>The RAF was the first independent Air Force
No one cares about "independent"
France invented the concept of air force to begin with
>The first aviation force in the world was the Aviation Militaire of the French Army formed in 1910, which eventually became L'Armée de l'Air.

>a German invented the first automobile.
Wrong
Germans invented the first mass produced automobiles
But the real first one was a unique piece by a French inventor in the 18th century

I don't mean to be a bummer, but didn't Alexander Fleming invent antibiotics?

-The Code of Ur-Nammu and the code of Hammurabi(First written laws)
-First to urbanise
-First to use the wheel(maybe even invent it)
-First to use the sail boat
-Came up with the 360 degrees we use in geometry
-Came up with the measurements for time
-everything in the library of Baghdad(to many to name)
-first to use numbers, and event the concept of zero(although it was just a space or dot, the Indians invented the number for zero)
-first to practise in proper economics, utilising the sail boat to help
-first to practise in advanced maths
-first to use soap
-Baghdad battery(first battery known to man, pretty interesting stuff you should read)
-Invention of the plow, leading to the invention of irrigation and better agriculture.

-also first to create beer

That's big

One important person from the Baghdad house of wisdom was al-Khwarizmi, the father of modern algebra and algorithms, also the father of modern surgery, Al-Zahrawi

hmm?

And also islam, which negates everything listed there because of its huge negative influence on mankind

I mean that's alot of important shit right there.
But it got nothin on the guy who invented flushing toilet: John Harington

>first to use numbers

The first evidebce of numbers being used is in some Paleolithic objects from Africa
>first to practice advanced math
I’m pretty sure that Egypt got around to it at the same time
>Baghdad battery
A hoax
>beer
Invented independendly all over the old world, present in Europe since the neolithic
>sails and urbanization
Invented independently all theoughout the world

these are all french inventions since they were invented by the franco-norman elite in england

-The age of exploration

thanks mauritania

Thanks Greece

Fucking pooles. I can live easily without that shit.

don't really know how i might quantify our achievements since we've been part of a larger empire like carthage rome the caliphates and france etc for most of our history
but i guess some stuff i can think of off the top of my head from people that were born and lived in the area around tunis or of tunisian descent are the social cycle theory some early advancements in optics some detailed maps of the islamic world from mali to delhi to the crimea and some advancements in canons and wind sailing during the golden age of Berber piracy a bit of philosophy in abbasid and hafissid times and some historical works when interest in ancient carthage peaked during ottoman times
don't know much about contemporary scientists but there is a number of mostly french and European scientists/novelists (and some burgers of tunisian descent) like maurice taieb and Hedi bouraoui but it's up tou you if you want to count them really but it's up to you if you really want to count them

if you know some stuff that i might have missed feel free to tell me

First to use numbers in terms of maths, economics and time. infact there is even evidence that the Sumerians invented the Pythagorean triples in 1800 bc, see >en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plimpton_322. in terms of Egypt, i've no idea if they were on the same level because i haven't looked into it, i'd be happy if someone would tell me if they were the same though. As for:
>>sails and urbanization
>beer
thats why i said first, i know it was developed independently around the world, but Sumerians were the first, which i consider an achievement by them.
and for >Baghdad battery, what do you mean it was a hoax?

The fuck...?
