About the Mongols, you are right, of course, but only the Great Khanate, which was mainly a Chinese empire, mattered much, and it lasted little more than a century or so, so I didn't think to make much of the rest.

I mentioned the Roman originality in engineering, actually.

I don't think I said that they "only" invented algebra, I think I was just vague about the rest. But if I were unfair to them, I apologize.

Rome contributed a lot to civilization, mostly, it is true, by synthesis and popularization, but also in the realm of art, architecture, civil administration, engineering, public works, and law. ....
....The Arabs also mainly took over the Byzantine Empire, but they contributed to learning, and invented algebra......
