I was thinking precisely the same. Malini is a genuine traveller who interacts with the natives of the beautiful places where she travels. Unlike many presenters who are just 'tourists' who travel to a destination, look down on others, and utter the memorized script.

Crete was one of the cradles of civilization. Modern day Crete cannot be compared to the glory of ancient Crete. Even today archaeologists do not know who the creators were of ancient Crete or the land of the Minoans, but they have left behind amazing frescoes of how the Cretan world look like 5000 years ago. The images of women clothed in grand clothes, multistoried buildings, awesome sculptures, the frescoes of the bull grappling sport, boxing match, a fisherman returning with his catch and numerous others. The whole thing is mind blowing. What is unbelievable is that the Cretans were dark complexioned and handsome. The women were very beautiful. After Arthur Evans discovered Crete, someone vandalized the frescoes and tried to paint the figures white to show that the Cretans were Europeans. which they were not. Greek mythology combines a lot of Cretan culture, especially the story of the Minotaur and the labyrinth. The people of the four greatest civilizations of the world, the Indus, the Sumerian, the Cretan and the Egyptian were all dark complexioned. Of the four the Indus was the oldest and the greatest, followed by Sumer, Crete and Egypt. But Crete was the most colorful. I wish the anchor would have shown the magic frescoes of Crete.

@sonofnothing2714 Жыл бұрын

This is a load of bullshit. Cretans were not dark complexioned, they were tanned and you can see it from the different color of women (they are painted white} because they were staying inside the house. Also, leaving out the Greco Roman civilization from the greatest civilizations while you live in a republic, your country takes part in the Oympic Games, you use the Latin alphabet and you have science filled with Greek and Latin words is a little funny. And the last thing, no one vandalized the frescoes, they were reconstructed by Evans himself, something that was not continued in later excavations.

@donaldfernandes7798 Жыл бұрын

@@sonofnothing2714 Thank you for the comments. Europe contributed almost nothing to the world in c, 3000 BCE. They were barbarians. Later they became exploiters and slave traders. The Alphabets do not come from Latin but from the Sumerian language. Cretans were dark complexioned and there can be no doubt about it. Local people never get tanned. It is only those who are outsiders get tanned and they are too few. As for Evans, the less said the better. The white paintings are not Europeans. They were waiting to be painted. Europe has had nothing to do with the cradles of civilization.

A lot of vegetables came from the Americas and those from the Mediterranean came from the Spanish. They were exported to Europe by the Spanish such as potatoes and oregano by the Spanish to the Americas. However, this history was suppressed due to the Anglo-Saxon American rewriting of history against Spanish and Native Americans. Also many Europeans today are not aware due to historical white supremacist bias against the people of the Americas and the Spanish empire, which initiated trade between New and Old world and also prevented the Islamic takeover of much of Europe. We in China are appreciative of what came from the Americas .
