Subject: Mammoths, Megalodon, Moa, and other extinct creatures

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

I was thinking since Cryptum takes place 100,000+- BC, shouldn't there be many extinct animals on Earth (and soon on the Ark) such as:
Wooly Mammoths
Sabertooth Tigers
Moa (Earth variant)
Megalodon

So ancient human society was a bit on the wild side, can you imagine ancient human ships crossing the ocean and having to deal with Megalodon?

Probably extinct because of the reason they did went extinct... climate change, lack of food, and/or hunted to extinction.

They didn't become extinct till well after 100,000 BC. Especially for the mammoth.

Sorry, that might of been a little confusing. But I mean after the rings were fired, and the galaxy was repopulated. Thats probably what happened... Ancient humans killed off species, or Climate change, and lack of food.
Probably same thing that happened to Riser and his "species" of humans.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

Everything that has happened in our history was probably what happened after the Halos were fired, primitive man hunted most species to extinction or allowed the climate change to do so.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

The only thing is the forerunners weren't even sure that earth was humanity's homeworld (which i say is a large red flag).

And taking into consideration the difference in atmosphere, extremely dangerous wildlife, i doubt it was also.

As of today scientist are finding more and more evidence that man were around during the ice age. even then they had large empires, and structures that we couldn't replicate with that precision today. so obviously something isn't adding up.

10,000 BC much? Although I kind of agree.

also humans appeared 200,000 years ago. ancient humanity was around 100,000 years ago


And it had to take a few hundred years if not thousands of years for them to be advanced as they were since they were on the same level as the forerunners.

so, the forerunners accidentally put the humans on the wrong planet?

Friends before pixels.

Holy hell.

Just imagine if that lake had been filled with ultra-sensitive Megalodon.

*shudders*
