Patriarchalist countries: Women tend to save too much.

The main difference is the quantity and quality of goods the societies had.

One civilization had property.

The other did not have property.

Civilizations that have property must have more advanced societies.

States have over 50,000 people, have many villages and a capital, have class and residence based relationships, 1 or more languages and ethnicities, centralized government, many levels of bureaucracy, monopolies of force and information, have formalized laws and judges, may justify kleptocracy, have intensive food production, division of labor, pay taxes, public architecture, etc.

That is put them at a great advantage against the Europeans who were much more advanced:

We are talking about states (European states) meeting people at the Bronze age. Culture inherited and passed from generation to generation.

States are especially good at developing weapons of war, providing troops, promoting religion (fanaticism) and patriotic fervor that makes troops willing to fight suicidally.
