Ideas mean nothing until they are acted upon, implemented. So, as you so often are, you're just wrong.

I've studied the history of ideas, and they usually arise at the same time, had by many people. The people that get remembered are the ones that made something of them.

This has me somewhat believing in the collective unconscious.

"Do you think implementing sewer systems was more important that discovering bacteria caused illness and their necessity?"

Yes.

It is estimated that the first sewers of ancient Rome were built between 800 and 735 BC. Drainage systems evolved slowly, and began primarily as a means to drain marshes and storm runoff. The sewers were mainly for the removal of surface drainage and underground water.
