I have struggled with this question since I first started studying math as my major concentration. I feel it's because it is a loaded question with many interpretations. To me, math is the study of everything around us. It is how we quantify structures. It's a science that deals with logic. It is a measurement of the physical space around us. It is so much more then just a simple discipline or school subject.
I am not all that knowledgable when it comes to the early discoveries of mathematics.
5 milestones I can recollect:
Quantifying time and number systems in Egyptian times
Euclid's Elements
Pythagoras and his theorem
Newton and his Laws
Math of the Scientific Revolution- Galileo etc.
