The Temple of Five is a special temple built on the Algae planet by the Thirteenth Tribe approximately 4,000 years before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.
Based on Laura Roslin's research from the Sacred Scrolls, the five pentagonally-shaped pillars inside the temple were fashioned after the five priests devoted to "The One Whose Name Cannot Be (Unintelligible word: Roslin is interrupted before she completes the sentence)."
The temple is rediscovered by Galen Tyrol, who mysteriously senses the temple's presence in a nearby mountain side.
The Cylons are interested in the location as well, guided by a Hybrid's cryptic information on the location of the Eye of Jupiter, an artifact that supposedly points the way to Earth. One Cylon, a Number Three, believes a correlation exists with the Temple and the final five.
The Eye's location, its form or purpose has not yet been discovered by the Colonials or Cylons, although Tyrol appears to be attracted to a circular decoration located on the central spire (The Eye of Jupiter).
Notes
- According to the episode's podcast, the interior of the Temple of Five is an abandoned factory, the same set used for the large ordnance storage room of Ragnar Anchorage (where Aaron Doral is left behind in the Miniseries).
