If what Warren Vidic claims is true, almost every major technological advancement of the last millennium has been achieved by reverse-engineering their technology. If the claims of the Templars are true, the Pieces of Eden were created thousands of years ago and were responsible for every major religious miracle, at least in the Templars' eyes, thus disproving the existence of an all powerful God.

The idea of the ones who have come before could be based on the ancient astronaut theory, where alien life visited the Earth millennia ago or the legend of Atlantis. Their technology is apparently easy to operate as even Al Mualim, who presumably didn’t know how the Piece of Eden actually worked, was able to wield one with ease. Curiously, Those Who Have Come Before programmed the Pieces of Eden to each display the locations of the others, presumably when they were damaged, though why this was done is unclear. They were probably the members of the first intelligent civilization on Earth and may have been worshipped as the ancient Greek and Roman gods by humans. Some of their members, if the previous theory is correct, were Minerva, Juno, Janus and others.

Those Who Came Before were the ancient, and yet incredibly advance race who created the Pieces of Eden and possibly humanity itself. Exactly who they were, how long ago, or how they came to die out is still largely unknown. What is believed is that they were an advance race who were worshiped by ancient cultures such as the Greeks as gods. The woman known as Minerva said they were not gods, but a race more advance in time who "simply came before".

Minerva revealed that at some point the race created the human race, possibly as some sort of slave race as shown in The Truth video. The race appeared to use humans as slaves and used the hypnotic powers of the Apples to control them. However, this did not last forever as two humans named Adam and Eve stole the mythical forbidden fruit of knowledge described in the Bible. In truth, the two may have stolen the apple to free mankind from the oppression of their masters.

While the ancient race were more technology advance and powerful, humanity had the advantage of numbers. Minerva stated that both sides craved war, but they were so preoccupied with their fighting; an impending danger was approaching from the "heavens". At some point, the sun released a massive solar flare that lead to the apocalyptic disaster of the earth.

Despite the damage and amount of death to the planet, humanity and the ancient race survived, as Minerva said "We built you in our image, we built you to survive" (indicating they did indeed create humanity). Both humanity and the race survived, tough in dwindled numbers, and set to rebuild. As the Earth and mankind worked to recover, the race "endeavored to ensure that this tragedy would not be repeated". This lead to the creation of the temples, such as The Vault in Rome, which were "built by those who learned to turn away from war".

It can at least be established that by Ezio's time the race had since died out, and appear to have left the temples as a some sort of means to save the Earth incase of another disaster.
