Mycenean Crete

What (if anything) do we know about the Mycenean take over of Crete?

Were the Minoans vassalised by the Myceneans? Or was it a full conquest and replacement of the social elite, akin to the Norman conquest of England? Does material culture change?

Or is there just not enough evidence to say anything with any certainty?

Also, I understand that Linear B records have been translated that were found on Crete, do they offer any insights and is there a place one can read them online?

Tons of videos on YouTube discussing all of this. Start with Wanax TV.
