Detailed explanation-1: -An analysis of ancient DNA has revealed that Ancient Minoans and Mycenaens were genetically similar with both peoples descending from early Neolithic farmers. They likely migrated from Anatolia to Greece and Crete thousands of years prior to the Bronze Age.
Detailed explanation-2: -Both civilizations are famous for building complex palaces, and archaeological evidence confirms that they were administrative, residential and religious centers. Again, Mycenaeans borrowed many architectural features from Minoans but adapted them to fit their society’s beliefs and demands.
Detailed explanation-3: -The primary ancestors of both the Minoans and Mycenaeans were populations from Neolithic Western Anatolia and Greece and the two groups were very closely related to each other, and to modern Greeks. The Minoans and Mycenaeans occupy an important place in Greek, and European, history.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Mycenaeans traded with the Minoans. Through trade the Mycenaeans learned a lot about how the Minoans lived. They copied many things from Minoan culture. These actions led historians to believe that the Mycenaeans conquered Crete and destroyed the Minoans.
