What civilizations does the concept of traditional society cover?

In principle, all pre-existing civilizations can be called such, with the exception of the current Western, post-Christian civilization. First of all, the traditional society should include Christian civilization, the Islamic world, China and India. Of the disappeared civilizations, one can mention Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Rome, the Ancient Greeks. All civilizations of traditional society are united by:

Privatization of the interests of the community (polis, state, empire) over the interests of an individual; Traditional patriarchal family;

Significant role of religion, traditions and customs;

A rigid social hierarchy, moreover, the position in it is determined not so much by merit as by origin, nobility of the clan, etc.
