So after playing Age of Empires II (again), I was wondering, out of those three Ancient/Medieval civilizations (Western, Middle-Eastern, and Far-Eastern), which one that have given largest contributions to humankind as a whole, in the terms of inventions, discoveries, etc?

Western: Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Medieval Europeans.
