During the initial exploration of Venus, ancient ruins predating humanity's existence were discovered, leading to a colonization rush by some of Earth's brightest minds.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Venus#Ishtar_Sink|Ishtar Sink]]''</ref> It has been acknowledged that the ruincs came from another Venus in a different reality.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/ghost-fragment-vex-4?highlight=Venus]</ref> Following the [[Collapse]], the [[Vex]] lay claim to those ruins and began protecting them for unknown reasons.<ref name="Planetview">[https://www.destinyplanetview.com/en/home '''Destiny Planet View''']</ref> | |||

The [[Ahamkara]] had a strong presence on Venus during the [[City Age]], and appeared to be engaged in terraforming the planet for unknown purposes. The nature of the changes wrought by the Ahamkara are unclear; according to [[Eris Morn]], eyewitnesses disagreed over what they saw, or the order in which events had occurred. During the Great Ahamkara Hunt, a "paracausal phenomenon" appeared over the Ishtar Academy which prompted at least one Guardian who witnessed it to apparently attempt permanent suicide. Ultimately, the Ahamkara were exterminated on Venus by the Guardians, although their skeletal remains continued to telepathically influence those who encountered them. | The [[Ahamkara]] had a strong presence on Venus during the [[City Age]], and appeared to be engaged in terraforming the planet for unknown purposes.
