Yes Mule, you're right, creating a highway is a far greater achievement for a culture than creating mathematics, or a written language.

Oh, and agriculture? How could I miss that!! Yeah, that modern design of watering crops and stuff...

Finally, "person freedom"? What is that? Sounds like something that hasn't existed for...well, probably millenia. Oh...I guess not, since apparently the ancient cultures didn't have personal freedom
