You might say civilization was alive and well in

Civilization originated in Mesopotamia. I have a book in my shelf on a
generalist introduction to the archaeology of the earliest civilizations,
and it has a specific set of features that a society has to have to be
classed as a “civilization”:
* Urbanization
* Division of labour
* Metalworking
* Writing
There are exceptions to all of these. For example, the Inca didn’t have
writing.
Precisely.
