Investing in the Nikkei Index for three decades could not also guarantee wealth creation. Imagine an investor who did an SIP in the Nikkei and waited for three decades earned sub par returns.

Even the S&P had a miserable 10 years sometime back.

In India too there were phases when returns were negative

When you provide examples of a 1500 year fire and a monument under construction from 1880 onwards , the point that is missing , is that we investors do not have such long life spans.

sure you dont have 1500 years. I would request you to understand what happened in Japanese markets before Nikkei markets topped. That's why used the words said asset allocation. Second, check out the 30 year SIP returns of Nikkei as well. In fact, Japan is the only country apart from INdia and US that has delivered highest SIP real returns.
