- 47. Minoan Writing • Minoans – Linear A • Accounts of transactions? • Maybe derived from Egyptian hieroglyphs. • Mycenaeans- Linear B – An early form of Greek – has been translated
- 49. • “…they spoke a language we don't understand and they wrote in a script which we can't read. So the voices of the Minoans, their stories, their history as they understood it, is lost to us.”

Linear A & B • Crete, Thera volcanic eruption, & tidal wave: 1450 to 1500 BCE-destroyed Minoan cities including Knossos. • Attack of Myceneans.
- 51. So… What? • Do you think most civilizations are off-shoots of another, or did they develop independently? • HOW do you think ideas spread in the ancient world? • What kinds of ideas were probably the mozt popular or EASIEST to spread?
Editor's Notes
- Iraq – Thunderstorm coming!
- Navigable to 6th cateract…
- Limestone grave marker from Upper Egypt: depicts a Nubian soldier named Nenu holding his bow and arrows; Beside him is his wife, wearing the close-fitting linen dress typical of Egyptian women. Nenu wears a kilt tied with a characteristically Nubian leather sash. In the upper right, an Egyptian servant presents a bowl of beer. Dogs are often included on the stelae of Nubian soldiers, suggesting the great affection they had for these pets.
- Horemheb (sometimes spelled Horemhab or Haremhab and meaning Horus is in Jubilation) was the last pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. He ruled from either 1319 BC to late 1292 BC,[1] or 1306 to late 1292 BC (if he ruled for 14 years) although he was not related to the preceding royal family and is believed to have been of common birth. Before he became pharaoh, Horemheb was the commander in chief of the army under the reigns of Tutankamun and Ay. After his accession to the throne, he reformed the state and it was under his reign that official action against the preceding Amarnarulers began. Horemheb demolished monuments of Akhenaten, reusing their remains in his own building projects, and usurped monuments of Tutankhamun and Ay. Horemheb presumably remained childless since he appointed his vizier Paramesse as his successor, who would assume the throne as Ramesses I
- Who are these people? Nubian? Egyptian? Probably BOTH! Nubian queens of Egypt…
- By 730 Egypt in decline. Kushites invaded & ruled 100 years as 25th Dynasty – til driven out by by Assyrians. Continued to rule Nubia as Egyptian culture.
- By 5th c. BCE Kushites ruled only their own land – Decidedly Egyptian culture. Hieroglyphs ? Pictograms – or Phoenecian Alphabet that represented phonetic sounds?
- Egypt and Nubia developed side by side- adopting some ideas from Mesopotamia, with whom they traded.
- What’s another name for “urban center?” City. So was this a civilization? Maybe! It was here that later Ghana, Mali and Songhai were built. We just don’t have enough firm information YET.
- Modern Day Lebanon
- Loved jewelry! But have not found any… WHY? On Thera, knew volcano was coming, so evacuated with time to spare! (Unlike in Pompeii). On Crete, squatters stayed, but …most evacuated. Started new settlements
- Egyptian influence in Architecture – monolithic, heavy
- 1600 BCE – Capitol- Knossos
- Youths boxing
- Initiation ritual – demonstrated by belts. Monkeys wore a harness…
- Saffron from Crocus stemens
- Reconstruction of baboon -
- reconstruction
- Garment for ritual wear only – reconstruction of original w/ some interpretation…
- Snake Goddess (c.1600 BC) - Found in Palace of Knossos, height 13 1/2 inches (34.3 cm) - Archeological Museum, Herakleion
- Secular dress – covers breasts; Initiate has open bodice, but not developed + topknot with shaved head starting to grow hair back
