Is this like how Confucius and Lao-Tzu believed that the primitive states of the ancients were better?

No, this is the Hindu understanding of circular history, and they believed that previous civilizations were more advanced (spiritually and intellectually), not primitive in the contemporary sense - Evola uses the word primitive to mean 'coming first', not 'simple'. To answer OP:s question, Hinduists believe that the history of civilization is much more extensive than our western contemporaries do, though that's a bit of a simplification as their conception of time is cyclic rather than linear. So 5100 years is nothing to them.

For Evola's conception of time, which is similar but not identical to the Hindu conception, you'll need to read the man himself. Revolt Against the Modern World should be a good place to start. https://archive.org/stream/RevoltAgainstTheModernWorld/revolt-against-the-modern-world-julius-evola_djvu.txt
