What was the plan of pas? Because this is ridiculous and on the verge of collapse

You again? The only good part in this series is the first half of the first book.

I've read this comment like 9 times already.

Considering Pas is the demiurge, yes, of course it didn't work. And also I'm not sure if they were wiped, seeing Urth it's safe to assume they never knew how.

No they were wiped. The people who were in suspended animation could remember everything but Urth and high technology
Typhon existed a thousand years before botns, they had high technology - they built a gigantic generation ship and had sentient robots for it and all kinds of other fantastic technology of course they could wipe memories

Pas was Typhon

The Gods weren't mind wiped though. The gods were supposed to lead them, but they were based on highly flawed mortals, so they were assholes.

Was Maytera Marble from the old sun whorl?

Pas intended to inhabit a body on the new colony but that doesn't solve all the quandaries
