The Fabulous Fashion of the Minoan Civilization 

Greeks took a look at the island and saw a minoan young lad punching a shark and they were like "nope"

😂

@jake dominguez Yes to give their kids stands if they were not born with them.

Steel King Benjamin oooo

@jake dominguez And the Cretans were renowned as archers well into the Roman Empire often serving in that role as auxiliaries. During the Second Punic War, King Hiero II sent Rome a thousand Cretans mercenaries, starting a long relationship.

Sign my toes!

Can’t show those on television!

don't mined me I'm just here to inform you your comment is doing well.

A historian wet dream is to find someone like that

Exactly. Though as a Greek myself I can attest to the fact that they were not technically "Greek" since they predate the migration of the Achaeans and other early Greek tribes in the region. However, they are still part of Greek history and their culture definitely influenced the later Geometric and Classic Greek culture, especially in Crete of course.

@Oggatha Christie The Mycenaeans are considered one of the earliest Greek Ethnicities though. Also please refrain from referring to Asia-Minor as "Ancient Turkey". The Turks would not exist yet as even a concept for a few thousand years more at that point.

That’s funny, to the Greeks, Minoans must have been ancient history

Even if the differing skin tone is more of a natural thing because of their clothes (and definetely stylistically exagerated) it's still subconsciously known that the more pale you are probably the more you can stay indoors, and thus less you need to work. So you are a noble, etc. Its like how very long nails were a sign of richness in east asia, since it means you dont need to do manual labor

skin lighteners are a very common type of makeup, and the oldest known to have been used, by the egyptians. that the art of these cultures may have depicted woman in an idealized way i think is also a factor that people need to consider.

No, there are enough original bits and also enough uncovered since Evans’s time to show that they did indeed have this style. And did it never occur to you that European art & clothing fashions were often based on the art and clothing that archaeologists and explorers illustrated or brought back? The regency period’s drapey dresses, smoking-jackets, dressing-gowns and turbans. The late 19th century architecture and decor (Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Frank Lloyd Wright) separately influenced by Japanese trade. The 1970s ceramics highly influenced by the astonishing Cucteni-Trypillian painted pottery (though mostly not able to emulate its complex shapes).

@@eh1702 Interestingly you can even see differences in skin colour based on the peoples ages, its the same with hairstyles. Theres so much we dont know yet but it is for sure more complicated than we imagine right now. Fun Fact: The fresco of the blue boy that is shown at 2:36 is today correctly reconstructed as a monkey, a very typical depiction. Blue seems to haven been their version of gray.

The minoans were actually time travelers, who traveled back in time to plant jojo references in early history for the meme.

As a Cretan, today I learned that our entire culture in ancient times was a jojo reference

Despite knowing Jojo, I didn't expect that is a Jojo reference

It practically could be!

I saw the thumbnail and I thought it was another on of Araki's weird ass arts.

IT IS

Recognized the artstyle but didn't thought it was jojo since I've seen it(didn't read the manga tho but I've seen the characters)

@HanselManCan mmm yes they were only good friends very good friends who loved each other very much so good in fact that achillies actually said he loved patroclus as much as his own life, look just stop trying to protect your fragile masculinity "oh no these historical figures cant be gay"

@wanka wanka Why couldn’t it be the same kind of relationship as we observe in the modern world? It’s like claiming that the ancient Greeks must have been colourblind because they didn’t have a word for the colour blue; there is no reason to assume the people of the ancient world were incapable of the full range of human experience that we observe in the modern world even accounting for differences in culture.

@wanka wanka It wasn't. "Gay" and "straight" are modern concepts. The Ancient Greeks had a very different understanding of sexuality in which gender didn't play as important a role as it does in our modern concept of sexuality. Instead, they found other things to be much more important such as the social status of the people having sex and whether one took a passive or active role in the intercourse.

@@leejerrett8268 We know it wasn't the same kind of relationship because the Ancient Greeks and Romans wrote a fair deal about love and sex. From that we can piece together a fairly good image of how they viewed sexual relationships. And while the people of the ancient world were fully capable of the same range of Human emotions and experiences that we modern people are capable of, the idea of romantic and sexual relationships is a social construct that is fully dependent on culture. In other words, radically different cultures have radically different ideas about love and sex. And the pre-Christian culture of the Ancient Greeks certainly was very different from our modern Western Christian culture. So to put it in other words, while two men in Ancient Greece could have loved one another, such a relationship would not have been thought of as "homosexual", since the very concept of homosexuality is alien to the Ancient Greek world. Ancient Greeks would have looked at such a relationship through their own frame of reference instead.

Realistically, they'd have more than a single game stored on a fragile digital disc to reconstruct our entire civilization. If nothing else, they'd have Final Fantasy.

Well, modern societies are much better at recording things than our ancestors, so unless something utterly catastrophic happens that destroys most of the records all over the world, they’d probably know what the game is and other general aspects of our societies.

By the way, that’s not to say that they didn’t keep records, though their way of doing so was weird and some of the historians at the time often tried to over-dramatize the events. But they also had catastrophic things happen, like the burning of library of Alexandria.

Sad because it’s true.

It’s not that hard to make an “Unbreakable” encryption, all it takes is assigning meaning to symbols at random, then destroying any keys to these symbols

@@zoeapostolidou3964 " We simply do not possess knowledge of what the symbols meant." Isn't that the whole idea of code? Obviously what they wrote was not code. THEY all understood it. But if we could get one of them to explain it, it seems we would have the perfect encryption for current times.

@@aeomaster32 No, it is not. We do not possess knowledge of what the symbols meant because we do not possess enough material to compare and decipher them, as we do for Linear B. They did not conceal their meaning, did not hide it to create some grand encryption only they knew, the "alphabet" is simply lost on us currently due to lack of material. Again, it's not an encryption, just a writing system.

I actually wondered that recently. One day it was so humid and I just didn't want to walk around with any clothes. Which is fine for indoors, but I needed to do stuff outside - in sight of neighbours. lol. I remember grumbling to myself why don't we have "updated" dress standards. Watching something on Egypt afterwards, I started thinking - Geez, these royalities are so scantily dressed. Looking into it some more, later in time, the pharoahs start to wear a type of big sleeve shirt. And I wondered if the weather was changing from really humid to colder too. So you may be onto something.

don't mined me I'm just here to inform you your comment is doing well.

I mean... probably. At least for the women who wore those fancy and (most likely hard to make) attire. But the main design and idea was probably the same. Women of lesser status would wear some more....poor looking variation of those dresses. As for the men they barely wore anything to begin with (at least in the depictions) so yeah. Or maybe both the male and female attire we've seen until now were depictions of high class elites and the common folk were dressed with anything they could get their hands on or whatever they found comfortable.

The poor minoans would certainly wear cheaper clothes, using cheaper fabric, cheaper dyes and less decorations. I do believe that the general shape of men's and women's clothes was similar for all classes. At least there's no evidence to the contrary. I can imagine though that peasant class and slave women's dresses would be somewhat shorter and a lot less wide than what we see depicted in Minoan art, because that'd be a lot more practical for house chores, field work, etc.

That is difficult to say, because we know very little about the structure of Minoan society. So we don't know who the Minoans depicted in those frescoes and statues are and what social class (if any) they represent, or even if they represent living, contemporary Minoan people at all. For all we know they could just as well depict gods or mythic ancestors. We also don't know the status and purpose of the depicted clothing. Was this the everyday clothing of the common Minoan? The courtly dress of the elite? The ceremonial dress of the priesthood? Was it always worn or only on special occasions such as religious festivals? We don't know any of that.

No shit
