Minoan Civilization, primarily centered on the island of Crete, was influenced by various cultures, notably the Cycladic civilization and the cultures of the Near East, including Egypt and Mesopotamia. Trade and contact with these regions facilitated the exchange of ideas, art, and technology, evident in Minoan frescoes, pottery, and religious practices. Additionally, the Mycenaean civilization, which later emerged on the Greek mainland, was also shaped by Minoan culture, further blending these influences in the Aegean region.

The most important factor that created changes in the Minoan civilization was its extensive trade network across the Mediterranean. This trade facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultural practices, leading to advancements in art, architecture, and technology. Additionally, interactions with other cultures, particularly the Egyptians and Near Eastern societies, enriched Minoan society and contributed to its complexity and eventual decline due to external pressures and invasions.
The Minoans believed in afterlife and that gods are less important than goddess. In the other hand there was no record in the Mycenaean cultures that there was any god or goddess.

One common misconception about the Minoan civilization is that it was a homogeneous society with a singular culture. In reality, while the Minoans shared certain cultural traits, there was significant diversity within their society, including variations in art, architecture, and religious practices across different regions of Crete. Additionally, the Minoans were heavily influenced by trade with other civilizations, which further contributed to their cultural complexity.

Media facilitates a culture's transmission to other cultures and vice versa. i.e. Every culture is influenced by other cultures around them, but with medias like internet, cultures are influenced by all the other cultures of the world.
One theory that attempts to explain why the Minoan civilization disappeared was because of the Persian wars. A volcanic eruption and famine were two other theories that attempted to explain the disappearance.

The Mycenaeans drew their art styles largely from the Minoans, an earlier civilization based on the island of Crete. They adopted Minoan techniques, motifs, and themes, incorporating them into their own artistic expressions. Additionally, they were influenced by other neighboring cultures, including those from the Near East, which helped shape their unique artistic identity. This blending of styles is evident in Mycenaean pottery, frescoes, and metalwork.
