Just throwing this out there, but if theyre Minoans, shouldnt they look less aryan and more greek?
(Research below) You mean dark hair Yes? Right me if I am wrong...Well If that's the case...Blond and red hair was also among Greek genetics of the time but not many people Know of it...then we're talking about mythology and as you probably know Apollo was spending half the year as Thor in Scandinavia while replaced by Dionysus on Delphi Temple. He was having many children with the locals...you can't go more Aryan than this...and this is why I love blonds and redheads myself...You can never get bored...Hence my main characters are "fair-haired" and I love it...in my humble opinion!
PS. If you watched my video animation...I have renders where you'll see that Mycenaean soldiers are more Greek in the sense the world knows them from the drawings...and yeah there is also a Minoan dark haired collaborator scout among them(named Cleto)...So yeah there's definitely more known to the world similarities there...but I'm not joking blonds and red hair were once among the ancient Greeks...Helen and Achilles son(Red hair)
