URiel said<<<Greek civilization was really spawned by contact with Egypt's civilization; ancient Greek statuary shows that correllation perfectly. And let's not forget the Phoenicians, from whose alphabet the Latin one was originally derived.... <<<<
permit me to disagree strongly, first latin laphabet derived from etruscan one, derived from greek thaqt derived it from phoenician one, secondly greek culture has really nothing to do with egyptian one, statuary is completely different, take a look at classical doriphoros by a grat greek artist and egyptian satuary, the real contct between eastern civlitation and greek\western one was during the hellenic period, and eastern culture was inglobed by greek one.
