What is the greatest invention of all times?

[franksterr]

This is a question that ask your opinion, and as such there is no really right or wrong answer...
To aid us in understanding your claim provide a few supporting ideas as to why you think this or that is the single most important invention.
But we can gauge its accuracy by its usefulness and how much we rely on it as a civilization.
Lastly do not confuse innovation with invention

My guess is one first made and used by the Egyptians, though some historians cite two close competitors.

YES Jah yout writing it is....in my opinion

The earliest known forms of writting is Egyptian, though since Diop prove that Egypt is Afrikan the have challenge this assertion with Sumeria(Akkad/Babylon)and China, they also once said Indias dravidan writing were as old but scrap that when the realized these Indians considered themselve descendants of Ethiopia(Hindu-kush) Indus valley civilization(Harrapan-Mohenjodaro)

All our present inventiness and inventions owes a lot to writing as a way of transmitting, storing and sharing our knowledge

writing probably greater because it records language and events in ways that we would have missed if it was based on oral history alone;

like the dead sea scrolls and the tablet of narmer...
without these recordings much history would have been lost and oral accounts would have been inconclusive..

even recording by sound or images is an extension of the writing principle...it
