UW PROF FINDS THE MINOANS
Archaeologists found the remains of farmers living in Crete by around 9,000 years ago. The civilization these people created, Minos, was among the the worlds first “high” civilization. Legends of Minos formed the basis for early Greek myths .. from the Minotaur to Atlantis. Minos’s civilization seeded the more military society of Mycenea and may, through the Hyksos of Egypt, also have been the root source of the Hebrews.
So .. the Minoans originated not in Africa but from the the Middle East and Turkey. so these could be the ancestors of the Minoans. Of course DNA is not the same as ideas. The geneticists must bow to the “soft” sciences,. semantics, archaelogy, anthropology to answer the question of the origin of the ideas that drove Minoan civilization.
Coming next … where did the Greeks come from?
