The Reason of Prophecy of Most of Prophets to be in the Middle East [Prophecy]

Why prophets have been chosen only in Mesopotamia and the Middle East? If the reason is their civilizations then why no prophet has been sent for great civilizations like Greece civilization (we shouldn't forget that his holiness Jesus (a.s.) was born in the Middle East) and Mayas or great civilizations of black people?
Is it possible to consider Confucius (in China), Buddha (in India), Zoroaster and Cyrus (in Iran), Hippocrates and Socrates (in Greece) as divine prophets?
As it has been mentioned in our religious resources that: "We chose a prophet for each two persons"; therefore, prophets should have been sent for Eskimos and all nations. And if the answer is negative then this theory will be strengthened that prophecy has been advanced by the advancement of civilizations and worships also by the advancement of the systems of thought! Because firstly humans were worshipping the sun, the moon and like them and afterwards they chose the visible god by the advancement of their system of thought. What is your opinion?

Historians agree that cradle of human civilization has moved in Middle East, and in that time neither Greece had a civilization nor anywhere else; and because appearance of religion in this region caused it to expand to other regions then God has chosen prophets from this region in order for their religions to expand to other regions from there.
