Detailed explanation-1: -After invading Crete in 1500 B.C, the Mycenaeans adopted Minoan culture. The Mycenaeans copied Minoan art, architecture, religion, writing, trade, metalworking, and shipbuilding. Elements of Minoan and Mycenaean culture became part of the foundation of Greek civilization.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wide-ranging commerce circulated Mycenaean goods throughout the Mediterranean world from Spain and the Levant. The evidence consists primarily of vases, but their contents (oil, wine, and other commodities) were probably the chief objects of trade.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Minoans grew wealthy through trade across the Mediterranean. One of the Minoans’ strengths was that they were expert sailors. Their well-built ships carried olive oil, wine, cloth, pottery, and metalwork to Greece, Egypt, Cyprus, and Spain.
