I never implied that culture is a measurement of civilization. That would be a ridiculous statement. Culture is, however, the result of civilization. The fact that in Greece there are many more buildings, texts, plays and other cultural elements which date back to over 2000 years ago, makes their culture different from areas where there are far fewer ancient influences on culture.

Wouldn't that be a measurement of civilization? (With this thinking you could argue that natives of certain areas lacked culture until someone occupied that area and made it 'civilized', which is wrong)
To be frank, Greece is a location of great historical impact on the western world, there are many remains of former cultures there like the ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottoman. Modern day Greece have a claim on all of this.
