I read that one too, quite recently

Perhaps, still I don't understand that resistance against having
possibility of advanced civilisation existed before our times... there's
too heavy stink of "white western man" being the only and first one and
all others in everywhere being nothing but primitive barbarians...

Unfortunately yes...
and they're still arguing who came from where and who was first in
where ;)
Religions had been connected to power too often. Hundreds of years
church had the authority to explain how world works, and if you didn't
agree, your life was quite short. Now we have this thing called science,
are they more objective? I have amazed about this 'religious
fundamentalism' when these 'scientists' screams out loud that something
is fraud or it doesn't exist without even taking a second look about the
subject.
That's one reason why I'm 'science-sceptic'.
This is not connected to above, but came into mind, about two years ago
there was a public opinion in newspaper where someone really seriously
tried to explain why interstellar spacetravelling is impossible, and
therefore there are no ets ;)
The one wrote how much fuel it has to take even from a nearest star
Alfa/Proxima Centauri, and how long that trip might take, and how much
fuel it takes to brake when coming into our solar system! *LOL*
...well, about 10 years ago father of my friend couldn't understand that
stars in the sky are like our sun, to him, they were only stars... and
they couldn't be very big, because sometimes they fall to earth...
