No they don’t. My point was we don’t actually know what the minoans believed. If it’s not written down it’s doomed.

If essential use was made of the written work even in part, your assertion that written works are not important is nullified.

If you don't know what they believed, then how would you know whether it lived on under a different name, or not?
