1. why would humans be the only ones at their level? our earth shows incredible abundance and diversity of life forms (conclusion: it can work in such a way), our solar system/galaxy/universe shows incredible scarcity and uniformity in terms of life forms (conclusion: this can also work) - caveat: the latter is if you trust nasa & co. in terms of truthfulness and competence (desperate & corrupt organizations will use anything to keep them afloat)
2. ancient civilizations were not primitive, they lived in a different age with different conditions, tools and interests - they had much knowledge we are clueless about - we have much trouble understanding that which got passed on (or we foolishly dismiss it as primitive)
3. civilizations on our level have similar knowledge and understanding as we do, likely in a different system of displaying/keeping that information (just like matter on earth is similar to matter on some other planet or even universe in terms of its level, though may vary greatly in appearance, depending on their materialistic 'laws of nature')
4. what information can be expected? nothing new in essence, only in appearance
5. 6. see under 3.
7. 8. lol (way too much smoke and still no fire... but maybe with cgi...)
9. foolish viewpoint, being more advanced means less intention on experimenting with other life forms
10. the ancient people believed so and logic tells you there must be an intelligent primal force that keeps all this from falling apart into either a chaotic mess of coincidences or nothingness
