I actually don't like the way the show-creators often show that only this kind of village-life / being one with nature equals ascension equals good at all, because it somehow suggests that there is something wrong with city-life or technology. If you are one of the ancient that is never struck by a desease it may have its up-side, but those people clearly were not. Ok they had the point of eternal good weather working fot them, but that the show never shows the down-side of actually living without a dentist and so on nearby when it comes to ascension and the ancients is irritating.
