[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: I'm not aware of paintings that specifically depict what you're describing so I can't speak on that, but like I said, I can easily imagine that they exist given the fact that Minoans had certain themes in their art which they repeated over and over. I'd would be easy to reconstruct the damaged parts of a bull jumping figure in a damaged fresco without being too far off the mark because there are many examples of bull jumping figures on Minoan frescos, some of which have been found in ancient Egypt and the Levant. Case in point, compare the nape of the necks and the elongated back of the heads of figures in both scenes below; probably identical (only difference I can detect is the long strands of hair on the figure in the image to the right). The latter figure (and others like it) could easily serve as a example to get an idea of what the men behind the Minoan "captain" looked like: [IMG]http://s21.postimg.org/pciufy58n/picture_35_69.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Images_Minoan/Minoan_fresco.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]^^ here with the harp player tou have a heavily restored image from Mike's website. Is an African being represented? Have you done any reading on it as to what it's supposed to represent? Do you know the name or location of the piece ? What is the point of posting these? Are you trying to say Minoa was an extension of Africa? Are we getting a general overview on Minoan art?

[/QUOTE]^^^ This is a modern illustation done on computer copied from a wall painting. It is from biblepicturegallery.com " One of 6000+ images at Christian Computer Art Art.com" http://www.biblepicturegallery.com/pictures/egyptianr/Cana Not exactly scholarly sources, but anyway... The Filipino guy commenting on it has figured out who is "black" and who is "white" He believes all people depicted on it are black except some"whites" in the right hand quarter. [URL=http://www.ephotobay.com/share/picture-37-46.html] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-37-46.png[/IMG][/URL] ^^^ He says this is a black person because anybody that dark is black. That's how he defines "black", soley by skin tone and he has stated it many times. That means all people in the world can be divided into "black" and "white" according to a specific cut off point that divides each of these ranges [IMG]http://www.historywiz.com/images/greece/fisherman-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-21-28.png[/IMG] ^^^ these are the two Minoan fisherman frescos found at the city of Akrotiri on the Greek island of Santorini So would you agree that they are depictions of black people? I'm not asking you if they are "black skinned" or are "black Mediterraneans" or "Black Minoans" >>> I'm asking you in your opinion are the depictions of blacks, are they black people? yes or no, thanks And if they are black that means they're African too ? I call this paper bag anthropology [/QB][/QUOTE]
