I think throughout the history of the Avatar world, events weren't very "global". And what I mean is, is that the nations didn't get into many problems with one another, usually small things, like little warlords and armies fighitng eachother. the story of Oma and Shu doesn't seem to be very 'primitive' even though it happened maybe almost 100,000 years ago.

I guess the Avatar world had lived in a medieval era for a very looong time, and it was only until Sozin's war that technology suddenly became very important. Besides, like our world(not trying to sound one sided), the most important events seemed to have happened in the past few centuries(in the modern world). Things like technology, and 'renaissance enlightenment' are pretty new to the human race, judging that we date back thousands and thousands of years. Also, events that took place in BCE in our world aren't very focused on, other than major civilizations and biblical events. So it's probably the same in the Avatar world. the ancient history of the Avatar world is abit of a blurr, just Avatars helping out people when needed.

So I guess people in the Avatar world have been around for a long time, but have just stuck to a medieval way of life. Oh, and I don't think that many past Avatars had extreme issues to deal with, like Aang's. I guess Avatars weren't super popular celebrities in the more ancient times, and usually lived lives similar to Kuruk's, where the world was in peace, and the Avatar only had to step in at certain times.
