Jul 25, 2017 at 18:27	comment	added	RichS		Only a few tens of thousands of years at most? If the galaxy is 12 billion years old, and habitable planets have been around for 9 billion years, there was certainly plenty of time for many galactic civilizations to form. I'd think that some existing planets could trace their history back maybe a few million years. I'm just surprised that either the historical records from before the present civilization were all lost or that none go that far back.
