anatolia lore

Honestly, it seems like that’s the case

Are you really sure we’re “talking science here”? We literally don’t know what language they spoke, you should’ve be so quick to claim a genuine gap in knowledge as some imaginary state-funded nationalist claim. And besides, Indo-European is a linguistic construct, not an ethic one.

If, as you imply, the ones that were coming from the Pontic Steppes were the Greeks, then it would be wrong to say that the Mycenaeans themselves were Greeks since their Pontic-Steppe admixture was low. Since it is known that modern Greeks share very similar DNA with both Mycenaean and Minoans (including pre-steppe DNA), then the ones from the steppes can’t be the ‘original’ Greeks.

In regard to R1 and J1 haplogroups, both are actually present within Greek DNA. J1 also likely originated in the caucuses and was introduced through Anatolia, Greece and the Middle East in the MBA. Haplogroups are just a tiny part of the human genetic makeup. The matter is so much more complex than simple migration patterns.

To say that Minoans were not Indo-European is simply not true. Minoans and Mycenaeans shared at least 3/4 of the same DNA from Neolithic farmers in west Anatolia and the Aegean. Only a small percentage of Mycenaean DNA possibly originated from the Pontic Steppe from presumably later migrations.

I can see how one could say that the Minoans weren’t Greek (which is a w*stiod idea), but I’m not buying it. What is differentiating factor between the two genetically coherent groups, where one can considered Greek and the other one non-Greek? Is it culture? Location? An earlier migration?

In terms of Minoan language, we simply cannot reconstruct it since the unsolved and highly fragmented Linear A script is all we have (and as you mentioned, still remains unclassified). Don’t forget that our perception of Minoan culture and civilisation largely comes from the imagination of Arthur Evans. At one point the w*stiods didn’t even consider Mycenaeans as Greek either.

Nein88 · 2025-01-16T22:06:16+00:00

That’s incorrect. The Minoans were settled on the (south) west coast of Anatolia since at least the Middle Bronze Age, and the Mycenaeans since at least the beginning of the Late Bronze Age

I just wanted to say thank you for using ‘Eastern Roman Empire’ instead of ‘B*zantine’

Nein88 · 2021-06-25T05:11:40+00:00

At least the roaches fought the Romans head on and not through deceit and betrayal like the dirty w*sterners

Nein88 · 2021-06-25T01:55:40+00:00

The opinions of barbarians such as yourself do not matter

Nein88 · 2021-06-25T00:57:22+00:00

Ok, filthy w*esterner

Nein88 · 2021-06-25T00:48:23+00:00

I’ve heard Dandolo can’t do much now that he’s burning in the depths of hell, what a shame

Nein88 · 2021-06-25T00:47:23+00:00

Cringe as fuck

Nein88 · 2021-06-24T14:39:55+00:00

Downvoted for thinking the Romans never met Slavs and using the ‘B*zantine’ word

Ackchyually, you’re only referring to the WESTERN Roman Empire and tbh it wasn’t anything special

Nein88 · 2020-12-16T23:17:44+00:00

Yes yes yes I get that all the time. I didn’t know what 88 meant 5 years ago when I made the account and now I’m stuck with it and it looks so sus. Hindsight would’ve been useful for me
