I wonder what their religions and mythologies are like. It would be fascinating to study their psychology and the structure of their psyche.
Asimov once wrote a short story (I think it was called "Eclipse" or "Sunset") about a planet with many suns that had people on it. Once in few thousand years the civilization would destroy itself because in a rare conjunction the suns would be eclipsed by their moon. For people who didn't know darkness the only way to make light was to burn everything.
