    Much of what the Greeks claim as their own came from Egypt. Including most of the math.

    That's strange, I always thought that Euclid, Archimedes, Pythagoras and Heron were Greek? I can't think of one Egyptian mathematician.

    Greeks did add important concepts like democracy and individualism, as well as many philosophical additions.

    The basis for our ways of thought and our politics comes from the Greeks. Are the Greeks the cradle of civilization? No. But they were the cradle of western civilization.

    Yes, I would agree the Greeks are the cradle of western civilization. The quote I had said was wrong was someone saying the Greeks "Invented civilization" which is wrong on many levels :)

    LOL, the Egyptians were not vain enough to put their name on concepts, which the Greeks eventually took from them. For example, the "Pythagorean therm" was being used in Egypt for centuries in before Pythagoras put his name on it.

    Pythagoras most defiantly learned math in Egypt. IIRC stole/invented Pythagoran formula while studying there
