    Good work, as for your comment at the beginning: 2013 archeogenetics study compared skeletal mtDNA from ancient Minoan skeletons that were sealed in a cave in the Lasithi Plateau between 3,700 and 4,400 years ago, to 135 samples from Greece, Anatolia, western and northern Europe, North Africa and Egypt.They found that the Minoan skeletons were genetically very similar to modern-day Europeans-and especially close to modern-day Cretans, particularly those from the Lasithi Plateau. They were also genetically similar to Neolithic Europeans, but distinct from Egyptian or Libyan populations. A 2017 archeogenetics full genome sequencing study of Minoan remains published in the journal Nature concluded that the Mycenean Greeks were genetically closely related with the Minoans, and that both are closely related, to modern Greek populations. Therefore the theory that they were pre-Greeks seems to hold major scientific water.

    Indeed. And the claim that Linear A must be something else other than Greek- supported by plenty of lazy academia- is not based on any hard evidence or thorough linguistics. They simply haven't identified the language and yet insist on claiming that it isn't Greek. For 50 years many lazy scholars claimed Linear B was not Greek, again without any evidence, until Michael Ventris in the 50's proved Linear B is Greek!!!

    Kudos to Mr. Brouwers for giving a very accurate account of what is currently believed historically regarding the Minoan civilization. Not Mr. Brouwers but I'd like to see a complete separation of Greek lore (Minator, etc) from Minoan descriptions. Greek methodology is Greek mythology, lets not try to find things in Minoan civilization based on Greek methodology with zero historical basis unless a bull painting constitutes proof of Greek lore.

    Justin Courtois That would be nice as the the Cycladic Civilization was sophisticated for its time; with the Civilization starting between roughly ~3500-3200BC. It had stone buildings that were multi-storied, with impressive staircases and drainage systems. As well, they were metallurgically capable and were maritime seafarers that shipped huge quantities of building materials, and traded extensively. They produced pottery and beautiful, high quality abstract sculptures, some even life size ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/l6SrzZlqncSsgsY.html ). - “...architectural findings of Kavos on the island of Keros in the Cycladic Islands group confirmed the existence in Early Cycladic times of a complex, stratified and technically expert society.” - “remains of the culture at the time include “impressive staircases, drainage pipes and stone buildings that reveal an advanced urban architecture without precedence for the specific period.” - “The complicated, interlinked and multi-level architecture shows the existence of a well-organised and well-built settlement on a steep promontory,” - “According to co-excavator professor Colin Renfrew, Daskalio shows that the building techniques that were applied, the existence of huge entrance gates, stone ladders and the drainage pipes throughout the island show that there must have been a specialist architect and a central administration to carry out the building programme. He said the complexity of the construction is only comparable to Knossos on Crete for the same early period, he said.” ( www.thenationalherald.com/241555/early-cycladic-society-on-keros-noted-for-architectural-wonders/ )

    The Minoans were the 1ST Greeks and were Indo-European ancestors of Medes and Persians in Anatolia who moved into Crete and mixed their religion with ancient local religious beliefs The Mycenaeans took over Crete to assist after the natural disasters , they were asked by Minoans to come and reestablish order

    Thank god I am not the only one, I skipped around and heard more bullshit, the creatans in no way were war like the size of the island and resources available couldn't allow that there wasn't enough man power. They were a trading folk with some naval dominance and next to impossible to invade from a logistical and geographic standpoint so people let Minoans do their thing. It was only after Thera started acting up and the island became destabilized by title waves and earthquakes and only then did the mycenae take over and even then they pretty much puppet stated them. Actually Minoan trading goods can be found as far as Babylon and the island was a trading centre. The stuff about minoan society and ladies was true but there was obviously a focus on Male energy with the bull leaping.

    I think I will stand a bit more on the connection between Minoans and Greeks. Although Minoans are not considered "Greeks" so to speak by many people, on the other hand Greeks have a good claim when they say they are their descendants (even dna wise). In the end the Greeks (especially in Crete) adopted many of the customs of Minoans and really incorporated them into their culture. That's why we consider them part of our history and not something foreign and there are many things that support that like the fact that even their alphabet was modified for the first written Greek language or that they appear in many tails of mythology, sometimes even as part of the Greek identity. So yes, they were not originally considered Greeks as with many other tribes but they eventually are part of what created the Greek identity (similar to many other instances of such close peoples) and they are thus part of our rich history.

    didn't the Greeks actually write very negatively about the Minoans? They pretty made them out to be monsters who fed young Athenian men and women to a giant bull-man (the product of a bestial affair the queen had with Poseidon's bull) that was imprisoned beneath their palaces. The Greeks made the Minoans out to be blood-thirsty, power-hungry heathens who were _enemies_ of Greece (and in power over them). What do you say to that?

  • @antonispangalos

    @@Red_Leviathan I'd say that, that is completely incorrect. We can see that from Thucydides's (probably botched the spelling there, I always do with ancient names) mythological/real accounts of their period, that even long gone, their memory somewhat existed through myth and legend. He states, that king Minos, created a great fleet and army, with which he cleared the Aegean from piracy, and threw away the people of Karia from the islands colonising them for themselves, finaly bringing them to stability, peace and prosperity. Plus, only the fact that Minos himself, was son of their head God, and also head judge of the dead in the underworld, is enough to show how much he was appreciated, and how much powerfull he really was. After all in his supposed reign, the Island prospered. He built great palaces and monumental structures (Labyrith, Knossos Palace), brought peace and prosperity to the whole Aegean through his great fleet, had personal relations with the gods, since we know that every a certain time, Minos supposedly went to the Dictaion Cave to recieve the laws with which he would govern his Kingdom from Zeus himself (he was his son after all), and had a giant bronze robot to protect his island from attack, Talos, made by the chief smith god, Hephaestus. The case of the bull, was after all only a Hubris occasion, something that happens all the time in ancient greek Mythology with great and powerfull rulers, and even more with people descended from gods, (since he refused to sacrifice that white bull his wife f*cked, to Poseidon, causing the sea-god to make the wife want to f*ck it in the first place, because Minos pissed him off with that action, and which led to the birth of Minotaur. So it actually isnt even just his fault, but rather Poseidon as well, who started it and caused it. After all the bull incident, happened because Minos wanted to show how close his relations were with the gods, that asked for Poseidon to send him such a bull to sacrifice, which he then didn't though, but Poseidon replied. Something no other king of the era could boast, such a personal relationship with the gods). As for the youths the Minotaur ate, that again a way to showcase Crete's power in the mythological era, and that Minos did what he wanted. And thats not even something dark, there are Greek kings in the mainland that did even worse and darker things in Mythology. And again Minos was one of the Judges of Hades after death, so again, litteraly the most respected rurel of Greek mythology, and basicaly a god-king. Plus, how can the actions of an arrogant and divine ruler correspond to the people themselves? As for the enemies of Greece, let me remind you, that Minos's grandson was Idomeneus, the Cretan warlord who fought alongside Agamemnon and Odysseus in the Trojan war, so thats pretty much enough to show that werent only just friends, but basicaly Greeks. Only Greeks sided with the Greeks in the Trojan war. And historicaly, it is the Myceneans that conquered the Minoans, not the other way around, so who are the bloodthirsty c*nts after all? (Though, truth be told, we did perform human sacrifices in the late Minoan Age, but in that period, the Minoans saw their empire collapse from natural disaster, and there was also the imminent Mycenean invasion. So they'd whould have surely thought, theirs gods were pretty much pissed with them, and that needed to be adressed drasticaly to appease them. So the Minotaur's diet might be a memory of that passed through myth, but I dont know. But they definitely didnt think of them as heathens, rather legendary status, world class god related superpower that could do whatever the f*ck wanted, since the only greater power than them in the mythological greek world, were the gods themselves.
