Establishment historians typically treat only a select few peoples, such as the Sumerians, ancient Egyptians, ancient Greeks, and Romans, while brushing others out of the picture entirely. This is an arbitrary choice in focus, and the fact that almost all historians have been doing it for over a hundred years is very suspect.

Perhaps they didn't leave as much behind comparatively to others.
