What if the Forerunners were Atlantians? As the story goes the people of Atlantis were very powerful but this was brought to a halt as there gods grew angry sending plagues onto there Island. Eventually the island was swallowed by the ocean. What if this plague was the flood? (Where the flood are now I don’t know) The flood would have forced the Forerunners off of our planet this would also explain why there are human things like plants and animals on Halo. I mean if you are going to move wouldn’t you bring some thing to make you less home sick? Also the assumed location of Atlantis is off the coast of Africa were MC happens to be…

Wrong coast though. They are closer to some of the ancient temples in the Congo, or even the Pyramids, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility.

That would mean there would be flood locked away on earth... too farfetched in my opinion.

Why can't the flood be locked away on Earth?

I don't think so. Think about it. The flood might have been some ancient race that predated humans. The forerunners set them loose accidentally and were attacked. The Forerunners then escaped and contained the flood. The flood are locked away on the Halos and on the sunken Island of Atlantis.

Well. Atlantis doesn't exist. It's just a myth. No one has found it and if they havn't found it by 2552 then it probably doesn't exist. Now we have submarines and advanced sonar, imagine what they will have then.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

First off let me say... Big time props to you Cypriss for thinking of this. Now THIS is an original thought. Historians argue where Atlantis was/is. Homer placed it in the middle of the Atlantic, though historial reference looking for something of an island being sunk claim that it could have been a Greek island in the Aegean that was sunk by a volcano and also possibly in the America's. In the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribieenan(?), there are signs of streets or pathways underwater, that suggest an ancient roadway, though it has sunk into the water. Now about the Flood, they could have been on earth, why not. The only question is how did they get here, unless we take in the consideration that the Forerunner's made them by accident. Like an experiment gone horribly wrong. As we have done in our past, we create many a chemical weapons by accident. Another question is why did they, (the Flood), not spread to the other parts of the world? Now we can argue 3 possible courses of actions. One, the Forerunner are just damn good at containing them, two they did not have the means of navigating such a distance over water, (though they are very intelligent so I doubt this one), and three, that they DID escape onto the mainlands but were quickly taken care of. I don't think the Flood are on Earth, personally if the Forerunner were from Atlantis then they may have contained the Flood and fearing an outbreak took them with them off the planet. Hence the reason for the Halos. Once again this is all speculation and I must say an interesting topic.

Still, we haven't found that Forerunner installation under the Earth either.

Waterworks was based off of that hidden installation, wherever on Earth it was.

Maybe the Atlantians took the Island with them and replicated it in the form of Halo *gasp*. Ok, I gotta admit that was super-extra far-fetched. The truth is, sadly, there are a lot better theories that make a lot more sense then this one. There is one thing really wrong with this one: you didn't explain what happened to the Flood after the Atlantians left, you're not saying we evolved from them, are you? And if the Atlantains escaped, they must've rushed things since they brought the Flood with them to Halo.

Go with my theory that the flood are an ancient species predating man and the covenant.

Ok dude read the other posts because they build on the theory. I said that the flood were locked up under water at atlantis. As for why the forerunners took the flood with them. It was probably unintentional. A couple of infectious forms got on one of their ships and the forerunners had to contain them all over again.

Good theory man... very plausable... anyway just to add on, the Atlantians were said to have "small beams of light so hot that could melt through metal" to me maybe it was an early stage of Plasma Weaponry... they use primitive structures but layed them out very carefully, in a circular pattern. (ie lower class on the outer while getting larger and more important as you moved towards the center of the city)

On a Pyramid related thing... if the Atlantians were in fact the Forerunner than perhaps they placed the Pyramids with the same care how ever many years in the furture (a bit farefetched but everything lately has been farfetched)
Hope that helps

Shifty saves the day! thanks to his "small beams of light that could burn through metal" thing he made this theory a bit more plausable. While all this "locked up under water" thing is pretty good, and the atlantians were essentially the Forerunners, then why are the Covenenant looking in Egypt when Atlanta was completely somehwere else?

Shifty, why on Earth would the Atlantians come back to Earth and place Pyramids? To point the Flood in the right direction? "Hey, Flood guys, we're placing this pyramid here, it's supposed to point towards Halo, come and get us!" To me that just fails to make sense.
