In the past technological developments compounded very slowly, yet somehow the Sumerians invented dozens of incredibly important things. Or they just take credit for it.
If I remember correctly there's evidence of copper smelting in Serbia and Northern Turkey around 5000 BCE. Combine that with the fact that the most convenient locations for starting civilizations would've been near seas which have now risen substantially, there's every reason to believe there are a whole lot of civilizations simply lost to the record for good. Great read.
