If that civilization were my ancestors, I'm not sure I'd like it. Besides, what do we really learn? How they lived? What types of houses they lived in? How they died? Customs of the day?

I find it interesting. It helps us to better undestand how they lived.

Hi, yep digging up ancient civilisations is a worthwhile endeavour. If you consider that less than 100 years ago there was a bloke who went around killing people (Jews) because he didn't like them being richer than he was, and because there were a lot of other people who felt the same. But did we learn anything from that experience? Would anyone in the future learn anything about the dnagers of nuclear power if they dug up chernobyl? or what about the library which documented the various man made disasters. What would you prefer? that we have the possibility for learning from past mistakes or would you rather repeat past mistakes?

this is more important than do things by your self its like you see the mistakes of the others and avoid it and see the good things and try to take availing from it......... and the most important one that you discover....

What's the point, its not like we use anything we learn from their mistakes.
