This question is also simple.
First off, does a fish question existence? How about a dog? No. Now, if humans never existed, would there be any contemplating of the meaning of life? No. Humans live a life in which we have periods of purposes all intertwined to form the life we live here. I want to do this, and I live to do it, then once I am done I have another purpose. But humans cannot bring this up another level. The only reason we question the purpose is because we are made to survive - we think everything has a purpose. This is bullshit. Our lives have no purpose. Here's another case sort of like this: If you are a Christian, but you were born in Ancient Egypt, you would have believed in THEIR gods, never even KNOWING about your Bible or beliefs. I myself am Christian, but to me the Bible is a metaphor written by white supremacists and followed by people falling under the propaganda of the church that has child-molesting priests. But I digress. Anyhow, it's an illusion of ours, to think we have a purpose. Bullshit.
Human-kind in so vain. We map out everything, from food chains to heirarchys, and think that everything has a purpose, a place, and a time.
If there is such a thing as a meaning to this so-called "life", "exsistance" as we know it, there is no cummilative answer. Everything, everybody, has its own place, its own purpose in its "lifetime".
But that is my view. But, as Shakespeare wrote, "There are more things, Horatio, then are dreamed of in your philosophy."

It is true that if you are born in Egypt and still not knowing Christianity... just think it as another possibility, as we are living in a world of possiblities, and that doesn't mean that we don't have a purpose in life.. I didn't want to write this down actually, because I want you to realise it yourself, but as to my experience, there is some possiblities that you won't experience it if you forget about it, not interested... or whatsoever... that's why I write it down...
About a year ago i accepted that there was no meaning of life and as soon as you died that was it. So shortly after this for my final essay in english class i decided I'd do a persuasive essay on why christianity is not real. Once I finish off the final touches and print it out i get curious and want to see a word count....the essay ended up being 666 words long kind of made me reconsider things. So basically...my theory on life is you might as well be "saved" by god and live your life by him because if you think about it this way; when the time comes and you die you either spend an eternity in heaven and if god is not real....your gone theres nothing, you cant complain because you dont even know you existed. Its a win win situation 🙂
