In mathematics, Zero and Infinity were concepts invented in India. Algebra was invented in Persia. Many accomplishments have been made by American's as well. There are loads, if you use google.

i went through some stuff ages ago..memory bit fuzzy but a lot of inventions that were claimed as european inventions were actually from other countries. when the eu scholars, scientists, etc would travel about they'd pick these ideas and get all the credit for someone else's work. anyway i don't remember the exact names just look it up!

Oh God here goes the list.

Stirrups were invented by the Chinese/Mongols (can't actually remember which), had a HUGE impact on warfare.
Algebra was INVENTED by a certain guy in the Arabic world.
Fireworks and gunpowder was invented by an unknown Chinese guy.
Much of our musical instruments, whereever you are, came largely from the Arabic world where an anonymous person thought of.
The first use of paper money was thought up by a Chinese guy.
The development of the astrolabe, seismograph etc. were all done by misc. Chinese dudes.

The sad thing (both to society and the presumed outcome of this thread) is that these geniuses go down history unnamed.

In conclusion.
The East laid down the foundations, the West built upon it.
That is no to say that any particular civilization, Occidental or Oriental, is better than the other but humanity worked as a complete body in bringing us this current world.

Don't bump old threads, thanks
