Alas I see you added gunpowder..well to bad they didnt figure out what to do with it other than make fire works



Personally i think fireworks are a somewhat better use for gunpowder than killing people but hey, thats just me.

This is one of the oldest civilizations around today, so they had the early leg up, but they invented/discovered many things and of course, gunpowder.
