I never claimed I researched the history of every civilisation. I do not know how Chinese and Japanense and African civilisations fit in. All I know is that are two major stands: The Sumerian civilisation and the Aryan civilisation and they are major players in the history of civilisation. The Sumerians are the beginning of the Abrahmic root of religion and Abrahmic culture and the Aryans are the beginning of the Dharmic and many of the religions known as Pagan(e.g., Celtic, Odinism, Arabian polytheism, Hindus, Buddhists, Persians and the Gnostics etc) It is a very broad term which can refer to non-abrahmic religion. When I say it I mean the religions of the Indo-Europeans. This is not clear cut, that there was one race known as Aryan and once race known as Sumerian, no it is never is that simple, there is a lot of exchange and intermixing. What can be distinguished however are the two competing ideologies.

This is the timeline of our current civilisation vis-a-vis the beginnings of the current civilisation and the civilisation we have today. The most important are Middile Eastern civilisations(Sumerians) and the Indo-Europeans in this particular narrative of what happened. If you look at world history they are at centre stage. The main players. Nobody denies just how influencial and powerful the Abrahmic and Indo-European traditions are and how much they have shaped world thought.
This is not to say that other civilisations are inferior, only that they were not as influencial. You mention China and Japan? Well, if China and Japan was so influencial in the past, why were they taken over by Buddhism from India(Aryan)? because India's influence and power was stronger. It had colonises as far as Indonesia in the 10th century. In the same vain the Roman Empire and Islamic empires shaped the history of the world, and finally European colonialism shaped the history of our modern world. Modern world is Western culture.
I am not denying China's technological achivements such as fireworks, printing press etc and I am not arguing a West vs India vs China scenorio. I talking about the major players in shaping our modern civilisation: The Middle East, Europe and India. I am pretty certain though that China is going to shape future civilisation because Western civilisation has come to an end and in this WW3 China and Russia will emerge victorious and establish a new socialist empire. Capitalism is on the brink of total destruction.
Anyway there are more important matters here in case you missed it. It's just over 1 and half years away.
