[QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by adrianne: is it true they were influcened by libyan and egyptians? the cretans i saw on one of the tombs in egypt . they looked like they came from africa. [/QUOTE]Don't know about the "Libyans" [and what that would entail], but the Nile Valley for sure was influential to the folks of Crete. Writing developed in the Nile Valley seems to have flowed into Europe more than once, because it was to be reintroduced, after it disappeared with the decline of the Minoan controlled complex, via the Phoenicians in the form of alphabets. Myceneans and Classical Greeks drew from the foundations laid by the Minoans, and they [Minoans] were, as mentioned, not "Indo-European" speakers. Makes sense that the people who would bring advance culture into Europe, would not necessarily have been "Indo-European" speakers. This would be the case for "Neolithic" farming economy immigrants into Europe. [/QB][/QUOTE]
