No that was the Babylonians. This is why history is good despite what so many stupid people say. Know history, less it repeat itself.

So? Taking said technology from a different source isnt the same as being advanced.

Look at the Middle ages. Egypt and other Arab countries actually adopted technology developed in Europe, such as Matchlock and later Flintlock muskets.

The Ottoman Empire actually employed a number of European cannon experts to design and build their cannons. The same cannons that felled the walls of Constantinople.

While the Middle East was more advanced than Europe for a long time, it was more so in planning, academic sciences (astronomy being a big one) and kim jongistrative systems than just technology. The Middle East had its shit together at this point.
