Probably the most advanced civilizations at that time were in China and India (the Incan, Aztec, and Mayan civilizations in the "New World" were probably also in this category at that time but are harder to compare and rank), but Europeans knew nothing of them. The next most advanced civilization at that time was the Islamic Arabians in the Middle East that the Europeans tried fighting to "rescue" the small remnant Jerusalem church from Islamic persecution. The Europeans really understood nothing of the issues between the Jerusalem church and the Arabs when they committed to this ridiculous "crusade" (and later crusades were even more ridiculous and nonsensical).
