Sub-Saharan Africans didn't. Acknowledging that fact doesn't make you "racist"

Beer. I know there's a bit of a debate about whether the Chinese were first, regardless they pretty much came up with it on their own

They made no contributions to math, other than possibly calculating the area and volume of their pyramids.
yep the only math they used in building pyramids was length time width times height.

Ancient Egyptian architecture inspired much of the greco-roman styles to come later

Rome would later import building materials from Egypt

Egypt also was one of the first civilizations to build ships using planked wood doing so as early as 3000BC.

I would also like to correct you. Beer wasnt really invented as much as it was discovered.

I think some folks claim they are amongst the first to craft beer. If thats correct, I would say they did plenty!

Sounds like you are looking for some cherry-picked info to support your confirmation bias.
Should have paid attention in world history, dummy.

Just curious, but I thought the Chinese claimed to be the inventors of paper?
