To me, Salem's comments about being 'remannts of a forgotten time' are a reference to her and Ozpin's origins. I maintain that they are the last survivors of a prior epoch of human civilisation that was annihilated by the Creatures of Grimm, reducing humans to barbaric hunter-gatherers with their true histories reduced to distorted myths.

If I'm right, then you can only wonder what their civilisation might have once been capable of, given that this would make them both thousands of years old and (based on Ozpin's recent feat) apparently unkillable.
