Probably near the Relay Monument.

I'd imagine the Keepers cleaned up their remains at some point. Wouldn't do to have bodies littering the Citadel when it's next victims decided to come and visit.

There bodies were probably cleared and cleaned off the Citadel by the keepers long before the Asari showed up.

This. Or they were found... There shouldn't be any assumption that finding those Protheans would be inherently special to anyone in Citadel space given that they're largely believed to have created the Citadel and relays.

"Dead Protheans on their greatest technological marvel... What's going on? I don't even..."

Yeah, I don't see it as being THAT much of a surprise. Sounds like something pretty typical and mundane.

You have to look at it, that was around fifty thousand years ago. there bodies most likely where cleaned up from the Keepers or turned to dust.

[commander_chung]

or they where there for so long that they turned in to dust

[evan Derdowski]

maybe they were somewhere inside the inaccessible core, just because the current races cant get into it doesnt mean the protheons werent able 2

[ITSSEXYTIME]

Decomposed most likely. Or dealt with by the Keepers.

My guess is that they lived. Vigil seemed fairly intentionally in the dark about their fate, mostly making an educated guess. I think we'll likely meet a Prothean, possibly at a dramatically high enough point near the climax of Mass Effect 2 or 3.

not possible. Even if they did survive, they weren't numerous enough to keep a viable population going. Even if they mated like crazy, they would still die off after a couple centuries at the latest.

The keepers are the Prothean's?

[Jsmith0730]

Fist buried them under the bar at Chora's Den!

Even if that explanation was plausible, it's non-beneficial anyway. What good are the descendants of the protheans, fifty thousand years separated from the event? Hooray that they're not extinct, but that wouldn't really help anyone.

I'm betting a super secret, state-of-the-art prothean stasis pod will be found on Ilos, independant of Vigil's control and running off an organic generator. Or, you know, something like that. The prothean will be able to speak of the event directly and not through a fog of stories passed down to him from his parents and their parents and their parents before them.

And even though he'll be the last of his kind, he'll probably mate with an asari, and the asari will "gain" everything about being a prothean, and our technology will jump fifty thousand years forward (backward), and then we use that against the Reapers.

No the keepers were around even before the protheans showed up.

The protheans were weak bug-people! That's what happens when bug-people rule the galaxy, giant shellfish exterminate them and all other life.

I'm hoping to meet a Prothean. Maybe a secret homeworld where no one can reach them.

Considering that there was likely no food on the Citadel as they returned centuries after the invasion began they would have died of starvation then had their bodies disposed of by keepers. But like you said, Vigil was only making an educated guess. Though I don't think it likely, presumably one could have found an operational stasis pod on the Citadel or there could have been other colonies like Ilos that were not included amongst the Prothean records on the Citadel.

Well they were turned into bug people, If you remember the prothean statues on ME1 they more resemble the squid heads of dungeons and dragons the Illithid or mind flayers.

an exagerated version of doctor Zoyberg in Futurama's tentacles in their mouths. But without claw hands
