Document Summary
Linear a is the writing, not readable, no clues. Beginnings are not greek, start with other civilizations (minoan in knossos) Able to access minoan, arts and sculptures, but can"t get inside their mindset without language. Fresco: a painting done onto fresh plaster (dries fast) Labyrinth, may mean double headed axe made of bronze. Greeks arrived at the end of the minoan period. Hittite 2500 bc, this language helps us access other languages. Rhotic (pronounce r) non-rohtic (don"t pronounce r) Cotton being put in the noses of the decease kept the soul in their body. Chariot light weight, two horses, spoke wheel. Groves in swards don"t allow them to get stuck in bodies. The power we have depends on others, not granted.
