Hi Rockessence,

Well, of course there is no direct evdence because Minos (like Theseus) was a mythological king, not a real one.  The reason why the residents of Crete are called "the Minoans" is cause the bull leaping frescoes, the fact that they were an advanced civilization and they are close to Greece. It's a "circumstantial" connection.  I don't see how the evidence is any stronger in the Pomeranian region! 

This differs from Troy, of course, which was a real place, whereas the Trojan War (since there is no actual evidence for the Trojan War of the Illiad) it is still considered to be a myth - for the time being, at least.

I have actually read a lot of what has been posted by Felice Vinci, I try and have an open mind so my opinion would be that more evidence is needed to support his conclusions.
