Yea, I agree with RunningMan, I think there are definitely some Forerunner artifacts on Earth. This ties in with my other theory about the genetic modification on the part of the Forerunner to make the indigenous species on certain planets sentient. Maybe that's why the game takes place in Africa? Human life supposedly started there, so maybe that's where the Forerunner "genesis machine" is? Also, if you look carefully at the art in the recent Halo 2 OXM issue in the table of contents, you'll see the Chief holding a rocket launcher and looking at what appears to be a Forerunner structure rising out of the ground. And there is no ring in the background.
