People tend to expose their prejudices and other biases when answering questions of this type.
Remember that we don't always know with certainty which culture invented a thing first.
Many cultures reinvented items that were invented earlier or at about the same time.
Numerous inventions are disputed. Here are some of the least controversial ones.
The Sumerians gave us time and angles. There are 60 seconds in a minute (not 10) and 60 minutes in an hour (not 10). A circle is 360 degrees (=60*60) (not 10*10) degrees. They gave us the first writing, the first types of laws, bread, biscuits and cakes, beer, bricks, the wheel, the chariot, the modern plough, the zodiac (of star constellations), sail boats and (probably also) glass.
Egyptians gave us pyramids and scary mummies. However they also invented wigs, the first locks, the first bellows, and the first large dam. They were very talented builders of monuments and they greatly advanced the skills of furniture-making, ship-building, jewellery-making and glass-making. In addition they made the first modern-style cosmetics.
Ancient Indians (Indus valley) offered us advances in mathematics, astrology, literature, medicine, dance and food technologies. They developed several irrigation and drainage systems. They gave us cotton. At about the same time as the Sumerians and Egyptians they gave us bricks, granarys and assembly halls.
The Greeks left us with democracy and the idea of freedom, justice including trial by jury, history as distinct from Propaganda, the idea of proof, modern medicine, philosophy, sciences such as physics and biology and modern literature and theater. They provided great advances in poetry and art, architecture, and mathematics. They gave us the first real understanding of music and several popular sports as well as beginning the Olympic games.
The ancient Chinese gave us paper, pasta and noodles, fast food, simple printing, silk, gunpowder, concrete, wheelbarrows, flame throwers, toilet roll, paper money and football (yes they invented a game very similar to modern soccer more than 2000 years ago).
The ancient people of South America and Central America gave us chocolate, vanilla, potatoes, popcorn, peanuts and many other foods. They gave us rubber, Chewing Gum, terrace farming, freeze-dried food, hydroponics, cable cars, suspension bridges and obsidian knives. They reinvented beer and concrete. They gave us many types of medicines (including the world's first contraceptive pills) and some dangerous drugs (such as cocaine). Also they were great architects, builders, artists and artisans.
