I shall also have to go with the Romans.
They effectively ruled the world for the most part.
They mastered the art of water delivery, the foundation of any civilization.
They effectively figured out both plumbing and hygiene.
They brought the technology and effectiveness of warfare to an all time high, even to the point of assuring that the enemies could not throw back roman weapons that missed their targets.
They built upward effectively creating multiple story apartment buildings to stay within the walls of confined cities.
They sought out and discovered any and all foreign technologies and improved on them, such as concrete.
They maintained cities with populations that would never be seen again in such numbers for close to a thousand years.
And the list could go on and on.
