4. How did contact with the Minoans make the Mycenaeans different from other semi-barbaric cultures? Plz help

They adapted to Minoan culture, economic system, and bureaucracy.

Explanation:

According to historical context, the Mycenaean people, who around the time of 1420–1375 BCE succeeded the Minoans in the earliest civilization of Europe, were believed to take an approach different from other semi-barbaric people.

The Mycenaean in their attempt to conquer the Minoan, rather than fighting their host to conquer them (Minoans), instead adopted their ways of life. This includes adapting to their socio-cultural aspects such as culture, religion, art, economic system, and bureaucracy.
