Ok, so on the way out, the 13th tribe builds a "Temple of Hopes" to pray for a path to a new home. Ellen says that's 3,000 years ago, other sources say 4,000 years ago, but either way it's long ago.
Next, somehow a legend develops of a "Temple dedicated to the five priests of the one whose name cannot be (spoken)." The sacred scrolls talk of it. Tyrol has fake memories of studying it as a child. It's a Kobolian legend, it dates back before the tribes left Kobol, before the war on Earth and the birth of the final five.
So now 13th colony Earth is nuked and the F5 head out in their sublight ship. Many hundreds of years later, they stop at the Temple of Hopes. Ellen doesn't notice it's been modified in any way (but then she never saw its original form, just knew the stories of it from their history, perhaps saw pictures.)
She says she didn't modify it.
Then, later, the F5 arrive and create the 8 Cylons. Now they are important enough to warrant putting their faces in this temple.
Powerful forces drive the colonial fleet and Cylon fleet to the temple on nova day. The hybrid says the secrets of the temple are only to be revealed to the chosen one and it seems to be Baltar. But 3 sees it instead. The star explodes. Ellen says none of this is her doing, must be the one true god.
So how to explain all this? Does the OTG create the legend of 5 priests who never existed? Are the 5 priests 5 other beings? They are not the final five, who didn't even pick up monotheism until they got to Caprica.
In fact, is the Temple of Five something else entirely? Does Tyrol just mistake the Temple of Hopes for the mythical Temple of Five?
This is not making sense.
