It's really hard to rank things that were invented/discovered across such long amounts of time. Most early inventions become the basis for later ones. So I guess I'll put some of the most basic and important ones.

The Wheel
Language and Writing
Math
Fire
Agriculture and Irrigation

For a more modern-inclusive list maybe:

The Internet
The Automobile
Electricity
Plumbing
Gunpowder

No particular order.
