None of these are ancient accomplishments if you like them. They're all since say 1900.
Abolition of slavery world wide (almost everywhere)
Women liberation
The rule of law and not men
Great advances in medicine reducing suffering (anesthesia and surgery, vaccines)
Birth mortality going from 50% of children dying in 1800 to about 1% today
Maternal mortality going from 5 per 1000 to .1 per 1000
The average person being able to own their own private coach (car) and eat like the kings of old
Universal education
Space exploration
Of course there are many things to improve. Let's get at it.
