Theory: This isn't the first time the Traveler has been here.

Here is an idea that I don't think I have seen anywhere: What if the Traveler and the Darkness have already battled over control of our Solar System? In Destiny, the Traveler showed up in our Solar System and began terraforming planets, making them habitable and bringing new life to them. We spend thousands of years enjoying the golden age of the Traveler, only to have the Darkness show up. What if, a long long time ago, the Traveler showed up in our Solar System and began working on turning the Earth from a barren rock into a habitable planet? The Traveler helped get humans on their path to becoming the dominant creatures on the planet. It would be at this point that the Darkness would show up, a few thousand years into the process, and interrupt. The following battle between the Traveler and the Darkness changed the face of the planet, creating islands and separate continents, digging deep wounds into the planted in the form of deep-sea trenches, and ultimately turning the sky black, plunging the planet into an ice age, and wiping out the Dinosaurs. The Traveler fled from our fledgling planet, now doomed to die in a long, cold winter, and decided to go elsewhere. The Darkness followed, seeing the planet as doomed and not worth corrupting. What do you think? Maybe this battle was fought here a long time ago, and now the Traveler has finally come back in a desperate attempt to find Guardians who would help defend it from the Darkness.

  • I would actually think that the Earth was already in full swing, and that the Traveler came upon us, and we had a Golden Age. Then, we took over the other planets, but then comes the Darkness, and wipes the planets out, making them the desolate worlds of today. Mankind is forced to reset to an earlier age, forgetting all about the great struggle, and thus making us believe that we barely discovered the Traveler on Mars, when in truth ,this was a dance done all before. Who's to say this hasn't happened multiple times, just like I think Killworthy theorized with the Hindu belief, where the Earth is scrubbed clean then reseeded every so often.
