  History of Crete - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crete was occupied down to the 15th century BCE by people who did not speak Greek, for evidence of their written language (Linear A) survives, and though it has not been deciphered, it is not Greek.
In 88 BCE Mithridates VI of Pontus on the Black Sea, went to war to halt the advance of Roman hegemony in the Aegean.
During the 17th century, Venice was pushed out of Crete by the Ottoman Empire, with most of the island lost after the siege of Candia (1648–1669), possibly the longest siege in history.

By the ninth century it received the distinction, along with the Tyrian dialect, ofbecoming the medium of monumental inscriptions of local rulers (Kilamuwa of Samal [Zengirli] and Azitawada in Cilicia).
The script of that era as it survives in archaeological contexts is quite different from the Hebrew script appearing in the earliest examles we have of the Pentateuch from the 3rd/2nd centuries BCE (found in association with the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran and vicinity).
The 16th/15th century BCE utilized 27 consonants, which by the 13th/12th century had been reduced to 22, and it is _only 22 consonants_ that appear in the Pentateuch.

We are informed by some Conservative scholars that 1 Kings 6:1 suggests that the Exodus occurred approximately 1446 BCE, providing a "historical marker" that the narrator understands that Zo'an and Hebron "predate" the Exodus of the mid 15th century BCE.
Scholars have determined that the earliest mention of Zo'an in Egyptian records is of the 13th century BCE, and that it appears again as a minor provincial town in the 12th century.

The remains unearthed at Lefkandi are dated around the 10th century BCE, in the midst of the Dark Age of Greece.
Placed between the 12th and 8th centuries BCE, the Dark Age is an essentially blank time between two flourishing eras--the Mycenaean and the Ionian (also called Helladic and Hellenic).
Mycenaean pottery and "Geometric" style pottery from the 8th century are also found together in some cases, which does not prove there no time passed between their creations, but it does make an extremely long period between seem strange.

The archaeological evidence does not support the notion of a Conquest of Canaan in the 16th or 15th century BCE by Israelites as portrayed in the book of Joshua.
1446 or 1220 BCE would suggest a period of time would have had to have elapsed of 100-200 years such that the national memory would forget when they had come into existence and there would be no objections to this historical anomaly.
