oriental, I have moved your posts with links to movies into a separate, locked thread. If you post links to movies in this thread in the future, it will be considered a disruptive behaviour.

My first thought was the number 0 too. It turned out that 0 to be such an important thing. Indians claim that they new a lot of math when west did not know. I have heard that they were writting math in verses. I don't know what kind of math was that. But I know that the only person of antiquity that new what was doing in math was Euclides. He introduced proof based math that revolutionized science. Indians are helping the west with workforce thuogh.

Ok, but that knowledge was lost over time and modern flush toilets were not inspired by the Harappa model. Therefore it was not contribution to the world.

Okay, fair enough.
