Ive always wondered about how different civilizations on earth were very different. Why did by the time the Europeans and asians have a thriving technological advancements, literature, science, buildings, weaponry; yet the americas were relatively outdated?

I know different types of advancements, but one was way more actually advanced than the other. Or i might be getting it wrong..

Please explain and expand if my ideas were wrong or didnt see a specific detail.
