Unraveling the past of the Americas, while preserving that past for the future.
The Tugaloo stone always fascinated me from your point of view that one of the boats appear to be Minoan. I think I took this up with my teacher . However, because the Minoan Linear A has not yet been deciphered we could not find any evidence anywhere else to clarify whether it is indeed a Minoan boat or not. “INTERESTING” However I am, at the moment learning the Hittite language which seems to have a connection with Linear A but that’s going to take sometime.

I have a large book that shows all types of sailing boats and steam boats constructed up to the late 20th century. Here is the URL for the Nautical Museum of Crete, which has a model of a Minoan ship. http://www.travel-to-crete.com/photo.php?photo_id=8 The Minoan ships were built on an arc-shaped keel. Phoenician ships could be built on a flatter arc, but were bigger and more sturdily built – usually having a cabin either at the stern or midways,

All I can say is that seven miles north of my house, is a petroglyphic boulder portraying a Phoenician ship and 18 miles to the east is a carved stone monument with Swedish Bronze Age writing and astronomical symbols on it, which also portrays a Minoan ship, a Phoenician ship and two Scandinavian hjortspring boats. An ancient stone monument found near Columbus, GA on the Chattahoochee River appears to have Minoan writing on it.
