I think about this too...the cave art, the people who created them, who were they, what did they like, what did they think about, did they think about the people of the future...?
All these artists from way back in time, did they dream they would be connecting with us?
The personal experience that comes to mind is seeing ancient coins (like Roman coins with emperors' heads, for instance) and realizing that, while those ancient people lived in a very different world, they used money and bought & sold things just like us.
The physical experience of taking a few coins out of your pocket and using them to buy something is a shared experience that connects us to people who died thousands of years ago.

Yes.
