Yeah, well done. You can clearly use Google. Perhaps you could name same Middle Eastern inventions from the last century?

ISIS.

How many Middle East universities are any good? Honestly, until 50 years ago the main industries in the Middle East were pearl harvesting and goat herding.... Name one invention discovered in the Middle East....

Just too prove your an idiot heres one

The powerVR graphics accelarator card was invented in 1996 by Iranian Hossian Yassaie.

Just one of many i could find.

Thanks google

Yeah, that's right. The "powerVR graphics accelerator card" is really a world changing invention 

 

When you look at world changing inventions it's amazing how many are British.... From the top of my head some British inventions are: steam engine, locomotive, jet engine, penicillin, TV, electric motor and Internet.... All these inventions have made a huge change to the world. I just can't think of many (any) world class inventions that came from non european people.... 

 

See this "Hossian Yassaie", he studied in the UK at Birmingham University and is a British citizen.... It reinforces what I've been saying that there are no decent Middle Eastern universities... It's why the Middle East needs highly skilled europeans (like myself) to work there......

Thankfully Iran are doing the decent thing and building universities in Syria now. That should improve things..........!

So nothing in the last thousand years then.... You're making my point for me, so thanks very much

 

I'd imagine most things on your list were developed by many different societies independently...
