    our technology expanded exponentialy when we were waging wars, and our technology remained constant and decadent when a certain human civilization was on stagnation ... therefore, the most important invention-realisation is the means to defend and to fight through 6,000 years of recorded human history... all these nice lists that people are making comes from that IMO ... all this tech that we have today comes from 5-6,000 years of warfare, the rivallery between various groups or nations, the exctintion of the weak and the rise of the stronger

          Neat trick, but try doing it on a "civilized" scale without a calendar ;) .

            Parihaka,

            There is a little bit more to it than that, methinks.

            No amount of language a civilization makes without a calendar.

                Subba there is no evidence that the pyramids were built by "slave labour" the workforce had their own village, were paid,fed very well and even went on strike when their pay was late.

                    Dave sir, i think you may be right. I googled 'pyramids and slave labour'. Plenty sites including wikipedia talking about some revisions in conventional thinking that assumed slave labor.

                      mankind has not the ability of creating,just can convert the datas and informations into knowledge and wisdom.simply, makes sth occur.but this cant be named as creating.creating sounds like making sth exist.
                      as an invention,not the greatest but the remarkable ones r; ability and every kind of technology of communication ,abacus,money:)

                          Correct. Those highly trained masons were the best of the best of their time.

                            That's where she parks her car. What you really need is a shed. She has no reason to EVER come to a shed.
