I know I posted a similar thread before, but it was too vague and it's been awhile.

Can mankind, without ASB help, reach the same technology levels of the 20th century to early 21st? Using the following list of POD to end date, which would most likely work?

5000 BCE - 1000 BCE
4000 BCE - 500 BCE
3000 BCE - 1 CE
2000 BCE - 500 CE
1000 BCE - 1000 CE
1 CE - 1500 CE

Aside from technology, how much would you have to change for it to be similar to 21st century civilization in terms of morals and ethics? Do those things come with the technology?

Which societies are most likely to pull it off? Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks, Romans, Persians? Anyone else? A new one that didn't exist OTL? Can they keep it to themselves and use it to dominate the world, or is it likely to spread globally as OTL?

If it looks promising I may attempt a TL once I have more time to spare.
