The question for an AHC here is what could these Ethnic groups of the Bronze age and antiquity could have done to create large sized lasting empires and civilizations "and" survive well upto the modern age?
Here is the list.
*Tocharians in the Tarim Basin and surrounding regions.
*Hurrians in the North Central Middle East and Levant.
*Urartians in the Caucasus and southern Anatolia
*Etruscans
*East Germanic peoples in the Spain and North Africa
*Scythians(Saka) in the Central Asia,parts of East Asia and Northern fringes of India
*Mitanni Indo-Aryans
*Indo-Greeks in Northern parts of India and Central Asia
*Parthians
*Hittites and other major Indo-Hittite/Anatolian civilizations
*Gautians
*Sumerians
*Caucasian language speakers like Chechens,Circassians,Abkhaz,etc in the ancient era
*Caucasian Georgians
These for now. Will add more later if to be. You can pick one or more and put the POD like either defeating an invader or like building good infrastructure and empires.
Note:I have mentioned regions only to indicate where they could have founded empires but for spread of the empires,sky is the limit.

I made one timeline.
Tocharians: A River valley Empire built in the Tarim Basin like Mesopotamian ones and and Egypt and slowly starts to expand outwards creating a large Empire in the Fertile regions of Central Asia. Eventually conquests and settlements of other surrounding regions also happen. Afghanistan,NorthWest India,Uzbekistan,parts of China,Kyrgyzstan are all Tocharianized in this timeline. Thus a large Centum people group exists along with Celts,Germanic peoples and Southern Europeans.
Khotanese,Sogdians, would need a similar strategy.
I am making next for Hurrians and Urartians and also Anatolians like Hittites.

Hittite conquest of Egypt would be interesting.
Hittites had subjects who were Hurro-Urartian as well as it appears! That makes it interesting. Egypt is difficult as they were very strong. Levant and Middle East would be possible. Plus,Egypt was a friendly neighbour. A mutually extremely close relationship would come close to conquest of each of each other.
