Answer 1

1. Paper=to design, spread, and encourage ideas i.e. wheel, political revolution, history.

Answer 2

I have put it not only in order of importance but also the dependency to the next invention. So, though they may not look important, they are important for the next invention.

Wheel

This is the mother of all inventions. You can see this as part of all basic work. Everything comes later.

Alphabet

Provided a major breakthrough in recording the conversations. This helps greatly in communication to be more accurate and consistent. This can help perculate history so that there is no need to reinvent the whole thing.

Map

Important in locating places. Helps in expansion. Think of old maps.

Compass

It was so important for the ancestors to get the direction. Compass and map constituted grand old GPS system

Motion Picture

Breakthrough in entertainment.

Brick

Helped in solid structures to improve the security and life spans of human lives.

Computer

You just can't imagine the modern wold without computer. It's a backbone of advanced age.

Automobile

Yet another important piece in the advanced age.

Space Shuttle

One more important piece in advanced age that helps to understand weather, warn natural disasters, communication etc.,

Money

Last and the least. Gives a shape to services. This is to be treated as an indication of how solid you are in the society.
