First to the punch on a lot of everyday stuff. Babylonians had maps and soap, Phoenicians gave us the alphabet, Sumerians were writing and plowing before most.

Ancient Chinese seismograph, Ancient Indians zero, chess, and surgical tools. Persians ran a postal system, Assyrians opened a library. #InfoEditorials
