The Minoan culture had a long and interesting history that lasted nearly 5000 years, from approximately 6000 BCE to 1000 BCE, but for the purpuse of this report I am going to stick to from where they became a major force in the world to when their control and influence faded.

 Mesopotamia by Night: Roleplaying in 1700 BCE
Mesopotamia 1700 BCE is originally meant as a starting point for a time-spanning chronicle for powerful vampiric elders (or at least the PCs are going to be that if they survive).
But first, a note about chronology: the date of 1700 BCE is by no means as fixed in historical research as it might appear to be.

Should it be before 1300 BCE (prior to Akhenaten) then Zoroaster would be the earliest monotheist known in any religion.
Taking a moderate estimate of his lifetime, of before or around 1000 BCE, he lived in a period of warfare when there was a great need for a more intellectual and less ritual-based religious culture.
The Achaemenid kings acknowledge their devotion to Ahura Mazda in inscriptions; however, they also participated in local religious rituals in Babylon and Egypt, and helped the Jews to return to Canaan, so apparently no attempt was made to enforce religious orthodoxy on their subjects.

 Egyptian Symbols to Phoenician Alphabet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Originally it was thought that at around 1700 BCE, Sinai was conquered by Egypt, and the local West-Semitic population was influenced by Egyptian culture and adopted a small number of hieroglyphic signs (about 30) to write their own language.
Inscriptions dating to 1900 BCE written in what appears to be Proto-Sinaitic were found in Upper Egypt, and nearby Egyptian texts speak of the presence of Semitic-speaking people living in Egypt.
The Proto-Sinaitic alphabet moved north and the Phoenicians eventually adapted it by 1100 BCE.

The significance of this event is that the Israelites did not believe, up to that time, in a single god: rather, they promised, in the covenant, that they would ignore all other deities and worship him alone.
The final text of Exodus, edited in the 5th century BCE depicts how God is supposed to have made a covenant with Moses on Mount Sinai (an event which is supposed to have happened around 1200 BCE)
The Israelites were very reluctant to pass up the chance to worship other gods, since it seemed foolish to ignore other potential sources of mana (the life force).
