  • I like feta cheese!

  • i like cheese !

  • The Reptilians are to blame.

  • Sucks to have been living on Thera during the eruption.

  • The Linear B writing style is an adaptation o an earlier writing form (Linear A). Therefore it is closely linked but entirely unrelated. The similarity of homophones and phonetics is irrelevant it is the basis of the language that is the crux of the matter. Linear A

  • Actually the Minoans came from middle east(lebanon) and settled at Crete

  • Wrong!!!

    is the other way around!!!

    philistines and phoenicians came from minoan crete

  • Please name your sources, so that i can look up the information if you say i am wrong.If you have knowledge to help me, i am humble enough to accept it.However, just a statement "Wrong!!!" without any evidence doesn`t work for me. My source is Phd. Demosthenes Kontos who actually grew up in Sparta, and teaches Greek and Roman history.Also the text

    : The ancient World: A Social and Cultural History by Dr. Brendan Nagle(Unv. South.Calif) on page 90 has them coming from asia minor region.

  • "Hebrew is Greek" Joseph yahuda

    Jewish Linguist, Oxford Uni,

    1982 Becket Publications

    You know truth in our days is under persecution.

    DID YOU NOTICE ALLREADY?

  • Maybe we use a lott of Greek words since Most of latin comes from Greek and the Roman world Were allover Europe.

  • Yahuda and the article writer should have been aware that both the Hebrew and the Greek alphabets derive from an earlier one, that the Greek alphabet is more advanced since traditional letters are used for vowel-sounds, whereas in Hebrew the vowel-sounds are not represented by letters, and that the earlier script is an offspring of the Sumerian pictographic script. Alpha (A) is a simplification of the Sumerican outline of an ox-head. The horns used to be upwards

  • what are you talking about??

    Yahuda was not an article writer!!!

    He was a dean of the University of Tel aviv.

    Get the book read it and learn the truth!

    The truth is that Greek language and civilization was the basis of all.

  • Dude,first of all I have read the book.second of all its on line for free,thirdly its from 1982. Fourthly you are obviously close minded and convinced that he is correct and that all others are wrong.Therefore you are completely biased and there is no use discussing the subject any further. The "article writer" just refers to the person who wrote the intro or preface to the book if you will.

  • have you??

    So you speak hebrew and ancient greek?? ;-O

    people that can do that are very rare!!

    so either you are a wise man either you are a typical liar!!

    as for the "biased" i'm not!!!!

    did you know that "biased" is a greek word by the way??

  • do you know that there are more Civilistations that have been long before the Greeks.

    the greeks were a fine people yes.

    But you are a BIIIIIIG idiot if you think that the Greeks did it all.

    you must think that the greeks createtd the universe too.

  • which civilization???

    Give me an example??

  • @examinfo Europeans came from the Middle East a long time ago, that is why many ancient southern Europeans look Middle Eastern in appearance. Look at ancient Greek and Etruscan frescos, they are dark featured people, except until the light Nordic/Germanic peoples came down from the north and mixed.

  • One mistake!!!! Minoans were greek!!!! Zeus got birth there in crete!!!!!!

  • The minoans werent greek.

    why do they then say that the minoans learned the greeks to build.

  • and who sais that??

    the zionist wikipedia??

    minoans were pelasgians they were protogreek!!!

    homer mentions them in the trojan war

    they fought in achilles side

    don't forget trojan war was a greek civil war

  • They say that the greeks came Traveling from Asia minor and then the greeks meet the minoans.

    yeah but they still dont have to be the same people, Historians have used the names for other Civilisations for other people.

    I know the Troyan Myth and the Odesy and The Aeneid

    They still say that the Egyptians learned the Minoans to build

    They learned the greeks and the Greeks the romans

  • the egyptians learned the greeks to build?? :-O

    egypt is a greek word

    pyramid is a greek word

    when Solon an athenean lawmaker went to egypt an egyptian priest told him "you greeks are like children because even if you are the most ancient ones always something terible happens and you start all over again!!"

  • Stop reading history from Zionist sources!!

    Minoans, cycladians, myceaneans, dorians, Ionians were all pelasgians (protogreek).

    Greek swere indigenous and Trojan war is not a myth.

  • The Egyptians were Writng long before the greeks learned to Crawl

  • I'm sorry but this is the truth!!!!

    if you can't handle truth keep living in their lie.

  • Michael Ventris, an English architect, deciphered Linear B writing and proved, beyond any doubt, that the Minoans of the second millennium BCE were speaking and writing in Greek. The Aegean of that time was indeed Hellenic. In fact, as it turns out, the Linear scripts use many symbols that resemble letters of the Greek alphabet.

  • Recent work that has been done on the decipherment of an even earlier Cretan script found on the Phaistos Disk, especially by Dr. Steven R. Fischer, proved that the disk writing is also Greek, thus extending the Hellenic connection of the Minoans into the third millennium BCE.

  • Dr. Fischer in his book Glyphbraker presents a meticulous and scholarly account of his decipherment of the Phaistos Disk that was based on the glyph correspondences between the Phaistos Disk and symbols of Linears A and B. His work has been endorsed by The National Geographic and is by far the most credible and realistic decipherment of the Phaistos Disk to-date.

  • The Minoans spoke and wrote in Greek, at least 1300 years prior to the appearance of the Phoenicians! Some may argue that the Phaistos Disk is written in pictorial script (glyphs) and it is syllabic, not alphabetic. This is true. However, the relation of the Phaistos Disk to the syllabic Linear A and B scripts is stunningly similar, thus proving the continuity and evolution of these writing scripts.

  • Hence, the question at hand is, did the birth and early evolution of the Greek alphabet begun in the East (Phoenicia) or the West (Crete)?

    ...The ancient historian Diodorus of Sicily mentions in his writings that Dosiades, a writer of epigrams, told him that the letters were invented by the Cretans (Dosiades de en Kriti phisin evrethinai auta [grammata].) (Diodorus, II 783.14)

  • Furthermore, according to the On-Line Encyclopedia Britannica, the late Sir Arthur Evans, the brilliant archaeologist and scholar who dedicated most of his life excavating, deciphering and documenting the advanced civilization of the Minoans, argued ingeniously that the alphabet was taken over from Crete by the Cherethites (Kereti=Cretans) and Palestu (Philistines=Pelasgoi) who established for themselves settlements on the coast of Palestine. From them it passed to the Phoenicians!!!

  • This is a statement and scientific observation of great importance, and has far reaching implications in the quest to identify not only the origins of the alphabet, but the origins of civilization in the Mediterranean. ...WE SHOULD NOT FORGET ALSO THAT PHOENICIA WAS ESTABLISHED BY AGINOR A GREEK KING FROM ARGOS!!!!

  • The first Phoenicians were GREEK-AEGEANS!!!

    ...NOT QUESTION ABOUT THAT!!!..The Semites who arrived there later,adopted EVERYTHING FROM THE GREEK SETTLERS.!!!..Navigation,lette­rs,mathematics,arts!!!!....ENJ­OY!!!

  • Historical and scientific evidence show unequivocally that the Philistines were composed of Greek-speaking tribes and recent archeological evidence point-out that they most certainly came from Crete (Caphtor). It is interesting to note that the biblical Cherethites were Cretans (Cherethites=Kereti=Cretans) and they became King Davids personal and professional military force (1 Sam. 30:14)

  • Gerhard Herm in his book The Phoenicians writes that the Philistines had not only had close contact with the Achaeans (i.e. Hellenes) but in fact stemmed directly from them. Goliath, who challenged David wearing Mycenaean armour, could have been a descendant of Menelaus, Achilles, Odysseus Thus, here in the Gaza strip the last act of a drama was played out which had begun in Crete (p. 56)

  • No question!
