Brutes found Harvest while looking for Forerunner artifacts. When they told the Prophets about the Humans, the Prophets asked the "Oracle" in the Forerunner Dreadnought(the ship from H2 and H3) about the Humans. When they found out that we were Reclaimers they thought we were Forerunners that were left behind after the Great Journey started. To protect their religion, the Prophets of Truth, Regret, and Mercy declared war on Humanity. That is how the war started.
Yeah all this. The Prophets told the Elites that humans were heretics who had destroyed Forerunner Relics on Harvest rather than handing them over to the Prophets. In the Covenant, only the Prophets could handle Relics, if anyone else did something with a Forerunner Relic without permission it was considered heresy. The only Covenant to know about the first contact with humans were the three Prophets and Tartarus.
