Wouldn't ancient civilizations that existed before money was created be closer to communism than capitalism?
Those were barter economies (ex: four chicken eggs for a loaf of bread).  Currency came about because a standard medium of exchange makes conducting business much easier for everyone.

In communism there is no currency.  Communists that I've spoken to say that bartering would still be a common practice (ex: I'll build you a guitar if you build me a canoe), but that profit wouldn't be a motivating factor in the exchange of goods and services.
What about an ancient community where, for example, the men go out and hunt and gather while women stay and make clothes and other things enough to fill the needs of every person.

primitive communism

Are you going to actually provide any logic or evidence for your position? Or are you just going to keep making vague statements?

because it's the system that was used in the best ancient civilizations
Communism or capitalism?

Also because it was being used during the industrial revolution...
That's probably because it caused the industrial revolution. . .

1. capitalism... 2. and we don't know what would happen if we were communist/socialist at that time...

lolno... It only doesn't work if we switch straight to communism... we need a long transition period from capitalism to socialism to communism (this would take a century or two)...
Even if you could make it work, there's nothing to suggest it'd be superior to capitalism.

I mean, we are comparing it to the system which has given 1pc of human history 99pc of the wealth.

no... that was a bartering system...

It's a pipe dream; idealistic nonsense. I'd rather devote my time to tweaking the best system of organisation man has yet devised: capitalism.
