Exactly. Though as a Greek myself I can attest to the fact that they were not technically "Greek" since they predate the migration of the Achaeans and other early Greek tribes in the region. However, they are still part of Greek history and their culture definitely influenced the later Geometric and Classic Greek culture, especially in Crete of course.

Here's an interesting mythology fact: Agamemnon's mother was actually a Minoan princess - Aerope, granddaughter of Minos. She married king Atreus (or, according to other versions, Pleisthenes) of Mycenae and gave birth to two sons, Agamemnon and Menelaus (possibly also a daughter named Anaxibia). I learned this recently while looking into the genealogy of the House of Atreus and it made me wonder whether or not Agamemnon's relation to Minos could be referencing the Mycenaeans' relation to the Minoans.

@g.sergiusfidenas6650

Ah yes the House of Atreus or just the whole Tantalid family, one of the most twisted families to ever exist in tradition or fiction, actually surprised how well things went for Menelaus given in comparison to almost all the rest of his clan.

*It’s funny to think about that thousands of years ago, there was a couple arguing:* “We are late, just wear the colorful one!” “Are you sure my ankles aren’t popping out? Last thing I want is a wardrobe malfunction!” “Oh my Gods! You’re fine, let’s go! All the good sitting rocks are going to be taken m, I can never hear from the back!”

I did my art thesis on the Minoan culture and I’m a huge Jojo fan, this video is like candy to me. Super well researched, the art is fabulous too

Its worth noting that Evan's reconstructions of Minoan artwork are increibly speculative. You can see in most of the images of the murals that actually only very small chips of the frescos survived and most of those were found buried on the ground, so even their placements on walls and ceilings is speculative as well. Evan's process of unearthing and "restoring" these fragments basically has made it impossible for later researchers to gather new evidence. Are the works of Minoan artists incredibly Art Deco-like, or was the Art Deco craze of the time an influence on Evan's reconstructions? Also, the color difference in depictions of men and women is also common to Egyptian art and is likely just a stylization rather an indication of "staying indoors". The color difference may even be related to the clothing difference: virtually naked men are going to tan far more easily than women in long gowns with sleeves... it is even possible that the clothing choices helped reinforce a beauty standard where men are tanned and women arent, rather than indicating a rigid division of labor. These same murals also often show women in natural settings outdoors. Although again, those reconstructions are often incredibly speculative.

@petrus9067

Even if the differing skin tone is more of a natural thing because of their clothes (and definetely stylistically exagerated) it's still subconsciously known that the more pale you are probably the more you can stay indoors, and thus less you need to work.

No, there are enough original bits and also enough uncovered since Evans’s time to show that they did indeed have this style. And did it never occur to you that European art & clothing fashions were often based on the art and clothing that archaeologists and explorers illustrated or brought back? The regency period’s drapey dresses, smoking-jackets, dressing-gowns and turbans. The late 19th century architecture and decor (Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Frank Lloyd Wright) separately influenced by Japanese trade. The 1970s ceramics highly influenced by the astonishing Cucteni-Trypillian painted pottery (though mostly not able to emulate its complex shapes).

To all of those who have been to Crete, you will recall that in the summer months the winds come mainly from the north, so leaving Crete the merchant navies would go south to the Lydian coast and swing left to Egypt. Using the seasonal wind variations, they and all the other traders would be able to circulate the eastern Mediterranean. European traders in the fourteenth and later ages quickly learned these world wide wind patterns from which we still know the names of the various ‘ trade’ winds’. Sadly, maps with Minoan,Mycenaean and Cypriot trade linkages do not seem to understand these basic principles.

It’s like claiming that the ancient Greeks must have been colourblind because they didn’t have a word for the colour blue; there is no reason to assume the people of the ancient world were incapable of the full range of human experience that we observe in the modern world even accounting for differences in culture.

@jodofe4879

3 жыл бұрын

@wanka wanka It wasn't. "Gay" and "straight" are modern concepts. The Ancient Greeks had a very different understanding of sexuality in which gender didn't play as important a role as it does in our modern concept of sexuality. Instead, they found other things to be much more important such as the social status of the people having sex and whether one took a passive or active role in the intercourse.

@jodofe4879

3 жыл бұрын

@@leejerrett8268 We know it wasn't the same kind of relationship because the Ancient Greeks and Romans wrote a fair deal about love and sex. From that we can piece together a fairly good image of how they viewed sexual relationships. And while the people of the ancient world were fully capable of the same range of Human emotions and experiences that we modern people are capable of, the idea of romantic and sexual relationships is a social construct that is fully dependent on culture. In other words, radically different cultures have radically different ideas about love and sex. And the pre-Christian culture of the Ancient Greeks certainly was very different from our modern Western Christian culture. So to put it in other words, while two men in Ancient Greece could have loved one another, such a relationship would not have been thought of as "homosexual", since the very concept of homosexuality is alien to the Ancient Greek world. Ancient Greeks would have looked at such a relationship through their own frame of reference instead.

My history teacher in high school actually did her phd on Minoan culture. We went on a school trip to Crete and visited all the main archeological sites on the island. She started tearing up when we went to Malia, which is a huge city mostly underground; she spent 6 months there in the 80's participating to the dig of the site. She's an expert in Minoan culture, and can read linear b. Her passion for this culture is incredible, and she really passed it down to most of us on the trip. She goes to Crete twice a year since her stay, and took her engagement photos on a gorgeous beach right near Malia where she took us after the visit. This was one of the best trips I've ever taken. She would correct tour guides nearby who were spitting crap to their groups. This lady is a legend.

Just to make everyone a bit happier, the minoans didnt disappear at all.

Also in case you didn't know, the Minoans are named in the Iliad as Eteocretans, (the true Cretans) and they had a powerfull pressense on the island, till at least the Roman Age, with their city-states of Dreros and Pressos, in which big samples of their language has been uncovered, Eteocretan, which was basicaly the minoan language, but with greek letters.

Unfortunately, this isn't really how Minoan men dressed. It's based on a reconstruction the excavator made ('The Priest King') with very little material to work with, so it's mostly improvised and imagined based on fragments that were scattered around the place. We now know that those headdresses were employed in art as the headwear of sphinxes, while men tended to just braid their hair or let it fall.

Well, the Olympics used to be conducted completely nude. And the Spartans were known to train together with their women in the buff as well. I think what really started the modesty craze was the advent of Christianity and morality. I could be wrong, but it seems our ideas of modesty changed drastically from even four or five hundred years prior! It's so interesting to learn about fashion through the ages!!

Honestly though. The entire time i’m just thinking of a scenario where I somehow time travel to the Minoan Period before their downfall. How would they react to seeing me, a blond long haired chubby 17 year old guy? Would they be kind and allow me to take refuge with them, or would I be a prisoner of sorts. That and a million other questions. It’s all so fascinating to me.

We had to learn about them in school, alongside other Mediterranean cultures from the time. It was quite interesting to see how they contrasted with their neighbours so differently, let alone the civilisations after them. From what we were taught in school, the way they dressed (mostly in regards to women), as well as their rituals and importance to women was because they viewed fertility as highly important for their society, and might have viewed their women as symbols of fertility. This might explain why they might have been given importance in society and religion, well as influencing the way they dressed; their breasts being a symbol of fertility, supposed to be shown to all of what you were blessed with. Many Mediterranean societies from this period and before gave importance to fertility, including those from my homeland in prehistoric times, so I wasn't surprised hearing when I heard about this. Either way, their civilisation was a unique note in history that should not be forgotten, and that should be given more importance. I do apologise for this long comment, and I do thank you if you read it this far. I appreciate it.

idk if you'll ever see this but I've been binging your videos for about 2 weeks at least, after the archeology iceberg wandered into my recommendations late one night, as I was falling asleep, full of cheese (it's a coping mechanism okay), only to be plagued with nightmares, wake up with agonizing indigestion and have a weird existential moment sat on the toilet ("so much has been lost..."). I love the videos you make, from the cryptids to the dinos to the archeology & anthropology. So much care goes into them, so much research, and while I have so much respect for the academic authority your reading shows, there's a comforting tenderness in so many of the videos you post, this kind of open, welcoming sense that we should be respectful of people and their ideas not just in our time, but throughout history, and it really just gives a sense of how beautiful being a human is and I'm so glad that these videos are a way for you and your viewers to really just celebrate and savor that with stuff like this. Keep being beautiful. (and wearing crop tops. If I wasn't a fat old man whose beer gut needn't be inflicted on anyone, but still looked like I did when I was like 16-19 I'd be so down for showing of my abs lmao)

Even looking at the poses and expressions especially of women, not just the fashion, there is such a striking difference between Minoan and classic Greek art. The Greek women are always pretty static and never ever smile. Minoan women in art are so often seen enjoying themselves, dancing and smiling.

Which is fine for indoors, but I needed to do stuff outside - in sight of neighbours. lol. I remember grumbling to myself why don't we have "updated" dress standards. Watching something on Egypt afterwards, I started thinking - Geez, these royalities are so scantily dressed. Looking into it some more, later in time, the pharoahs start to wear a type of big sleeve shirt. And I wondered if the weather was changing from really humid to colder too. So you may be onto something.

The poor minoans would certainly wear cheaper clothes, using cheaper fabric, cheaper dyes and less decorations. I do believe that the general shape of men's and women's clothes was similar for all classes. At least there's no evidence to the contrary. I can imagine though that peasant class and slave women's dresses would be somewhat shorter and a lot less wide than what we see depicted in Minoan art, because that'd be a lot more practical for house chores, field work, etc.

So we don't know who the Minoans depicted in those frescoes and statues are and what social class (if any) they represent, or even if they represent living, contemporary Minoan people at all. For all we know they could just as well depict gods or mythic ancestors. We also don't know the status and purpose of the depicted clothing. Was this the everyday clothing of the common Minoan? The courtly dress of the elite? The ceremonial dress of the priesthood? Was it always worn or only on special occasions such as religious festivals? We don't know any of that.
