Actually almost everything you've listed advanced because there was money to be made from it.
If money exists, there's money to be made, that doesn't mean Capitalism was the reason irrigation for example was invented...
These developments were made without Capitalism, and they weren't driven by Capitalism either, money changed hands after their development just as it had before...
Currency isn't Capitalism, a basic barter system may well have existed before the earliest currencies anyway, but that's not Capitalism either.
Money was made as a result of progress, thousands of years before Capitalism, but irrigation, farming came from neccesity and human inegnuity, cave paintings, any form of culture in fact came about because we're human, and none of it had anything to do with making money or Capitalism.
We didn't develop through the ages listed because there was money to be made from it either.
