The incas didn't have one and they are considered a civilization. Also there was the vinca script from the neighboring culture.
>centralized political structure
They don't seem to have had that but other features of the culture indicate a civilised society.
>stable currency
>The Inca did not use money, as their economy was based on a complex system of labor tax (mit'a service), reciprocity, and redistribution. Instead of currency, they used a system of stored goods
>organized military
Give me an example of Indus-valley organized military lmao
>And so on. these settlements, as robust as they could be, were not civilizations per-se
Ok so do you consider "great" zimbabwe or the kingdom of benin to be civilizations? why?
>they weren't a craddle, since they had no impact in any modern culture
No one ever said that but academics even refuse to consider Crete a cradle because of the anti-European bias in academia despite the Minoan civilization being independently developed.

>No modern reconstructions please.
Are you actually genuinely mentally retarded? do actually think a wattle and daub house from the middle ages could survive until 2025 hahahahahahahahah!! jesus christ there are some absolute special individuals on this site my lord.

And basically what you're saying is you don't trust archaeologists and literal museums that are connected to universities because they are the ones who built those reconstructions you absolute retard. You're a science denier too it seems, if you deny science there's absolutely no point engaging with you you're a flat earther basically.
