So this statement here from Bungie is very interesting.

"In our darkest days, Humans, Exos, and Awoken found the Traveler where it made its last stand, low above Earth, silent and immobile. We built this City – our last – within its protective Shield, fighting countless wars to keep its peace. From that dark age, the Guardians of the City were born."

So, breaking that down:
1) The Traveler makes his last stand right above Earth.
2) Humans, Exos, and Awoken flood under his shield and begin to build The City.
3) Humanity fought "countless wars" to keep the City protected and standing.
(What would make the writers say "Countless wars"?)
4) The Guardians are a product of the defense of the City. Ergo, there were NO Guardians before the City was built.
