The Etruscans.
Generally considered neolithic has three basic characteristics: began to manufacture and use of grinding stone; Invented the pottery; The agriculture and livestock farming.
The Romans and Greeks started mythology. So you forget that the Egyptians had mythology almost 2000 years before the Romans and almost 1000 years before the Greeks? It is difficult to know which civilization had the first mythology as many civilisations overlapped each other and borrowed ideas from each other with their own twist on the stories. Maybe the first civilization to have some basic mythology would be the Sumarians which is one of the very first civilisations to develop in the Euphrates/Tigris river valley.
Countless contributions were made by the ancient Greeks that western civilization benefits from today. These include philosophies (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle), ideas, political systems (democracy), the English alphabet, and numerous other objects that we use today.
A rough estimate would suggest 10,000 to 13,000 BCE as the beginning or dawning of civilized Egypt, with small examples of seed gathering, basic farming technologies and ritualistic burials. These were not developed until much later, and reliable records date back only to around 3200 BC.
