As we all should know, under new mombasa was the portal generator to the ark. So, the obelisks the engineers were putting the symbols on were just a... a... Prerequisite to opening the portal. Much like pushing the on button on anything.
It's hard to say why are the glyphs on the Henge. However, it is safe to say that they are there because of the dead eites, and to show respect to their death, not because of the Oirtal. At least there's no proof for it.
We also know the covenant were obsessed about the Forerunners, and have gotten almost everything possible out of them (Religion anyone?). So, the symbols were forerunner symbols.
Though the symbols are never seen before in Halo lore, yes, they are Forerunner in way or another.
here's where I'm going with this. The SI tapped into the forerunner tech, which is why the engineers (being forerunner hybrids, are highly attuned to forerunner tech.
The engineers were already attuned to it, because it was Forerunners that created the Engineers.
so, with SI having tapped into the tech, It's left an imprint in it. So the Engineers have began "pasting" SI's face on their symbols.
I don't think SI "tapped" into the tehc; Infact, I believe it never touched the Portal Installation. Also, the Engineers started using the SI face presumably when Vergil fused with SI, and somehow informed other Engineers about the Face.
The music would tell you that the Obelisks are active.
No proved connection with Music and Squidhenge.
Now, with the dissapearing Barriers, it could be the fact that the portal is a whole through space, and thus has caused "rifts", which make the barriers either appear invisible, or, they've been thrown out into space somewhere.
LOL. Are you talking about the Barries that ColdGlider talked abot in his article? They dissappear just because of the wild nature of the game engine: Random loadings and stuff, you know.
Now for all I know, If there is an easter egg, it could have the effect of, I don't know, causing the strange covie weapons to spawn, or an army of sentinels just, plain and simpl, destroy everything in the city. I don't know. Just a theory.
That actually made my day.
EDIT: I just read the person saying "could Bungie just tell us before reach, and that got me thinking. If my theory is wrong, then perhaps this mystery is actually, a mystery made throughout the whole series. perhaps there will be even more stuff in Halo: Reach. Who knows? Bungie (possibly) does.
I've been thinking the same. The Register Plate Egg showed tha there was co-operation between the teams of ODST and Reach. It could be that some other things, too, are somehow related to Reach.
That would be totally awesome.

I would think look on the map and see if the map makes a Y shape somewhere. Look at where the lines intersect maybe
Like this? I've already mentioned this.
