They were of Turkic origin, though.

No skeletons clearly show they were Homo Sapiens.

I thought they were homo sapiens sapiens like us.

Turks are actually Greek. True undisputed fact.

???

500 years being generous

Anatolian, not Turkik

The Greek civilization which later became the basis for Western civilization was born around 800-700 BC centuries after the Mycenaean successor to Minoan civilization had completely collapsed. The new Iron Age Greek civilization was above all influenced by the cultures of the near east; their art and architecture were most influenced by Egypt and to a lesser extent the Levant and Assyria and their writing came from the Phoenicians. What Mycenaean influence did survive was mostly oral culture, but seeing as the Minoans weren't Greek speakers that can't be traced back to them.

Also that painting you posted is almost entirely a modern creation, based only on a few fragments showing their arms and hands. Your picture is blurry but you can make out the fragments from the real thing. The heads and faces are entirely fake.

Yeah, I'm just sick of seeing that picture posted everywhere. It's misleading.

But anyway, I don't see what Minoan art has to do with later Classical Greek art. After the Mycenaean collapse, Greek figural painting basically turned into literal stick-men. It only moved on from this in the Orientalizing period around 700 BC when they started adopting Levantine influences, resulting in a style that looks more Mesopotamian than Minoan. Then in the Archaic period this grew into what we now think of as 'classic' Greek painting.

Greek sculpture likewise grew out of Egyptian models.

They were depcited as darker than Syrians and Libyans by Egyptians for some reason

Same here. It's legal, but few do it except for parades, protests or at the beach.

Dark skinned men, light skinned women. Is this what all Anatolians looked like?

>>1824516
No, because their women were white. All of them too.

Is this what Proto Indo Europeans looked like?

Darkness is masculine. Lightness is feminine.

Even today, women tend to produce less melanin than men related to them (men tan better).

>>1825761
Good lord you're so fucking dumb.

INDOEUROPEAN is a LINGUISTIC GROUP, being genetically close to Europeans doesn't mean speaking Indoeuropean you stupid fuck, see Hungarians for instance, Linear A didn't convey an Indoeuropean language most scholars agree with that, Minoans descended from Anatolian farmers just like most European populations before the Indoeuropean horse riders invaded from the steppe and mixed with them, Minoans just stayed isolated for longer due to the fact that they lived in an island and a really long time ago.

Genetic studies put them close to NEOLITHIC europeans, so those European ethnicities that didn't mix with those steppe people who brought Indoeuropean langauges.

Stop spreading these lies. Their language was thought to be of middle-Anatolic origin, which was proven false.
Genetically they are related to white populations of middle Europe/northern Balkan, which is obvious because they came from the mainland.

Literally every culture except West Eurasian pastoralists were woman-worshiping cucks.

Civilization is a direct consequence of woman worship.

They are related to Cretans of course and to bronze Age Sardinians
