I suggest one looks at the very antique Vincan culture, from surroundings above the Black Sea and predecessor to a o the Egyptians. They had beautiful pottery to prove advancement and apparently ancestors of the later much spreading Sea Peoples, but seem to not have taken any foremost place in history.
