Four Great Chinese Inventions

It is a well-known fact that the ancient Chinese had four original inventions attributed to them, and they are,

• paper
• printing
• gunpowder
• compass

I often marvel at how these ancient people, who did not have our technology and mass communication means to communicate and discuss, managed to invent these things. Did they do it on their own, or could they have received help from sources like aliens? Production of paper and the process of printing are not easy ones, so how did the inventor/s even begin to think of it?

Today, our scientists spends months and years in labouratories before something new is invented, and most inventions are built on what we already have. But the ancient people had nothing to start with, so how could the inventor had visualised something like paper and printing? There was also no incentive like making money through mass production. They supposedly had no scientific knowledge like we have today, so how could they carry out experiments before inventing the process of making paper?

Then why would they invent the compass if they did not need it? Since they invented it,we can safely assume that they had some use for it. But we do not really know what. Maybe they had other technlologies which we do not know. Maybe the compass was not invented by them, but was left behind by some aliens who came in spaceships?
