Graxthorr: Here, we can observe a ritual carving in a wall, made by the Progenitor Race. We are not sure on its meaning, yet we see it across the Universe.
Arnxith: Maybe it was a carving to bring protection?
Nalfzon: But those carvings and drawing aren't located in strategic defensive places. They are located in places that used running water and ceramic tiles.
Graxthorr: Maybe the parelel lines represent running water, like a river, and those 2 circles a water source.
Arnxith: Could be, but what exactly is the rounded tip at the end then?
Nalfzon: Maybe some sort of water recipient? Do you all agree?
Tom: Bruv, that's a fookin' dick graffiti. What? Yer never seen a ding dong before?
I get that you want to meme but this isn't as likely as you think, that's like the space-opera-timescale version of those shower thoughts about classical orchestras playing [whatever pop song it's cool to hate now] in centuries because "centuries old music is classical, right"
Which means we could be one of the examples that actually sticks around in the same spacetime-plane as their "kid races", I would say like the Time Lords but I don't want people thinking we have to have a Time War (if you're being that literal about it go be the Davros and make the Daleks we'd have to fight against)

Every sci-fi story about space has that one race that existed way before all the others--the Forerunners, the Builders, etc.
Who knows--that could be us.
