What about the Minoan Civilisation ?They were part of the Bronze Age, the Aegean civilization, ages before the Dorians settled in Ancient Greece.Could they be considered as pre-Greek people (cfr. Indo-European invasions as a cause of the Bronze Age Collapse) ?
Yes, I think the Minoan are special. However, I would go with Sumer. It seems Sumer influenced all the others. At least 5 biblical stories are Hebrew translations of Sumerian stories. Did any civilization have writing before Sumer?
I think you’re right about Sumer being near the top of this list. Apart from the Hebrews, the Sumerians played a significant role in the development of Western Civilization. And yes, writing was developed in Sumer.
