Minoans Vs. Mycanaeans

The Minoan civilization and Mycenaean civilization had many things that were alike. Mycenae was founded 300 years after the Minoan civilization was, and because of the fact 300 years is not a lot, they had many similarities, although the Mycenae was more advanced. For example, the water management. Both civilizations had drain pipes, and bathrooms, with bath tubs and flush able toilets! Although there were differences, the Minoans did not have any house security; door locks or bolts, since there were no theives or  wars. That means that Crete (home of the Minoans) was a very peaceful and calm place. Meanwhile, the Mycenaenas had big fortresses, bridges and walls, to protect themselves from war. 

In my opinion in even later Ancient Greece (Ancient Greece was there for VERY long,) the aspects that would have survived the break-through, would definitely be the cultural practices and the religious ways, since it was of course the people that practiced and owned it, and not that they were forced to or something, like in other cultures/religions. And the cultural styles would have also survived, because they were passed on by oral presentations.
