I never knew much about them as I am always sidetracked by the paintings of their women’s low cut clothes....

Archaeological evidence shows Minoans used violence and were prepared for war,

Aren't they the people who eventually migrated to what is now southern Israel and became the Philistines?....................

Thanks, good to know, that was for another FReeper.

Thank you for another great data dump. When do you ever sleep? ;-)

I copied the tag line starting with the https into Google and got a number of articles. The first one was for Mel Gibson, then starting about 6 articles down were a number of articles you had posted at FR that included your entire tag line. There did not seem to be any specific link to a go fund me site.

SunkenCiv addressed my comment (above). That said, I love SunkenCiv’s articles. Fascinating stuff!

And I thought the Minotaur was just an ancient apparition of Jerry Garcia and the labyrinth just a bad trip...

[SunkenCiv]

Sleep? ;^)

[SunkenCiv]

It's probably time to go back to my old tagline, uh, whatever it was.

[SunkenCiv]

They do, and so too the outdigenous peoples.
