Something That's Always Bugged Me...
[i]These ruins predate humanity by a few billion years[/i]
Why? The Vex didn't build them. Vex create monumental constructs, not futuristic Stone Henge.
So who built those ruins? They had to have a purpose to build them around the vault of glass. And has the vault been there for that long? Does the planet Venus, like Mercury, exist before and after current time?
Some one tell me what the actual 💩 is going on here?
*I don't think we are focusing on what's important here. The vex would not use rocks to build a house....

Those rocks are infused with technology and yes they are built by the Vex.

Yes, they are built by the Vex....but not in [i]this[/i] reality.

4 RepliesMany structures built by the Vex smear through time. All of the structures in our time that predate the Golden Age and our solar system were built in a different timeline You know how in the Vault and Citadel there are those disappearing platforms that are "fading in and out of time"? It's the exact same thing with these, except they are permanent. That is how many Vex structures randomly appeared even though they hadn't been there before, even without any Vex presence actually there at the moment in our timeline As for the rock and ruin, that stuff probably carried over with the actual Vex structure

From what I can understand the Vault exists in its own time loop separate from ours. If time is a river, the Vault is a puddle near by, existing at a certain point from the perspective of our timeline.

3 RepliesThe Vex exist in multiple timelines, dimensions if you will. The structures on Venus were already constructed in another timeline and then brought into ours. We exist on only one timeline. From our perspective things just appear and disappear. To the Vex they have always been or will be. Crazy terminator butter fly effect bs.

Simple solution it is Vex Tech lol

3 RepliesThe Vex did " build " them. The entirety of the stone structure is a machine. It's like what they did to Mercury. You should've realized this in the vault, as it's more evident there Vex stone structures are machines. Hell, ghost even says it in one mission. As far as predating humanity, I'm just going to assume some Vex time bs.

The Precursor Vex are probably the ones that built them. They're ruins, and they have tech in them, so...I don't the confusion here
-
Well, when you tend to overthink things, the explanation can seem as illogical as the lack of a complete story, in a story driven game
-
If you look at some rocks they are cracked open and have tec in them. Like boards and wires. Also the vex change change history, but they can only effect things so much, they can't go back to eradicate something that was the sol purpose of eradication. It'd be a paradox so we still exist cause they fear if not they never would exist. Plus we killed the heart so the power over changing time is greatly weakened. And certain strike bosses. But basically they can go back in time to effect only that thing and not our history of it. They in them selves are a paradox. They use and reuse units throughout time. You might even have fought the same vex unit before and never known it.

Search for "Destiny Ghost Stories" it's a lore podcast and the are doing a Vex/Vault Of Glass explanation now. First episode is called CosVaultology

1 ReplyEdited by TheW1ngedHussar: 4/27/2017 8:41:39 PMThe truth is... it's a scam. See, the Vex want you to believe that they are these badass time traveling terminator robots . But really, there are just remote controlled robots controlled by nerds. The "black garden" is a food source for their Cheetos! The "Vault of Glass" is some sort of collection room.

2 RepliesMaybe it was built by the elusive Architects that cause mysterious Guardian deaths every now and then.

18 RepliesEdited by SmoothbrainSev: 4/27/2017 6:22:53 PMAs far as I understand it, the Vault is a central node, controlled/represented by Atheon, in which every timeline of our Universe converges. Because of how the Vex have bent time around the Vault, it essentially exists at every point in time in our universe and its infinite variations. Our current estimate of the age of the universe, according to the front page of Google, is 13.82 billion years old. Venus's age, also according to google, is 4.5 billion years old. If we assume that Vault has existed since the first moment in time it possibly could have, either in the super hot aether of a pecoseconds old universe, or on the formation of the celestial body which would become known as Venus, then the dating of the ruins at "billions of years" could very well be accurate. Except they weren't "built" billions of years ago; they've always existed. It's just that, from the temporal viewpoint of Ghost and the Guardian, that is how long the ruins have existed for. Edit: Formatting, typos.

Aren't we supposed to just kill staff without asking to many questions? These ruins are just blocks of rock standing between them and my bullets

8 RepliesIf I remember correctly, the Citadel and all those other things were built in some other timeline's Venus, and was either carried over somehow or replicated in our timeline. The Vault of Glass is the Vex's attempt to make a Vex version of a Throneworld, and probably just floats around in space until the door to a certain timeline's Vault opens, I think

? no one building ruins. ruins make themselves
