Question

Name two things the Mycenaeans learned from the Minoans.

Answer 1

They learned how to navigate using the sun and stars. They also copied the way they built ships. One other thing is that they imiced their customs and religion.

Answer 2

The Mycenaean Civilization was the civilization that developed after the dominion of the Island of Crete and the end of the Minoan civilization. Its main center was Mycenae, which influenced the Mediterranean, formed by an aristocracy turned to war and prepared for combat.

These peoples developed on the basis of navigation, and mastered techniques for using the seas as a means of contact with other civilizations.

This close contact with the sea made the Mycenaean civilization - and also the Minoan that preceded it - develop fishing and use marine animals as food - as the Mediterranean gastronomy is known today, and to improve in navigation and trade outside from the sea.
