And maybe all the gods egyptians beleaved in are forerunners?


weve implied that already because the covenants religion is ver similar to what egyptians beleived "Thos who transcend the physical wil be welcomed into paradise" thats a qoute from an elite who was mentioning something the prophets said when going into battle. This is very similiar to egyptian religion, who see death as a transformation.
Sorry I haven't read all the post yet :(


Dont worry, its cool, getting the same posts from different people is good. it shows that if more than one person can come up with same theorys sorta, then its not too far from the truth right?

Here, I used the good ole MS Paint and pointed thing out... I hope you guys see it too

http://img31.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img31&image=AfricaHalo2_Sh ifty.jpg

Notice the Pyramids.... I most certainly think that is Egypt, I know the Nile once ran (still does today) between Cairo and Giza but even now adays they are steadily closing together (who knew Discovery could help with Halo)... but who knows in 500 years maybe there wont even be a Nile... anyways there is also a ring or something behind the Moon... "WTF is that" on the image... I'm not saying its a Halo cause that would be pretty FUBAR if you ask me...

Red is gunna post hs version up soon enough (you will notice that we have totally different views lol)

Heres the link to the Map i used for refrencences...
http://go.hrw.com/atlas/norm_htm/egypt.htm

Feel free to state feedback or maybe even another possible location where this could be...

See what i honestly think is that the humans ARE the forerunners but niether side knows it yet... Or maybe the covenant do know but feel threatened by the humans/forerunners... To me forerunners sound human related some how...

I think the covenant are looking for another crystal thing like they found on reach... I think that the covenant are trying to take it away from the humans so that they dont figure out they are the forerunners... like the crystal is some kind of key to the forerunner power

I went to the link of where you edited the pcture in paint. Everything looks very accurate except for the ring. I'm pretty sure that's just the shine from the sun. It's tough to explain but doyou get what I'm talking about?

I hope that later in the game you have to stop the covies from glassing the planet by infiltrating a ship and planting a nuke. Then there should be a kickass movie of the ships blowing up.

in halo 1 they sayd that the best way to innialate the intire flood was to starve them to death, so if they are locked up in the pyramids for more then 3000 years in 2552, they'd probably be dead already.

the flood might have survived becouse of that!!

OMG I KNEW IT ITS EAST AFRICA!. EGYPT! THE FORERUNNER BUILT THE PYRAMIDS!
I think that the pyramids instead of pointing to stars, they are pointing to all of the halos.

ok this might be stupid but... there could of been life on earth before humans, and the other species started the war(the 900,000 year war that guy in the documentry was talking about) with the covenent, and the covenent ultra blasted the planet causing the "big bang" killing everything(before they blasted the planet the put a shrine in the center of the earth that did something). the covenent left not knowing that the planet would repopulate. the humans accediently discoverd the covenent( humans looking like the other species) and then they wanted to attack earth a second time to get rid of them...there


thats actually what I meant to say by my whole theory, but i just didnt have it explained as well.

I think we're all forgetting one very important fact....Halo, and Halo 2 are just videogames...Though trying to figure out the story line is interesting, while reading the posts, i started getting real life confused with the games...I do have to agree with you though RedLeader, i think the pyramids may house Forerunner technology. I also have some ideas on the pyramids on the alignment and names of the constellations and stars...
Sorry if i popped any of your imaginative bubbles...

If you ask me, this whole theory isnt very likely for a few reasons:

A: If the covies had been to earth so long ago, why the hell would they have been unable to find it for so long durig the war?

B: I dont think Bungie would throw something like the pyramids into the game, since they have a real life explanation and that would just make the game seem silly... The pyramids were made fpr pharoas so that they would be remembered, and they were built by slaves, and the calculations to design them are actually quite simple. There is so much evidence that the pyramids were built by humans, alone, that to claim otherwise in the story would just annoy a lot of people.

C:Why, exactly, would the forerunners need big piles of rock to point at the halos? Can't they remember were they left them by themselves?

its like on that show Stargate SG-1 where the bad aliens made the pyramids and they looked low tech but were the most high tech devices on the planet(different but it would be a good reason for the Covies not wanting to glass earth and they know the forerunners built them)

Dear Annoying Flamer,

Thess theories my not be even relatively right. And most of us realize that. The thing is we are just entertaining ourselves because it'll be several months before the all powerful sequel comes out. Another thing, no, the Forerunner can not remember where the Halo's are because ummm.....oh, let's see...oh that's right......THEY'RE DEAD! As far as we know the Forerunner are dead, gone, seizing to exist. So shut up and stop flaming our intersting post that we put tons of hard work into and lots of thought. SHUT YOUR GOD DAMN MOUTH AND IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH WHAT WE'RE SAYIN EITHER START ANOTHER TOPIC OOOORRR.......BUTT OUT!
