在地中海地区,有个灿烂的文明曾经辉煌了将近2000年。这个文明的创造者就是米诺斯人,他们因传说中的米诺斯王而得名。大约在公元前6000年,从希腊大迁徙中而来的移民在克里特岛定居下来,靠着肥沃的土地和富饶的大海,他们很快就昌盛起来,并且发展出多彩的文化。
这两项活动都以航海为基础,这是腓尼基人从他们的海上前辈——克里特岛的米诺斯人那里发展出来的一种能力。
Both of these activities were based on seafaring, an ability the Phoenicians developed from the example of their maritime predecessors, the Minoans of Crete.
米诺斯人不是古希腊人,其语言文字至今不明。
The Minoans were not Greek, and their language remains unknown.
当时,一个高度发达的米诺斯人社会正生活在该岛上。
At the time, a highly advanced society of Minoans lived on Santorini.
The Minoans are not Greeks.
米诺斯人不是希腊人
That is not true for Crete because, although they had a script-- and we have available to us tablets with those writings on them-- to this day no one has deciphered the language written by the Minoans.
不过对于克里特来说不行,因为,虽然他们的确有一些手稿存世...,我们能够看到这些写着字的残片,不过直到今天,没有一个人能破译米诺斯文明的文字
