Well, one objection could be that much of the information about the ancient civilizations has been lost, whereas it is highly improbable that a person could add anything to the knowledge about the modern world to a future historian or a linguist.

Maybe but it's pretty common for much knowledge of even the recent past to be lost and it seems plausible that even a detailed selection of texts couldn't give the experience that someone who was there could give.
So if preserved people from the past survived long enough, it seems like historical interest could motivate people to re-animate them. There may be other motivations but that's one.
Maybe only a small selection would be reanimated at any one time. But that might others to revived later.
