Your question shows not the absense of prophets else where ,but the absence of your congnizance of the fundamental principle of Islam.The central tenet of Islam is - every corner of the earth received Prophet in every language until Prophet Muhammed.
Quran names explictily the prophets from the region of Middle east.And please be informed the greates civilizations lived and thrived there. Babylonians,Egypticans etc.The issue of why greates Prophets such as Abraham was sent in the lands of Babylon(Todays Iraq) is a further proof of the veracity of Islam
