Break In Eternity Vedas Dates Rishis Mantras

If the Purana, Ithihasas are later than the Vedas, how come they are mentioned in the Vedas?

It is also stated that Viswamitra gave the world the Gayatri Mantra, to whom it was revealed.

The Rig Vedic version has one syllable short and Taittriya Aranyaka has the full detailed version.
Does this mean that before it was revealed to Viswamitra no body chanted it?
