Ancient Hebrew

Here is the website that I found:

http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/index.html

The Ancient Hebrew alphabet 4,000 year old Inscription was found in the land of Israel and is composed of three letters written in the ancient pictographic Hebrew script. Some of the letter of the inscription is the aleph.

The Hebrew Bible (called the Tenack by Jews and the Old Testament by Christians) was originally written in this pictographic Hebrew script byHebrews whose language, culture and lifestyle were very different than our own in 2,500 to 3,500 years ago. The word rain is a good example of how culture can influence one's view of a word. Nowadays, the word "rain" means a spoiled picnic but to the ancient Hebrews, "rain" meant life, for without it their nomadic life would end. Without a cultural understanding of the words in the Bible, much is missed or overlooked.

Minoan Cretan Art

Here is the website that I found about Minoan Cretan art:

http://www.crete-holidays.net/cretan_art_eng.html

The Cretan art originate in the Minoan period in 2500 B.C. In the early Minoan period, the Cretan civilization got ahead of the near contries. The Cretan even traded the Cretan art for hundreds and hundreds of years. The excavations that we discovered show that life on Cretan was about 5000 years ago. It means that there was only alittle finding is related to relagions, and there aren't any temples or important religious monuments were exposed. Nowadays the influence of the Greek Orthodox Church is present in many ways. We think that maybe this was the reason that the Greeks are not the trade people as in the past. And the website has a travel of five days of Cretan art, and there are some beautiful art pictures there.
