See? That's not so hard, is it?

It's about to be. Since you classed us as a "lesser" culture, can you point to some achievements of some of the "Great ancient cultures" that would rival say, going to the moon, flight, modern medicine, modern agriculture, modern building, modern highways, atomic power, personal freedoms, justice? I could go on but I expect you to choke on just those.
While you're "yada"ing, give me 1 great achievement of the Ottomans, the Byzantines,Mesopotamians & early Arabs.
I'll be tapping my hoof.
