I said this in the other big topic (The hint hidden in the first published halo ad, pg. 34). Just wanted to let you know I said this earlier.
And to the person that said it is on the wrong coast it isnt. New Mombasa is on the coast of the Indian ocean I know they say that Atlantis is in the Atlantic ocean but to ancient Egyptians the water all around Africa was the Atlantic ocean so it is very plausible.

I beleive the forerunners are the lost Egyiptian civilization rather than Atlantians. Considering the other theory about the pyramids and Halo 2's plot taking place in Africa.

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.

Maybe not to point the flood in the right derection but us in the right direction. Just incase we one day need to use the Halos.

The Atlantians or Forerunners may have had nothing to do with the pyramids. Maybe the Covies are just after Atlantis. I've also seen some other posts saying that the Covenant arent just attacking Africa in Halo 2 but maybe they are not even postitive where Atlantis is so they are searching for it. Sounds good to me.

this is a great idea...Halo 2 doesn't take place in JUST Africa, y'know...it starts there, but I have my doubts that the earth fighting is just on Africa. Cypriss is really on to something with this whole Atlantis thing. It would be a perfect place to seal off the flood...it's underwater, after all, at the bottom of the ocean where the extreme pressure would easily kill a Flood if it got out...unless it infested a fish that could survive the depth...
oh, the possibilties...

It might not take place entirely in Africa but considering the planet is being glassed when the Master Chief arrives (Announcement Trailer) The fact that the Covenant are invading New Mombasa while they are still glassing the rest of the planet means something must be there.

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

This could go along with the other big theory out there about the pryimids and the Forerunner. Maybe the Flood pluaged(??) Atlantis and in a last ditch attempt to contain them they built the pyrimids to contain them then left and built the HAlos.
