Because stated earlier by I think Jared he remered that a scientist found erosion a sphinx that could only have been caused by water and that would have happened very long ago and I mean really long ago.

Edit: Well we are not sure of that maybe the sphinx was a statue of the Forerunners most loyal animal like a dog is mans best friend.

lol I know how you feel..your mind wonders...
But someone said that the first level was on Africa I may be wrong but I dont think it is because in the trailer when Master Chief flings himself out into space isnt he going to land on that covie cruiser?
I just want to have a battle rifle in one hand and a frag nade in the other together Matches (my name) is born.

in first strike one of the spartans says that the symbols where the crystal was and on the covenent chips of writings of the forrunners looked like the sybols in ancient egypt writing that he saw in his class when he was a kid with that AI teacher. So the forruners might be the humans or they lived on earth.

sigh...
I will SHOUT the main POINTS.

ZANZIBAR is off the the coast of KENYA , which is many THOUSANDS of miles from EGYPT.

NEW MOMBASSA is also in KENYA. THOUSANDS of miles from EGYPT.
And I also checked in the Atlas, and they are there.

The Covenant MIGHT be invading New Mombassa because ITS A BIG CITY, WITH LOTS OF HUMANS.

HALO was BUILT, let alone FIRED, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS ago.

The FLOOD were released by the COVENANT, while they searched for HALO's SUPERWEAPON.

The FLOOD were also released about 100,000 years ago. HALO was fired to stop the FLOOD 100,000 years ago.

The PYRAMIDS were built about 5,000 to 6,000 years ago.

The Covenant treat the FORERUNNERS as GODS.

The COVENANT only GLASSED some parrts of Reach, so that they could get the Forerunner Artifacts.

Earth MIGHT have Forerunner Artifacts.

Ok lemme re-answer it The sphinx is usually seen near a Pyramid right? Well you asked the significance well here is my answer... Possibly the Sphinx was a statue of the Forerunners most loyal creature like a dog is mans best friend guarding the house hold just as the Sphinx gaurds its masters tomb...

Okay i was reading through "halo:the flood" now this is pretty much halo re-written, but is the first time we hear things said by prophets etc and actually see how thier "chain of command" works. Prophets are only mentioned in the fall of reach. Anyway i found this when zazamee goes to find yayap who was imprisoned

[color=orange]"The prophets have blessed this mission, and blessed this mission You, and want every soldier to know that those who transcend the living, will be welcomed into paradise"[/color]

Now this hints at one of the many egyptian beleifs of a death been a pathway to a greater paradise...

[color=red]"Egyptians believed that the thirteenth step of their symbolic life-ladder led to eternal life. They didn't look at death as the end of life, but instead as a transformation"[/color]
This part was pointed out to me by Cool_cow.

Shifty pointed out this too "the place where they travel to is knows as their Last Great Journey and they are taken to the Immortal Place"

Well sence I think that the first level of Halo 2 will be on a cruiser..I am wondering how you get down from space... I think earth defenses or Master Chief pull it down and then you bail out and then meet up with some marines. Starting that level you see in the e3 demo.

Maybe but in all the movies you only see one side of earth getting blown to hell.

So maybe the covies blitz one side of earth....which means most or all of our forces would be pulled over to help stop the invasion...so if Master Cheif saves or slows the invasion, half of the world would be saved.. Or I am way off.

first up, the first halo 2 trailer aired showed him droping from space and looks like he was gonna land on a covenant ship, now this was a teaser trailer, and they tend to not normally have content of actual storylines in them. Also it was mentioned the new mombasa map that was shown at e3 2003 etc, was not actually part of the game and was just made for the convention. So there are no facts on how he gets to earth, where he comes form. im juts going with the norm here of teaser trailers having nothign to do with the final story.

also! no evidence shows it starts near earth, mayvbe your off fighting in some other corner of the galaxy, when you get the call, and rush back to earth but alot happens on the way too. Maybe earth is one of the last places you visit? maybe you get there half way through the game, or maybe the action starts with you on earth right in the middle of a ful scale attack. no one can be certain on that, but thats not wat this thread is about :P ha ha its about, why not blow up earth and glass the son of a -blam!- out of orbit? because theres somethign on earth. and maybe the covenant dont know where, but know its in or around africa, and "she took two in the nose" maybe the ship was on its way near egypt but was shot down. i dunno

Ok... Shade the 2nd is it... listen man... I find it cool when people come up with arguments and debates... but when people dont even bother read into what they are arguing about before they post just ticks me off.... If you did happen to read any of this you would notice that we hardly even mention ZANZIBAR or NEW MOMBASA as you put it.... there are OTHER connections such as the glyphs, the strange relation between the Prophets and the ancient Egptians to name a few... read before you try to argue... thats all i ask...
I do thank you for putting much time into captilizing your key points... i could feel the "yelling"...

Sorry to butt in so late in the conversation, but I thought I would point something out. It the Covenant were causing those explosion on Earth in the teaser, you would see a plasma bombardment from ALL the carriers. Those explosion are happening on the ground, and there has been no mention in the books, nor game, of the Covenant using large explosive devices ( NUKES ) on the ground. Basically what I'm saying is, those explosion you see in the teaser are more than likely Human nukes:)
