i'm pretty sure the surpris is that the forerunners created the pyramids...
the pyramids piont to halos..... the halos have flood........ and so do the pyramids......... thats why you fight in Africa........ or thats just some
dream i had after reading the books and halo 2 forums ........
I like that idea, but there's more support for it than you mentioned. Look
at the outside of the Control Room. (two betrayals on easy will give you
a quick look) Its design is similar to a stepped pyramid. I'm not entirely
sure that the Forerunner's built the pyramids though. I think it's more
likely that the Humans built them to house Forerunner technology
left behind.
Another idea is that if the Forerunner=Humans theory is right, then
the Forerunner(humans) were stranded and built them to signal
their friends in the stars, but they were unfortunately killed by the
Flood and eventual firing of the Halo, leaving the stranded
Forerunner behind.
Either way, I think Forerunner artifacts have been on Earth since
ancient times, and many of the recent human advancements in
technology are a result of studying these artifacts.
On a slightly different note, A thread in New Mombasa popped
up discussing the Spartan-Forerunner link, and how the Spatans
intuitively knew how to use the panels. Of course it ended in a
flame war as soon as I mentioned anything that might contradict
the Forerunner=Human gospel, but I think you guys are more
mature than that.
My thought was that the Spartan technology is derived from
Forerunner artifacts found on Earth or other planets. I'm not
talking about simply armor and shielding however, I mean their
genetic upgrades, implants. . . whatever. Since the Spartans
are encoded with Forerunner "data," they might have certain
Forerunner aspects, which would explain 343GS' confusion.
It would seem that this idea supports the Forerunner=Human
theory more than anything, but people in N.M. are too eager
to Flame.
Great ideas everybody. I'm glad there's Halo speculation
that doesn't involve flames on b.net.
