So...my last post was useless then. You know it's going to get lost amongst all of your "Come on page 10!" business. I would flame lightly, but I'm enjoying how well this thread has been getting along. Is anyone up and working on this anymore?

Hello I am back every one, and last night i was watching South Park (This does have a point) and I was thinking, Why don't we look into other civilations not only western ones. Things like Indian, Arab, Mongolin, Chinese, Japanes, South pacific Islands, Incan peopel and Native Americans (Including Aztecs and Mians) If we can not find any information linking any of these to Halo 2 then we know Halo 2 is only based on greek/roman myths and legend. And when we find that out we can look furth in one area or locate the exact story in the greek myths to find the plot of Halo 2 by peacing together diffrent legends.

The reason we're not going to look into the history of every civilization on earth is because 1. It's not practical, and 2. We should only be looking at civilizations that we have direct links to. I'm talking about actual NAMES that have shown up on ILB that we can associate with Roman and Greek history. Until we see Kan-xib-yui's name show up, we should stay away from Mayan history. Let's not make this messy.

perhaps there will be a video of a different interactive trailer in the special editon of OXM, like were it shows earth being defeated then finally it gives you the chance to some small interaction to save earth and like a really cool video from HALO 2.

We can keep this flameless if people (i.e. woongsin) don't use caps... and if we looked into all those other culutres, we would find something that seems like it could be Halo 2 related... but it wouldn't be, as there are so many ancient cultures it would just be sheer coincidence. Looking into things that deep isn't the way to go.

Don't post to keep it alive... that's bumping and will surely get this thread closed... Mod's don't care if it was an incredible thread, if it is bumped just once, they will close it...

I don't know if anyone has said anything or not about this. I like this idea, though it may just be coincidence. The man who betrayed Ceasar was a man named Brute. Everyone else had betrayed Ceasar, though Julius thought that Brute, a personal friend of his, hadn't. Brute was the man who literally stabbed Ceasar in the back. If I remember right, before his death he had been talking about the people that had betrayed him. Thats why he said "Et tu Brute?" Oh well...I don't know, but this is very interesting stuff

Yeah... in the play he is Brutus.. and when ceaser says "Et tu Brute" it is pronounciated "Bruti"

But... in a related note... Ceasar was the emperor and they tryed to crown him king and he denied the crown, although everyone in Rome thought he accepted himself as king, and they did not want a king, so they revolted. This may play into theories that the humans are the forerunner, but they do not accept the "crown" of this titile from the covenent, as the humans have forgotten their forrunner past. So, the covenenty fight against these humans, as they look like the forerunners, but they do not accept the role of the forerunners. And... as to ceasers people revolting against him... in the XOM3 vid... it says something about miranda strapping a bomb to the chiefs back and pushing him down a whole... seems very ceasarish. But, this is nothing, mostly just to spur conversation and thoughts in this thread.

I also think that maybe it is the Brutes who might betray the Prophet but listen here. In the books how does it describe the Brutes intellect? If I remember right they are "obiediant" and "stupid". Think here. To betray something that you've served would require an ounce of cunning to say the least. And from what the book said, I don't think that the Brutes have it. But what if, and this is just speculation, the Brutes were doing orders? In the book it says that the Prophets disliked the Elites, if memory serves me correct. Well, if their was such dislike why were the Elites in such high position? The Prophets must have trusted them. Well I dont remember how the Elites feel about the Prophets, but what if they got tired of them? And what if, they had access to tell the Brutes orders? The Brutes would be the Elites weapons.

I don't really know what Im saying anymore. This is just a speculation...

Maybe so, but I remember reading that the Brutes and Elites were not best of friends because they both saw themselves as the top of the social caste system. Look into Hindu culture... India before British conquest had a caste system... wonder what we can find that is halo-esque.

I don't think we will be able to find out alot pertaining to ancient cultures like the romans until Bungie releases alot more info on Halo 2.
