[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: Lioness implies that the damaged copy is the only available ancient copy that survives today, [/QUOTE]I don't know what you are talking about we are dealing with a fragment of a fresco There are no other copies of this scene [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: which people could have used to reconstructed the exceptionally dark skinned individual(s). This would seem at odds with their (i.e. the Minoan) tendency to convert these scenes into themes. E.g., frescoes displaying the bull jumping theme were excavated even in Tell el Daba and the Levant. [/QUOTE]I don't know what you mean why would black skinned people in a fresco be " at odds with their (i.e. the Minoan) tendency to convert these scenes into themes" I don't understand what you are saying. I haven't said anything about this fresco. All I'm saying is look at the fresco rather than what some artist drew on it. [IMG]http://www.knowthyselfloveyourself.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Heracleion-minoan-fresco.jpg[/IMG] ^^^ The URL of this image is knowthyselfloveyourself.com, the picture is copied from Mike's webiste (as are other Minoan frescos in this thread, scholarly source, lol) Here is how it would look without the modern artist's add ons [URL=http://www.ephotobay.com/share/picture-32-74.html] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-32-74.png[/IMG][/URL] ^^^ I prefer dealing with this, it's the artifact without an artist speculation on the rest. It's more factual to look at it as it is rather than how somebody imagines it Of these small fragments there appears to a piece of leg and head that look jet black in skin color, yes The scene perhaps shows some Africans in Minoa Here is some writing on it The Mycenaeans C. 1650-1100 BC Nicolas Grguric 2005 [URL=http://www.ephotobay.com/share/picture-33-63.html] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-33-63.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://www.ephotobay.com/share/picture-34-80.html] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-34-80.png[/IMG][/URL] I never said there were no Africans in Minoa, nor do I deny a certain amount of African ancestry in Mediterranean people the question in this thread Should the Levant be an extension of Africa? That is the topic. I don't think these frescos resolve that question [/QB][/QUOTE]
