[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Mostly from the [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=003347]African echoes in Minoan art (clickable link[/URL] thread: Though the Minoans were an Aegean "white" people their art shows that some of them retained features attributable to the harbingers of E3b-M78 to Anatolia, the Balkans, and southern Europe, and/or copper and bronze age migrants from northern Africa. An Egyptian view of a Minoan phenotype as seen in these tax paying diplomats at the left, is not actually Minoan art. However the artist painting for Senmut had been exposed to real Minoan art styles as evinced by the fresco from Knossos on the right [IMG]http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/6637/brvscomplementuw1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/9545/bringingvasesvlmb7.jpg[/IMG] which is a segment from the more complete scene below. [IMG]http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/7103/pompisfullprocessionju1.jpg[/IMG] The Africans and Europeans of Crete were of one culture and people. The founding culture was North African but the population hailed from other Aegean islands, the Peloponnese mainland, and the Levant as well. Africans weren't the majority. The majority population was the unique comingling that produced the disctinct Minoans as drawn by themselves above right. [I've come to understand a respectable Anatolian element also contributed to earliest Minoan culture and population and should've been included in my paragraph above though I don't know anything at all about them. Maybe DJ will fill in some of the particulars on that element.] Despite scholarly recognition of that fact no one labels Minoans "mixed." As much as Eurocentrists cry that African doesn't mean black why then do they insist that European means white? Quite oxymoronic, no? [/QB][/QUOTE]
