7. China
Just as Greece is featured here on the list of countries that have invented the most things in all human history as a courtesy of their many ancient inventions that helped found our entire western civilization, China has worked miracles for Eastern development. Most of these creations eventually spread across the globe, modifying the rest of the world in the most incredible ways. Tell me if any of these sound familiar:
Paper, Movable Type Printing, Gunpowder, Compass, Alcohol, Mechanical Clock, Tea Production, Silk, Umbrella, Acupuncture, Iron smelting, Porcelain, Earthquake Detector, Rocket, Bronze, The Kite, The Seed Drill, Row Crop Farming, Toothbrush, Paper Money, Animal Zodiac, Dominoes, ephedrine, exploding cannonballs, fireworks, incense, magic mirrors, nail polish, natural gas fuel, restaurant menus, tofu, toilet paper.
