Minoan vs Mycenean

The Minoans and Mycenaeans had many things in common. Mycenae was founded 300 years after the Minoans, and that is not a lot of time.

Both civilizations had many similar technologies and had similar knowledge, they both had similar water management, they both used drain pipes, bathrooms, bath tubs and toilets.

The Minoans did not worry about security though, which means that they were calm and peaceful, while the mycenaeans had large fortresses, and many types of security.

I think that the 2 major aspects of both civilizations survived, war and peace, which are sort of conflict in our day too, which is what i find interesting, there always seemed to be one side praising peace and another war. Thousands of years later, it seems peace and calm is slowly taking control. I believe that peace is the biggest aspect that lived on.
