So here is what happened,

A long time ago, the prophets, and the elites were at war. The prophets located a piece of forerunner technologies. With that tech they were able to form the covenant. (All this is known)

What is the great journey, how did the covenant not know that earth had humans on it?

The covenant misunderstood, its really that simple. They found this tech, translated it the best they could and they found scripture about a great journey. A journey the forerunner had to make, because they ran into (or made) the flood. It was there great journey, their salvation that the covenant read about. Those scriptures told of a planet where they would be safe, a new beginning.
The divine wind that was supposed to bring the covenant salvation was in fact the salvation of the forerunners.

And the reason that halo 05 is flooded with water, I think is because that’s where the gravemind broke out. They flooded the halo in order to slow him down. That’s why the lake isn’t a natural occurrence, the forerunners did it. That might even explain the name of the flood, the fact that the forerunners “flooded” that part trying to stop the parasite, it was written somewhere the covenant found, they thought the forerunners where talking about the parasite, when in fact they were talking about one of the ways they tried to stop it. This was suppose to be their grave, thus the gravemind.

343: After exhausting every other strategic option, my creators activated the
rings. They and all additional sentient life in a three galactic radii of the
center died...as planned. Would you like to see the relevant data?
