I got tired of reading Chaplain's thread dismissing any ideas other than what he sees as fact, when it really is only how he interprets it.
You can theorize all you want, yes Chap that's right, I said theory, you gonna throw a fit now? The quote taken from the Maw is "You can't imagine how exciting this is! To have a record of all of our lost time! Human history, is it? Fascinating."
You can INTERPRET this to mean that Forerunner history is human history, but that's an extreme stretch compared to another way to interpret it. It's not fact or solid proof of anything cause it could also mean this:
343 has been stuck alone on Halo for many many years, with no outside knowledge or interference. When he pilfers through the PoA database, he learns about things that have been happening outsie of Halo. He calls it Human history because he's in a HUMAN database and therefore what he is learning would be referred to as Human.
It's the same as if I never knew anything that happened outside my house my entire life, then I pick an American history book and say "Wow, a record of all our lost time, American History is it?"
