Some of the others on the list were credited for things they really didn't do.

Movable type existed before Gutenberg for one..

An iron printing press was first invented by Chae Yun-eui (채윤의) in 1234, 216 years ahead of Gutenberg's feat in 1450.[1],and the first movable type by chinese Bi Sheng between 1041 to 1048 in the world. He does clarify the Galileo accurately described heliocentricity and Copernicus but Aristotle first described it.

Euclid described mathematical principles that were in use. What he really did was systemize them. The Egyptians were using many of his concepts already in building. It's no surprise that he worked out of Alexandria, Egypt.

There are others..
