America and Western Europe did not form in a vacuum...they stood on the shoulders of giants that came before them.
Cultures that INVENTED education, charity, mathematics, language, government, societies, cities, trades, jobs, the processing of raw materials for building...
The modern Western culture simply took those things, which OTHER, possible GREATER cultures created, and used them for their own advancement.
Do I really need to give you a listing of some of those other cultures, or can you figure them out yourself?
