The earlier phase is at least 4,000 BCE. However Mehr Garh and other prot-Indus sites in Western Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran go back even earlier and are about contemperory with Mesopotamians. Indeed there is evidence of trading with Mesopotamia etc.
I need to clarify that Indus Valley Civilization had a it's pivot the Indus river which like Nile in Egypt forms Pakistan main artery. Just like Egypt is often a target of Africans claiming it as a 'African' civilization mostly because of the name 'Africa' and this phenomenon is called Afrocentrism. In same way our inferiorty ridden neigbours the Indiansa claim our heritage as 'Indian' even if IVC sits in Pakistan.

Greece is not much younger. Look up Helladic culture, it started around 3200 bc.

Its interesting that all great cultures started around this time.
