If they invented Mondays then they must have been the first to experience Mondayitis, .... thus another great contribution to mankind.
 I think the first writing systems were for keeping track of trade items. They didnt have paper though, they used clay(great for archaeological preservation). Papyrus parchment was a product of Egypt. The Mayans used animal hides. The Chinese made paper as we know it. So many civilizations solving the same problems with what was available to them. They didnt have a monopoly on agriculture though. Agriculture in New Guinea has been dated to 9,000 BC.
