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....

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.
