The Forerunners, as their name indicates, came before the other races. And in FoR and First Strike, there are reasons why there seems to be some relation between the Covenant, Humans, and Forerunners. For instance, there were coordinates embedded in the hunk of granite that MC had recovered from Sigma Octavius IV that point to Earth, as well as Reach and Threshold. Two of these locations have been discovered to be repositories each of one Forerunner artifact, Halo itself being an artifact, and Reach owning the gravity/time warping crystal. So there is some possibility of Earth having one Forerunner artifact hidden in it, as well as mankind being somewhat affected by the Forerunners.

Ok i ment to say the Humans are decendent of the Forrerunners. Ive read the books and I thought that one day until I heard this theory.

The Forrerunners are testing the Flood on Halo. Sundendly something goes wrong and they escape. A small group of forrerunners escape to Earth( because of it similarities to Halo) and lose all thier Technology. The were the aztezs. Now the Humans find HALO. In many causes the Halo world is similar to Earth. Also the Chief has the feeling that he's seen the symbols before. He was tought all about acient war civilzations. Thats why he's seen this things before. Just saying a opionion.

One big flaw in your arguement of Forerunners posing as Aztecs (or any Indian culture)... they were last seen on Halo 100,000 years ago, approximately. They would have arrived before any -blam!- Sapien had existed, and they most probably did not look like humans. The resemblance in the writing/symbols might be one of the residual effects of their visit, like a system that the American Indians found, developed, and used.

first off: MC is definately not a forerunner,as you guys have already said, and neither is any other human. If you have read the books you should know that without a doubt.

Also, I doubt that the forerunners had any previous association with Earth's current inhabitants (humans, present day animals,etc.). They MIGHT have put an artifact on/in Earth 100,000 years ago, but they certainly never met any humans. As for the symbols engraved on the granite from Sigma Octanis IV, I believe those symbols were engraved into the stone by the forerunners to point the Covenant, or anyone else, to the artifacts, one of which being Halo.

That is very much true! The Forerunners had these amazing artifacts hidden in key locations across the galaxy! The forerunners would have never met anything of civilaztion! There wasnt any form of life back then! THe gifts left by the Forerunnres are free for the taking! I dont know what happened to the forerunners though! Soemthing obviously happened to them or they would be there today! Maybe the Covenant fought them or something!?!

Thanks but there would have been life forms. just not -blam!- Sapiens. Also, the covenant have never met the forerunners. there ancient scripts say so.
