Hey...I was reading about the Nazca Lines...the article said that some scientists think that the ancient people may have built them as landing zones or maps for aliens...it's just a thought...

I'll be on my own side.

hey thats true,the Nazca Lines maybe are by the Forerunners?? just another wild,over the top,not even close theory

Well...say they are landing zones or maps...they are in Peru....weren't the ancient Incas in Peru?...didn't they build pyramids?....didn't bungie say there could be a jungle warthog?...what if the attack in east africa was just to throw off the whole planet so they could send a new small team of special forces elites to Peru?...huh?...i don't know....but it sounds kind of convincing to me....and yes i know the pyramids are in the jungles and the Nazca lines are in the desert but i mean it's still in Peru...just an idea.

a small littletid bit I found that's somewhat on topic-
Heiroglyph comes from the Greek words Heiro meaning "Sacred" and glyph meaning "Inscripton"
The traditional Egyptian name fore Heiroglyph is medu netjer or "Words of the Gods"
Sounds familiar doesnt it. We know that Elites have these "Sacred Inscriptions" etched onto their armour and the Prophets have them etched on their head peices... and we know how religous they cane be...
Just a small find really... but still a find none the less

another small tidbit(its almost like a palindrome) is that the three pyramids of giza used to align perfectly with three stars in the universe.

Good point, this could help with the theory that's somethings up in Egypt and Greece with the forerunners. They passed their langue onto the Greeks and Egyptians, like they did to the covies.

we're forgetting a ton of other stuff on the earth: natural wonders of the earth, stuff that's yet to be explained, etc. they could all be tied in with forerunner architecture and civilisation. any ideas?

Thanks for giving me some interesting reading over the past few days. I have really ejoyed reading all of these theories.
I was thinking of something Mombasa is on the coast of the Indian ocean so maybe the Covies are looking for the Lost Continent of Atlantis. In his work Plato talks about a technologically advanced city and some people theorize it is the beginning of human life on earth and if its a ancient Forerunner city it would make humans the ancestors of the Forerunners. I have been thinking about this for a couple of days and it seems plausible the only problem is people say Atlantis was in the Atlantic ocean but the ancient Atlantic ocean included the water all around Africa. Maybe Atlantis was a city built by the Forerunners and the Covies want any and all technology left behind in the city. Maybe............. Its just speculation. Thanks for listening to my thoughts.

Sorry, didnt get much sleep last night so my thoughts a little jumbled together.

I didn't see that. Altering the flow of thought, just how much do we know about the power of the each weapon in the whole halo universe?
This is noobie ignorance on display.

Dr Arnulfo Martinez is thrilled to be involved in an experiment which is crossing the boundaries between physics and archaeology.

He points at one rocky wall. "You see this? This is original plaster - you can see the fingerprints of the people who layered it there.


Welcome to the lab: A tent underground
"What's exciting is that we are using cosmic debris to uncover an ancient Mexican mystery.

"The building of this place is very linked to who we are. What's important is that people get excited about science because of these kinds of projects."

It will take more than a year before any tangible results are obtained.

But then Teotihuacan, the "City of the Gods", has kept its secrets for more than two millennia. The world will have to wait just a little bit longer.

city of the gods has 13 words!
I think the other one i think red leader said had 13 words!
People have talked about this b4 and also have mentioned that egyptians thought of earth as a house of three gods!!!!
egypt and mexico are on an exact straight horizontal line to each other and giza (burial thing) Teotihuacan, (the City of the Gods) !!! And if antarctcia would be number three, and if you link thse points up it makes a giant "7" across the earth!!!!. ILL checka map of antarctica for place names with 13 words! I think this adds to the theory a little!

Antarctica Geology
I found a place called vinson massif, and is the highest peak there! not 13 words though
With crystalline air and ancient ice, Antarctica is Earth’s harshest land.
Most visitors to Antarctica glimpse only fragments of the actual continent. Antarctica is 98% covered with ice and it is sometimes difficult to remember that there is rock lying below the tons of ancient frozen water.

However, scientists have managed to study the continent and have drawn some interesting observations and conclusions about this land covered with ice.

Antarctica is the world’s fifth largest continent, with an area of 5.9 million square miles. It is almost twice the size of Australia or Europe and three-quarters the size of South America. The continent is roughly shaped like a comma with its tail pointing towards South America. The comma tail and its root are generally referred to as West Antarctica and the main body of the comma is usually called East Antarctica. Geologists have determined that the underlying rocks and sediment of East Antarctica are a stable platform of sedimentary rocks, heavily metamorphosed and over-laid with younger sediments. The western side of the continent is a complex of folded and metamorphosed sediments, mostly of volcanic origin. Visitors can most clearly see this structure in the mountains of the Antarctic Peninsula. Interestingly, East and West Antarctica evolved in different ways and only came together relatively recently in geological terms. The mountains of the Trans-Antarctic Range separate the two sides of the continent.

The rocks of East Antarctica are among the oldest found on the planet. Many of the rocks found here are at least 3 billion years old. The oldest rock discovered on Earth came from Enderby Land in 1986 and is estimated to be 3.86 billion years old. In contrast, the rocks on Western Antarctica are relatively new: 700 million years old on average.

The continent fits within the polar circle, which is a circular line drawn 23 degrees 27’ from the South Geological Pole. (A distance of 1618 miles). The polar circle cuts through the Antarctic Peninsula, leaving the northern end of the peninsula and the South Shetland Islands north of the polar circle.

Antarctica contains some very large mountains. Interestingly, much of the mass of these mountains is actually buried beneath the massive ice accumulations. The highest mountain on the continent is Vinson Massif with a peak of 16,859 feet. This mountain is part of a cluster of mountains in the Eternity Range on the Western side of Antarctica.

Active volcanoes are found in three locations on Antarctica: the western Ross Sea, Western Antarctica and along the Antarctic Peninsula. These are truly active volcanoes and the probability that a major eruption could occur at any time in Antarctica is high. In the Ross Sea region, much of the activity occurs along the front of the Trans-Antarctic Range, although a number of small volcanic vents have been detected beneath the sea itself. High in the Transantarctic Mountains of northern Victoria Land are the Pleidas, a set of very young volcanic domes which first erupted about 1000 years ago. Mt. Melbourne is near Terra Nova Bay and has steaming ground at its summit and an ash layer that indicates that it erupted less than 200 years ago.

In Marie Byrd Land on West Antarctica, Mt. Berlin is considered an active volcano. Aerial studies seem to indicate depressions in the nearby ice, which might indicate an ongoing eruption beneath the ice of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet from this volcano. In the Peninsula region, Deception Island is a volcanic island complete
Terra nova bay also means something! ill check
Snow hog goes here maybe!

Another outstanding feature of Antarctica is its average elevation, the sum of all its heights divided by its surface. Antarctica is the highest of all seven continents, with a mean of 2,050 metres
2 + 0 + 5 + 0 = 7
7 continents

ORIGIN OF THE ANTARCTIC: Scientists believe that the Antarctic continent is one of the oldest units of a much larger landmass whose position on Earth has varied through past geological periods. This theory is based on the discovery in Antarctica of plant fossils (ferns and beech trees) and vertebrates (reptiles and amphibians) common to Africa, India and South America. There is also evidence of similarities between geological structures in Antarctica and Australia, Africa and South America, and glacier traces in all continents that can only be explained by the existence of a common continental mass.

The cause(s) of the huge accumulation of ice over Antarctica is still not completely understood, though it is considered to be related to the drift of the continent to its present position, and to past global climatic changes. What is almost certain is that the ice sheet began to form on the eastern side of the continent about 20-25 million years ago, after Antarctica moved away from temperate regions. After several phases of glacier advance and retreat, the ice sheet reached its maximum extent about 18,000 year ago, when much of Canada and Europe was also ice-coverd.
