Answer 1

minoan civilation:
As with the other ancients, over time the Minoans progressed to the point where they became master builders. One of their great achievements was the aqueducts that brought fresh water from the mountains to their capital "Knossos", which was many miles away. These aqueducts supplied the water for some of the worlds first "flush" toilets as well as other uses.

At the peak of Minoan civilization, paved roads and multistoried townhouses were prominent. Archaeological evidence suggests that Minoan society was remarkably peaceful: their towns had no fortifications.

mycenaean civilation:
The great achievements of the Mycenaean Civilisation, the palaces with their elaborate fresco decoration, the monumental fortified citadels and imposing tholos tombs, all show the power and wealth of the Mycenaean rulers. This wealth was derived from agriculture and craft production and the conduct of overseas trade. Notable works of art were produced in the Mycenaean workshops, such as fine pottery, luxurious metal, stone and faience vessels, jewellery and splendid ivory carvings. Many of these items were exported throughout the eastern Mediterranean - to Anatolia, Cyprus, the Levant, and Egypt.
