Language of the Minoans. Was it Indo-European

I am writing a research paper that is discussing the possible origin
of the language of the Minoan civilization. The Minoans were a pre-
historic civilization that lived on the island of Crete. They
heavily influenced the civilization (Mycenaeans, in mainland Greece)
that ended up heavily influencing and partly becoming what is now
considered Ancient Greece. In the 50s, Michael Ventris found that
the Mycenaean language was in fact a precursor for Ancient Greek. My
question is did the Minoan language have any influence on the
Mycenaean?
I am inclined to doubt that they had a serious influence on the
language as the Mycenaeans, as the Mycenaeans had a very different
character than the Minoans (i.e. much more warlike) and probably had
a well developed language.
Arugments that support an influence would be that the Mycenaean
writing system was based off of the untranslated Minoan writing
system. Also, the frequent appearance of Semitic names in some of
the Minoan language that is translated. (These parts are translated
by moving backwards from Mycenaean and assuming that symbols kept
their sounds)
I just want to hear what you all think. Toss some ideas around, I
will let you know how the paper goes and can even post it here if
anyone would be interested.

Thanks a lot!
