Let's put the cat amongst the pigeons then!

The by far and away most important technological innovation to come from Germany, was the development of movable letter printing and the invention of a new printing press by Johann Gutenberg (1398-1468), thus enabling the mass production of books and breaking the information monopoly of the Catholic Church.

What about the Glaswegian Fish&Chip Shop owner, Robbie McFadden, who invented the deep-fried Mars bar.
One shouldn't forget his contribution to civilisation.

The first windmills were developed to automate the tasks of grain-grinding and water-pumping and the earliest-known design is the vertical axis system developed in Persia about 500-900 A.D. The first use was apparently water pumping, but the exact method of water transport is not known because no drawings or designs -- only verbal accounts -- are available. The first known documented design is also of a Persian windmill, this one with vertical sails made of bundles of reeds or wood which were attached to the central vertical shaft by horizontal struts (see Figure 1a). A 19th Century American approximation of this panemone device is shown at the left (Figure 1b).

Wind driven.

More Iranian inventions:

Folded steel (not sure about this one so, whomever, feel free to correct me - it was certainly proliferated West through Iran at the least as Islamic records show).

Cable Modem

Electricity generation from sound:

LONDON, August 5 (IranMania) - An Iranian PhD candidate at the Pasadena-based Caltech University has designed a system for electricity generation from sound waves.

Ibn Sina - too long to list - all sorts of medical contributions which were still the main point of reference until deep into the 19th century in the West.

Folded Steel comes from China, it may have travelled to Europe via Iran, but I've never heard of Iranians using it. I believe they got something much better India.

OK, thanks, the Islamic Armies proliferated it as far as Spain [from Iran] where it reached the rest of Europe.

China would explain Iran's possession of it (silk road etc).

If they ever had it I think you would be looking at the Persian Empire or the Sassanids, by Islamic times it was virtually obsolete.

First common coinage in history - Darius the Great

Wrong. Lydians, our ancestors were the ones who invented monatery and money (the first sekkah).

Hittites- The first written Peace Treaty after a War, The Treaty of Kadesh

The first usage of copper, bronze and iron was by Anatolians.

Also the modern military systems are found by MaoDun, the Turkic Hunnic leader, who is said to be Oguz Khagan.

Yoghurt- Altough not very scientific, A Turkic food, contributers to the world are Oguz and Bulgars (both Turkic).

Pox Vaccine- The formula of pox vaccine was found by an Ottoman.

El Khwarezmi- He build the principles of modern computer science, with his arithmetic works.

Ulugh Begh (Turgay)- Grandson of Timur, founder of the world's first meteorological observation station.

Also Mimar Sinan- an Armenian Ottoman, was the one who created the current dome style in Turkish mosques. Altough they are very simiar with Eastern Roman domes, it has its own unique style and it can reach huge weights.

Let's be fair here, it takes two to make a treaty. The Egyptians deserve half the credit.
