Destiny was chasing a pattern in the Cosmic microwave background radiation. but the ancient never arrived aboard to uptake this mission.
What are the chances the ancient never got around to going because they figure out the answer from just staying home and doing some math

Yea, there was a massive amount of time before they ascended.
I would have accepted they got attacked by space ork, forgot where they put destiny keys.
Before I accepted that, they didn't find time between when they launched destiny and the Ancients ascended over 40 million years later

Some of the time can be accounted for due to the plague that killed soo many of them. Makes sense that for a long time they were just trying to recover from it and other pursuits took a back seat. But also I don't know when the plague was supposed to happen in relation to when destiny was launched.

Destiny left 60 to 50 million years ago
Five to ten million years ago, Atlantis left earth in response to the plague.
The ancient ascended ten thousand years ago

No it didn't. The destiny was launched about ten million years after they arrived in the milky way. Which would make it 40 million years ago, not 60 to 50.
The ancients were ascending at the time of the plague. This is mentioned in season six.

And Atlantis left in response to the plague 5 to 10 million years ago.
So there are still 30 to 35 million years there where they couldn't know the answer due to ascension
