European White Males created EVERYTHING that lasted and created the foundation of civilization. The few exceptions like the pyramids and the Great Wall of China are impressive slave-labor creations but are basically stacked bricks.

A lot of this controversy really starts w/ the DNA testing of egyptian mummies. (Hint: Many are western european and it's why they don't want to test the rest)
