Thank you for this fascinating look into the texts and culture of those Greeks who used Linear B ! Most enlightening!

Great video, thank you very much. Really looking forward to future talks.

Glad I found your channel. Your book on Aristotle is wonderful.

This was wonderful, thank you!

I don't doubt that as time goes on and new discoveries are made, we'll find further evidences of the Mycenaeans early lexicon written/spoken on the mainland and be able to discern the differences with the later Cretan Myceono-Cretan script. I don't know why we don't 'know' the Minoans' real name by now, their name must have been spoken in records we have, we just haven't put two and two together yet. I would expect to find some mention in myth, regarding a people who fell foul of their god and were made examples of for the rest of humanity. One would expect Minoan artisans to have been in demand after they sought refuge, and their foreign names to be included in registers, which could assist in determining aural potentials. I'm of the mind that the Theran eruption caused far more than immediate carnage, and caused a nuclear winter which destabilised the whole region, allowing multiple polities to take advantage of local conditions over the next 400 years, until the next tipping-point brought the next human epoch, Iron, and the next confederation from beyond the horizon.

It looks increasingly likely that whatever language the Minoans spoke, it was in fact an Indo-European dialect. (See Fingelberg)

The names are not a coincidence. Linear B was 'deciphered' 80 years ago by taking the most common Greek words of the Iliad and pasting them over the most common "Linear B sylables". So, Bullshit in, Bullshit out. So much to "truth seeking" and "scientific" approach.
