So it seems to me (!) that in the whole of human history there have only been 4 races of significance:

Ancient Egyptians
Ancient Greeks
Renaissance Italians
Romantic/Contemporary Germans

Thoughts?

You missed the Romans, who were of much more significance than the Egyptians.

You also missed the Anglo-Saxons, from whom basically all of western society descend.

Monguls
They had an empire that stretched from China to Eastern Europe. They were slaughtering some knights when their leader died and everyone went back home to fight over who will be the next leader (no clear line of succession).

The Aztecs and Incas were very advanced, but the Spanish religion destroyed all the writings and technologies they found.

These civilizations were not connected with the rest of the world so their knowledge was totally lost. Unlike Egipt and Greece, Europe, China, etc.

How did the Spanish conquerors defeated so easily these civilzations? Because new virus and deseases. They died like insects.

If you are considering the "whole human history" and not just the one that have influenced our present culture, these were significant too.
