Arab mathematics were actually coming from India which they conquered and subjugated for centuries in ways the british could only dream of.German runes have been found in Denmark dating over 2500 years old, but Mayan temples in central America date over 3000 years, in many cases. With the Minoan alphabet known as Linear A dating back over 3500 years ago, going on to influence the proto-Greek alphabet, Linear B.
The mayans weren't that old, you're thinking of olmecs of which we unfortunately know far less. Mayans still deserve recognition for making their own writting system and inventing the number zero independently of the rest of the world which are things no european peoples ever managed to do, their writing systems being imported from the greeks and romans who got theirs from the phoenicians, and the phoenicians evolved that script from egyptian hieroglyphs.
Keep in mind there's a stark difference between minoan/mycenaean greek and the classical greeks we know now. The dorians for example weren't technically greek but invaders who took over during the bronze age collapse. The spartans were very clear on that even saying they knew their slaves (the helots) were the original inhabitants of sparta and they had to be kept under control if they wanted to keep that land.
Is this a joke?Does it mean that white people are genetically predisposed to make such mistakes?
