Many of these cities were founded thousands of years apart. Which is kind of "around the same time" when given the context of human existence, but it's still pretty distant. One thing to note is that as far as modern history is concerned, written language was created independently in 5-6 different parts of the planet. I think in general though, western culture purposely likes to downplay ancient prehistoric cultures in order to make their own cultures seem leaps and bounds ahead. Take into account the basic technologies that people all over the planet had such as the bow and arrow (except for possibly australian aborigines)

Most of these cities were not founded on slaves, though some did use slaves afterwards. There are still misconceptions about them however. Egypt is probably the most notorious due to the abrahamic bibles making false claims about jewish slaves.
