One thing the West is superb at is preserving its own history in interesting ways. I have a far more direct appreciation of western over Indian history due to museums. What little museum-grade understanding I have of Indian history is mostly through western museums.

I suspect it is partly rooted in the openness to "cyclical logic" found in Indian Philosophy.

That’s a BS rationalization. It’s mostly just crappy traditions of preservation coupled with looting of artifacts by various colonizers.

This might also be a BS rationalization or apophenia, but perhaps it's related to cultural preferences for burial vs. cremation of the dead
