I think you'll find we looked to ancient Greece as the foundation of Western civilisation, but hey, you must read some weird history books...oh, and Harry Elmer Barnes (author of The History of Western Civilisation) was an American anti-Semite. Always happy to help.
In fact----in the standard texts-----Egypt and Sumeria are cited as-------the early foundation----then we move onto Greece----in the standard British version of the
history of western civilization------but those civilizations are represented almost
as a "fairy tale"------something like "way back in the era of myths" ------no matter
that an American wrote a history------he still writes from the POV---of british "historians" Try looking into a standard high school history text------cups of tea
all but fall out of the book when you open it. Real "modern" history----is presented
as BEGINNING IN ROME------(remember? "ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME").
As I said, you must read some weird history books.
