[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] For all intended purposes Mike's website is good for pictures, the information he conveys is a whole other issue that I won't even touch. [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: First of all the Minoans themselves distinguished two types-- . [/QUOTE]Similarly differnt types depicted in the Egyptian art [IMG]http://archive.archaeology.org/1003/etc/images/tut3.jpg[/IMG] Here is Tutankhamun, shown as a sphinx, trampling Egypt's traditional foes, a Levantive, perhaps Syrian and a Nubian, painted on a chariot in his tomb [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually what I meant was that the Minoans depicted two types of people in their art that portrayed their society. One type is very dark (black) and tends to have shorter rounder noses and curlier hair, though not always as there are those with straight small noses and wavy hair like the harpist; the other type is lighter reddish or brown hue with longer noses and wavy hair. Both types seem to correspond to the findings of skeletal remains on Crete. The latter type was more common than the former and together with the material culture it becomes apparent that the Minoans were predominantly an Anatolian derived people though with African types living among them. The earliest culture on Crete was a neolithic pre-Minoan culture that bears many affinities to Libyan culture. Thus while the Anatolian settlers became the primary element of Minoan culture, the Africans were the first settlers. This is different from the Egyptians who portrayed themselves more or less as homogeneous with foreign types usually depicted as enemies. If you want to discuss the Minoans I prefer you do so on the dozens of threads pertaining to that topic as this thread is about the Levant. [/QB][/QUOTE]
