	Ancient Egyptian Language
		From the fourth century BC onwards, Demotic held a higher status, as may be seen from its increasing use for literary and religious texts.
		By the end of the third century BC, Greek was more important as it was the administrative language of the country; Demotic contracts lost most of their legal force unless there was a note in Greek of being registered with the authorities.
		Middle Egyptian was spoken from about 2000 BC for a further 700 years when Late Egyptian made its appearance; Middle Egyptian did, however, survive until the first few centuries AD as a written language, similar to the use of Latin during the Middle Ages and that of Classical Arabic today.

	Minoan Pottery - Art History - KinderArt
		Around the year 1500 BC (there seems to be conflicting evidence as to the absolute correctness of this date, however, 1500 BC appears to be the most accepted to date) Knossos and many of the other centers of Minoan society appear to have been simultaneously overwhelmed.
		Around 1450 BC, the Myceneans came to Crete and took over the administration of the island, rebuilding the palaces and playing an active role in what was left of Minoan life.
		During the years following the great disaster of 1500 BC and the takeover of 1450 BC, although Minoan social, religious and artistic patterns seem to have been broken up, the arts and crafts of these people did not completely disappear (they were just altered slightly and added to by the Myceneans).
