They were more advanced and had better weapons. The Europeans also unknowingly brought diseases to the native people, greatly weakening their civilizations and armies.
With the understanding that South America begins with what is now known as the aforementioned continent, the Inca empire were an advanced Native American civilization long before Europeans took part in New World affairs. The Incas dominated the west coast of South America.
Circumstances that helped the civilizations and diverse cultures of the Americas to develop in ways both common and unique are the early civilizations of the Americas created such vast empires with an advanced form of thinking and living. These civilizations lacked some of the essential tools that the Asian civilizations depended on to form there amazing empires.
Ancient Egypt displayed their advanced ancient civilization by keeping written records of their history and building pyramids that required excellent engineering skills.
Because they where way more advanced than the Aztecs and they had support from nearby tribes that hated the Aztecs.
Because the didn't have all the advanced and great explorers that Europe had.
Between 1,800 and 300 BC, many indigenous cultures matured into advanced pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations such as: the Olmec, the Teotihuacan, the Maya, the Zapotec, the Mixtec, the Toltec and the Aztec, which flourished for nearly 4,000 years before the first contact with Europeans.
No, they weren't. It's true that the Europeans had better technologies in most cases, but they weren't necessarily more culturally, genetically advanced.

The Maya are indigenous people who primarily inhabit southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. The Maya civilization was one of the most advanced Mesoamerican civilizations, known for their advanced knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, architecture, and art.
There were more than 100 ethnic groups at the time, but the most advanced civilizations included the Aztecs and Mayans. Other civilizations already extinct at the time of contact with Europeans include the Olmecs and Teotihuacans, which are considered to be the precursors of such advanced societies.
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).
They were, of course, no where near as advanced as we are today but the answer is yes.
organized religion a written language an accurate calendar advanced agriculture
Only civilizations with a food surplus built them.
I believe that the Mayan civilization was the most advanced because they had a fully developed written language based on syllables.
