I'm getting the distinct feeling that these ancient cultures in Peru of four thousand years ago were far more civilised and sophisticated than their European counterparts during the same time period. European "civilistaions" were extremely brutal with nothing more than simple tribal huts.

4000 years ago there were still barely any European civilization. The first major civilizations were in what we now call Middle East. But from what I read in this article, this amazonian culture seemed to have been still in the stone age...

You guys obviously need to study your history.

For starters, a bit of info on Europe 4000+ years ago:

Or if you want to go back even further, say up to 10,000 years ago:
