Early greek civilizations (Cycladic, Minoan, Mycenean) were infuenced from Egypt mainly in regard of maritime technology and not so much in what we now regard as culture. Both mesopotamian and Greeks learned iron working from the Hittites (present day Turkey) around the 11th century B.C. and Greeks got the alphabet from the Phoinicians (present day Syria). Studies in seeds (plants) evolution show that agriculture started in Mesopotamia in the 9th millennium BC and from there to the southern Europe and beyond. Also pottery (with the use of the high speed pottery wheel) was most likely started in that region. Further more is believed that mesopotamian civs were the first to write laws (Hammurabi), and built roads (along with Hittites) as a government project (something that the Roman is creadited for).
