China and India invented math.

Arabs the modern numeral system--> 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

South America had aqueducts before the Romans. Actually, that's not true. The Romans had aqueducts in the first century AD. Peru didn't build theirs until 500 AD.

Western Europe just stole it all and claimed it for themselves because no one could prove they didn't at the time.

Now we can and we have.


You were saying?
And look at all they've produced since then. CENTURIES of total stagnation, pulled along only by the civilized cultures benevolently bringing our advances to them, and even then, only with mixed results.
