It is just stunning how active and enlightened the western world was around 550 BC and thereabouts. Just an amazing time from everything we know about it. There were massive leaps in every field of endeavor from art to trade to warfare. I would love to know how this happened seemingly all at once.

And all sorts of new things happening all over close to then.

The Prophets Daniel and Ezekiel, Pythagoras in Greece, and Buddha, with K’ung-fu-tzu, or Confucius shortly after, all almost at the same time.

There was extra food.

Which means not only more time for thinking up new things but also more people being born increasing the odds that you will get more innovators.
