Subject: Perhaps the Precursor really is the gravemind? (SPOILERS)

"Shall we let the Flood consume our holy city? Turn High Charity into another of their wretched hives? No enemy has ever withstood our might. The Flood, too, shall fail."

-Prophet of Truth.

Found something on halopedia.

Mendicant Bias was tasked with resisting the Flood by studying and exploiting the weaknesses of the first Gravemind. For forty-three years(Charum Hakkor before firing Halo?), Mendicant Bias engaged in dialogue with the Gravemind in an effort to find such weakness, sending logs of these conversations to his Forerunner masters.

Maybe the gravemind this is referring to is the Precursor? I think it would make sense because the Precursor is in fact described as a DEFORMED creatures with a spiky tail, four arms, funny head.

Flood deforms what it infects.

Discuss.

Error 404:

Well...
I would guess they're similar, perhaps but maybe not the same.
Interesting idea, though.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

It certainly adds up, since the fate of the Precurosr is left ambiguous it's very much possible that he became the Gravemind.

the 43 years u refer to are the years that the halo ring and MB went missing and the gravemind convinced MB to help him aquire more knowledge and so he destroyed the forerunner race with the halo rings and is heard in references in the halo 3 game in terminals.
assuming u believe this i offer you my opinion once again that the humans captured the gravemind and that the humans were precursors and explaining why they could interact with it and defeat the flood and activate precursor technology. also explains why covanant thought human planets always hand precursor relics and their technology was blashpmous.
