Which significant event in history occured before the telephone,light bulb,gas power car and even the airplane?

was invented?|||Nothing. Absolutely nothing happened before the light bulb. When God said "let there be light" he was referencing that invention. People didn't develope a means to communicate, create a sense of society, cultivate crops, domesticate animals, construct buildings, manifest religion, establish governments, have wars, revolt again oppressors, or explore the world until the light bulb was perfected in 1879.|||Steam engines (heat engines using boiling water to produce mechanical motion) have a long history, going back at least 2000 years. Early devices were not practical power producers, but more advanced designs producing usable power have become a major source of mechanical power over the last 300 years, enabling the industrial revolution, beginning with applications for mine water removal using vacuum engines. In general usage, the term 'steam engine' can refer to integrated steam plants such as railway steam locomotives and portable engines, or may refer to the machinery alone, as in the beam engine and stationary steam engine. Specialized devices such as steam hammers and steam pile drivers are dependent on steam supplied from a separate boiler.|||The earliest of these is about 1870, so you are talking about history from the invention of the written word to that date. About 10000 years as opposed to 140 years from that date to the present.





I'm not going to attempt to summarize 10000 years of history, you can start at the referenced web site and go on from there.





i will mention agriculture, domestic animals, bronze and then iron tools and weapons, writing, drawing, construction, etc.





.|||Lots of them


Maybe your question relates to the first documented, or the first patented invention.


I know that time keeping devices have been around for quite a while. Way more than 2009 years! Look at Jewish calendar.


The word “computer” only came about the electronic storage of information.


There were numerous machines performing the very same duty that today’s computers do. They were mechanical devices operating with cams and gears.





Before that could be done someone had to invent the wheel.





Hope this properly answers your question|||The creation of the human rights, democracy, the scientific method, all the things you listed above are the caused by what humans did before they invented those things.|||I would say the printing press invented by Johannes Gutenberg around 1450.|||Leland Stanford's creating the railroad|||Many, US declared independence, for example.|||You must be more specific.





There were countless such events.
