mycenean armor
you see the κορυς helmet made by bones which is mark of IE entrance, arsenic bronze road, and show connectivity with Vatin and Vucocar IE stops,
the above is trade mark of all IE cultures until iron age,
that is a possible theory of Mycenean ancestry by many scientists,
the other possible is the minor Asian origin expresed also by many scientists
from the title the ones who read this thread you can guess what I will write
1) Linear B
2) Mycenean society and linguistic
3) the turn from Q to P which exists in Greek and Celtic
1 )Linear B
Before the alphabet we see the SYLLABEAR SYMBOLS and the LOGOGRAPHS
the genesis of the GREEK language
most linguists today consider the same area as Georgiev suggested that Greek split from an older group of IE langauges (many theories suggested, greco-phrygian, greco-Aryan etc etc)
(personally I have some pre cautions about the map)
from that area were proto Greek appeared seemed that sprunk a later form of primitive or proto Greek the Mycenean
Mycenean was spoken to south Greece, and is the mother language of the achaic dialect and relative to Dorian
The writing System before Alphabet is
1) Kretan Ieroglyphics (Logos) some called it Lydian
2)Linear A not solved, possibly the Minoan language or a religious signal (Makedonians priest also use ieroglyphics )
3)Linear B the Mycenean Language writting system
Linear B was discovered by Arthur Evans and 'solved' by Ventris and Chandwick
2) Mycenean society and Linguistic
Mycenean was a feudal/empire society with grace from the city(palace) owner,
it seems palace had 4 roles
α) market with laws and protection from a 'king' (even the roads in his authority)
β) barracks and troop camp
Γ) treasury warehouses
Δ) high quality factories (lower quality was in villages and landowners houses)
there was priest activity in palace but priest prefer to stay in temples, which many times could be outside town
the ultimate title in the begin was ΑΝΑΞ (ανακτος) FANAX WANAX wa-na-ka (compare aryan anahitta = queenn)
beneath him was Λααγετας ΛαFaγετας Lafayetas or Lafagetas la-wa-ge-ta (Modern Λαοηγετης laoegetes) a prince that was in command as high general and as cancelor
lafayetes were Achileas a-ki-re-us Hector Antilochos
Lafagetes had their own court, house/temple τιμαριο τεμενος te-me-no
in a second degree were the kings (peripheral, preferacture town owners and military leaders)
they were named βασιλεις qa-si-re-us Βασιλευ
(Notice that the -re- always goes to le or la in Greek, Homer called that as Λυγρα)
the court of kings was like a council to anax and was called βασιλεια qa-si-rwi-ja
(Notice that -qa- is similar to aga-memnon achaians achamenides sach saxon etc, but in Greek sometimes goes from g->b (or v?) compare gw*)
there were 2 smaller military degrees ko-re-te pro-ko-re-te possibly village or a small guard, or caravan compagnions
the land owner were 2 kind,
the big land owners who own land and small villages and were forced to pay tribute and support with a lesser army the Anax
they were the τελεσται teleste te-re-te (re->le)
and the ones who were supervising anax land or had smaller land the Μοιροππαι (moroppa)
(there are 2 kind of moira a. the small piece of land, the 'fate' of poverty b. mora the known spartan youth military training teams like ΙΛΑ)
the mercenairies were called ke-se-no Ξενοι (in modern Gr means foreigners)
Now something strange
in modern Greek is επιβατες epibate epivate (passenger)
and ιπποτες ippotes the cavalry
in mycenean seems to was e-qe-ta epetes επετες,
they were the kings champions, they drive the charriot of the king, the fight for him, they carry his messages with angels αγγελοι, and sometimes they spy for him
they were mounted on chariot most of time, and kings most trusted men,
military units
in labels we find the word o-ka ορχα ορχος,
they were military units from 10 to 110 men
3) Q->P change
as we see we have 2 changes
one is the re -> le, la
second is the -qa-
-qa- goes to pe in Arcado-Cypriot and ba (or va) in very Archaic Greek
and although still the horse is ικκος, ikkos<->iqqos the rider/passenger is epetas
But in Latin the same should give from equus, but not, since in Latin is equites
qasireu ->pasileu->basileu or vasileu
so by that we understand that Q->P change was done before 900 BC,
soon about Homeric and other Greek
