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?
First of all, We never once! implyed in the original theory that the covenant where on earth, not once has that been said since i started the thread. I dont know WHERE you got that, but before you say something, try making sure you know what your talking about. Why would the forerunners leave maps to wherever it is they are pointing to, well a few reasons, to let people know where they are if the forerunners ever pass out of existance. I mean its not like weve remembered everything we made thousands of years ago now is it? plus the Covenant are on some quest for "paradise" and i beleive the covenant are following a trail from planet to planet that the forerunners left for them. I mean every artifact they have found has contained star maps to another planet with more forerunner stuff and more star maps, like the one they found on signus whatever and the one on reach from what ive heard (havent read the third book yet) so i mean whats not to say they found one leading them to earth, and earth is the final waypoint on thier quest for this "paradise" and it just so happens to be our home planet too so they are sort of killing two birds with one stone. anyway yes its very easy to plan out the pyramids, but using the tools they used back then? very hard to get them THAT precise, to lift those huge Blocks, would be impossible, granite or marble or whatever it was they used, was VERY VERY heavy, and blocks that big would take thousands just to move one. Now Bungie knowing this could easily apply it to a story and fill in the mysterys with the fiction of thier story, halo, by explaininf in thier FICTIONAL! story that it was the forerunners who helped create them as a way point, but didnt make them so advanced like thier technology, because they dont want us, the humans, getting thier, they want another more advanced species, the covenant, to get thier. blah blha blah, etc etc.
