As far as I can tell, there is actually nothing reinforcing the notion that the Lotus has actually been around for thousands of years, possibly even during events of Dark Sector.

The symbol associated with the Lotus of today has been but thats not an indication. The Lotus could have just adapted the symbol for unknown reasons, possibly to more easily usurp a role that the Tenno would accept as a leader, perhaps through subliminal suggestion or some other means. The Lotus could be a form of impostor that has nothing to do with the Tennos hitherto history.
