I just sent this theory to bungie.org and gave em a link to this thread. Here is what I wrote:
This is a theory about the Forerunners. OK, we all know of the strange symbols the books talk about all the time, and we all know how Halo 2 is taking place in Africa. Now what is there in Africa that we can connect with strange symbols? Egypt (Hieroglyphics being the strange symbols)! And what are in Egypt that are very famous? Pyramids! Now, aren't historians at a loss as to how pyramids were built, because even now it would take a lot of work (and time) to build something like that? And they were created thousands of years ago! Maybe they are works of the Forerunners. Now, I also remember reading somewhere how pyramids point to certain stars. Maybe they point to Halos or other Forerunner facilities! And, now, going for the more far - fetched and less supported theory, maybe Earth is used as a storage planet for the Flood, and they remain hidden under the pyramids! Now, the Covenant don't know this, but they could recognize pyramids as Forerunner facilities. Which means that they would not glass Earth, but rather invade it, take what they find out of the pyramids, and then glass it! But, when they find the Flood, they are scared and run off, and we are left to deal with them, while still looking for a way to destroy the Covenant! So, what do you think? This by the way was discussed at the Bungie Forums, and can be reached here (I'm DualWieldinFreak, but it was mainly Cool_Cow and RedLeader's idea ).
