Who invented or developed these first

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. Chinese paper and compass, Ancient Egyptians calendar, glass, and water clock. Lydians coined money, Ancient Greeks tried democracy, Romans poured concrete and built roads. Ancient Chinese seismograph, Ancient Indians zero, chess, and surgical tools. Persians ran a postal system, Assyrians opened a library. #InfoEditorials
