Cypro-Minoan Syllabary...the one that derives from Linear A...the one before Mycenaean Greek Linear B!

Cypro-Minoan Linear C that came from Minoan Linear A.

Damn! Even our non Greek connection ends up with a Greek connection.

[Get Real!]

Άνθρωπος... ίασθαι... yap, that really sounds like ancient cypriot to me.

Moron!

That’s based on your assumption (like so many other assumptions you’ve been pre-programmed to accept) that the language we call “Greek” today is a Greek invention… but is it by any accident that so many Greek “katharevousa” (ancient Greek) words are so similar to ancient Cypriot?

Indeed. GR! has now posted another site that again refutes his own claims, the ancient Scripts website. Take a look at what it says about the Cretan script:

All the way on the top it states:

Genealogy Cretan

Crete was the cradle of the Minoan Civilization, which spanned roughly from 2000 BCE to 1200 BCE. In addition to incredible frescoes, indoor plumbing (!), the Minoans also developed the first written system of Europe.

...

Linear B and Cypriot both exhibit considerable similarity to Linear A. Because of its time depth, Linear A appears to be the immediate ancestor to both of these writing systems.

Can you imagine Greek Cretans wanting to now adopt this cave man script?? The idiocy of it all.

Now lets take a look at the Cypriot script that GR found from this site but neglected to give the link:

What does it say all the way on the top:

Genealogy Cretan

BWAHAHAHAHAHA ehhhhhh

Cypriot syllabary seemed to have derived from Linear A, and therefore is like a sibling to Linear B. For this reason, sometimes the script at this very early stage is called Cypro-Minoan

....

Greek settlers colonized Cyprus around the 12th century BCE, and they likely adopted the Cypro-Minoan script for their own use

...

Not surprisingly, the first readable text in the Cypriot script appeared in the 11th century BCE to write the name of the owner of a funerary object. Analysis of this name reveals both a known Greek name and archaic Greek declension patterns.

....

The Cypriot script was finally abandoned only after extensive Hellenization by Alexander the Great.

GR is a revisionist clown. Clearly his own sites state Greek settlers colonized Cyprus around the 12th century BCE. He is blinded by stupidity that he ignores the relevant parts to the very articles he points to and preaches. He ignores reality because it does not fit into his revisionist theory.

“katharevousa” (ancient Greek) words are so similar to ancient Cypriot? :lol:

The cretin actually think katharevousa means ancient Greek!

What was the argument? Was it the origin of the Cypriot script? No it was not!

The argument was the likelihood of a presence of Mycenaeans on Cyprus and where they got their Greek alphabet from.

So, how are any alleged similarities between the Minoan and Cypriot scripts relevant to the argument?

I hope you’re not suggesting that Minoans were ancient Greeks…

The subject is Greek settlers colonizing Cyprus and thanks to your links, the proof is indisputable that it did occur and in great overwhelming numbers. As far as the Eteocretans and their influence on the Mycenaean Greeks, well, it was great and we can see that influence in places like Cyprus, Crete, and the rest of the ancient Hellenic world.

It's not a bad attempt to distance the illiterate Mycenaeans from their CYPRIOT EDUCATION, but no chocolate cookie because the Mycenaeans first adopted the Cypriot language and then the Phoenician (Minoans were long gone by now) which they ultimately modified to some extend and took back to their DARK motherland of even more illiterates…

PS: In case you didn't get it, you have a problem with your timing... the Minoans were already caput and could not have contributed to the Mycenaean education!

Its 2:30 in the morning, GR. Unlike you, i dont live in this forum so i am going to call it a night after this post. Here u go:

The Minoans greatly influenced the Mycenaean Greeks;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_civilization

Seems everyone was influenced by everyone.

Minoan cultural influence indicates an orbit that extended not only throughout the Cyclades (so-called Minoanisation), but in locations such as Egypt and Cyprus.

BTW I find it extremely odd that YOU would say "caput" to the Eteocretans. Extremely odd because you still claim to be an Eteocypriot


But yes, eventually they went the way of the Eteocypriots.
