I have seen the powers at hand and I can honestly say I am not ready

Some one could have already posted this but what if the glyphs are just a memorial to the fallen Elites?

Placed by who? And why would they be placed next to the Beacons, on the SI core or in supply cache's?

stop at 0:41 and look at the platform and that is after they made the big hole so the elites could not have made them so i am leaning to the engineers making them!!!


If you look the glyphs are all over the SI room. More evidence showing that there is a connection between the SI, engineers, and glyphs.

Once again, this may sound stupid but as you know the stonehenge areas make a v, if you make it a Y, maybe you should check the areas that the SI is in on the glyphs... its worth a shot looking for other glyths and doors in them areas...


just an idea

Where there is smoke, there is fire. Or a smoke machine.

Reffering back to the "stonehenge" nothing is there while in the day. I'm out of the map and i'm there with two of my friends. I will post pics but i'll not share it because someone WILL take credit. I'll show the people who i think i can trust though.

The two medals that you are referring to are getting five sticks and getting ten sticks in a row without dying. Trust me. I have all of the medals for Halo 3: ODST.

Battle Ship is a kind of board game where each player (2) has a laptop kind of thing which has holes on assigned coordinates (including 1A, 2B, all the way up to 10-J) and each player takes turns trying to guess the enemy navy's coordinates, and marks those areas on their little laptop board.

I think DJamesB might be on to something!

Placed by the Elites that made it out alive? I really don't know. I am just throwing things out.

I was just thinking like how humans would make a makeshift cross when they buried a fellow soldier ya know...this could be the Elites way of doing that...I dunno.

You really are sad arent you lol? And back on topic, we must be on to something because in threads like secret of sandtrap and the one about finding recon, bungie employees had posted by now, both of those were fake a busted. This one isnt.

on a note of where glyphs have been seen before, i have another thought. anyone whos played halo wars should remember the very last mission. the three sets of gates each have glyphs on them. not sure if they are the same or at all relevant(most likely not), but it might be a good reference point.

Just put a watermark on it with your username or a site or something.

Yeah, but some of the glyphs seem to be placed overnight, for example the ones at the BELIEVE graffitti. I'm placing my bets on the Engineers.

I believe it is a ceremonial thing placed by the Elites

But why would they appear overnight? Are there still Elites left, in hiding? They're not really the types to hide. And why are the Engineers around the glyphs so often?
Just check out the screens in this thread. If the Elites made them, it wouldn't make sense for the symbols to be on the SI core, or to contain the SI face.
