I don't know why that's the answer, except that I remember watching a movie or something, where they a school age guy what the greatest invention of the millenium was or something like that, and the answer was antiseptics.

Donnie Darko.
Agriculture, as lebell pointed out, made civilization viable. I think it could be said that if not for agriculture, most inventions wouldn't exist. It made engineering possible, since it allowed food production to be put in the hands of, relatively, small group of people. In doing so other people were freed up to pursue other things like invention.
That being said, language is pretty freaking big too.
