It is an obnoxious error for any modern culture to claim ownership of cultural knowledge.
All Modern cultures (and also American culture) borrowed much their culture from the rest of the world and usually upgraded the materials from which these things were made. (cups, doors, curtains, beds)
Suddenly all culture is Euro-based. Actually it is only that the European culture is newest. Technological advances aside (from 1900 on) there is little ownership only contribution.
In the same way all European and World culture is mine and will be enhanced by what I add to it.
Familial and spiritual knowledge is another matter.
ALSO, In 4000 BC the 10 million people on earth created inventions in proportion to their numbers. Today with 6 billion there has to be a proportional increase in the frequency of creative ideas.
