The Ancient Minoans: Keftiu were Mande Speakers.Every since Arthur Evans discovered the Hieroglyphic and Linear A writing of Crete there has been a search for the authors of this writing. Some Grecian traditions indicate that Fezzanese(called Garamante) formerly lived on Crete. This suggest that some of the Eteocretans may have spoken one of the ancient languages of Libya. A major group from Libya that settled Crete were the Garamante. Robert Graves in (Vol.1, pp.33-35) maintains that the Garamante who originally lived in the Fezzan fused with the inhabitants of the Upper Niger region of West Africa.[/QUOTE][b]Robert Graves: [/b] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-23-80.png[/IMG] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: Keftiu The Egyptians called the Cretans Keftiu.
