WHY ARE GREAT CIVILIZATIONS DISCREDITED?

There is plenty mentioned about the Romans. granted they were a great civilization but why are all the others discredited and ignored? The greeks, Persians, mesopotamians etc... Very little mentioned about them. It's as if they never existed. I wonder if in 200 years anyone would even know these civilizations were arround before the Romans and based our cultures as we know it. Shouldnt history be told as it happened? Why are they attempting to discredit these civilizations?

Fear and ignorance
Glorifying own culture
Biased History writers
Rip off others and claim it as yours, world rule!
We'll probably know even more about them in 200yrs
Romans were around longer
Romans wrote down their history, unlike the others
Romans kicked more ass

The modern West ripped off the Arabs. The Arabs ripped off the Greeks and Persians. The Romans ripped off the Greeks. The Greeks ripped off the Egyptians. The Persians ripped off the Babylonians, who ripped off the Sumerians. And the Sumerians and Egyptians both wouldn't be anything were it not for some forgotten extraterrestrial visitation, possibly Martians or Scientologists....
