Egypt is older than sumer, by the time Egypt had its first dynasty, upper and lower Egypt were fighting for centuries.

This dates Egyptian civilisation back to the 4th Millennium, there is not a shred of evidence showing Sumer being older than Egypt.

The only reason half educated people think it is is because Sumerians had a mythical king list that stretch back to 130,000 BC with kings reigning for 30,000 years.

>Athens

Who cares senpai? Athens was relatively late to the scene. Originally it was the Minoans from Crete, who are thought to be largely influenced by the Egyptians (most advanced civilization in 3000-2500 BC, very close by). Then it was the Mycenaeans. Athens sort of inherited everything afterwards. Then Romans picked it up from them and Alexander. This is how western civilization always propagated itself, at least get the sequence somewhat right lad.

Yeah people didn't just go *poof and there they are* but evidence alone that there were people in Egypt well before the Sumerians doesn't say anything....

Here people in Europe also around that period...

Geoffrey Sampson believes that most scholars hold that Egyptian hieroglyphs "came into existence a little after Sumerian script, and ... probably [were] invented under the influence of the latter ..."[19] This view, however, is strongly contested by other scholars. Dreyer's findings at Tomb UJ at Abydos in Upper Egypt clearly show place names written in hieroglyphs (up to four in number) recognizable as signs which persisted and were employed during later periods and which are written and read phonetically. The tomb is dated to c.3250 BC and demonstrates that such writing (on bone and ivory labels) is a more advanced form of writing than was evident in Sumer at that date. It is argued, therefore, that the Egyptian writing system, which is in any case very different from the Mesopotamian, could not have been the result of influence from a less developed system existing at that date in the latter location.[20]

>The gorges in Ardeche contain numerous caverns, many of which possess petroglyphs and other artifacts of archeological and geological significance. But Chauvet Cave is unusually big and was inhabited by prehistoric humans during two distinct periods: the Aurignacian (c.40,000-26,000 BCE) and the Gravettian (26,000-20,000 BCE): that is, firstly about 31,000-29,000 BCE, and later about 26,000 BCE, after which the cave was sealed by a landslide.

Chauvet was never inhabited. You can't live in a cave, it's cold, wet, full of animals and whenever it's raining you can drown.

Chauvet isn't full of human tools, though they find some, which are necessary for painting.
When it comes to animal bones, they were for the most part most likely brought by bears

But back to the claim that Greek culture origiates from Egypt. I find it more likely they were influenced by the Hittites which were an Indo-Europeans well i'm just guessing that cuse they were kinda close, but god knows what happened to those, even Fenicians are closer to the Greekish cultures.
