Subject: Why does everything happen in Africa?

Well, I think the Mombasa and Zanzibar thing are there because if you read the little summary on he multiplayer map "Zanzibar" it says something about people trying to re colonize or something along the lines of it. It's so populated because of people moving there or something.

according to bungie's story of the halo universe we are the descendants of the forerunner, they dont say it exactly but it can be assumed because all forerunner technology needs human hands to activate, and since Africa is globally believed to be the beggining of intelligent human life they placed the ark there. since the ark is the only sanctuary from the blast of the halos thats the only place humans could survive. therefore, once the halos were activated human life "began" again at the site of the ark in Africa once they came out and repopulated.

Noah's Ark in the Bible was what saved him and the animals from the flood everyone else just died cuz god was punishing them so it doesent really make sense that the ark would kill every one


That's why the theory that everyone in (or possibly around) the ark survives, while everyone around them is eventually consumed by the Flood.

If you're swimming in a creek, and an eel bites your feet - that's a moray.

If you think about it, in year 25xx it's highly unlikely that anything buried under the Earth's surface would remain hidden (at least anything that large), so for it to remain hidden it would necessarily have to be in an area under-developed, which Africa has historically been (despite its ties to early human development).

Regardless, this is essentially pointless, and I'm going back to wanking to the teaser.

This nonsensical speculation is nothing but dirty, dirty shizno.

The birthplace of humanity was the fertile crescent, in the middle east. And, if you are referring to Noah's Ark, its believed to be near Mt. Ararat, Turkey- not africa.

It's because that Africa is supposed to be the Cradle of the Humanity...
But if you would go farther... Noah's Ark is supposed to be from Atlantis...

Make a research on the Emerald Tablet(s)... from Thoth or Hermes (Mercury).
He is the one who (supposely) made the Great Pyramid...

Maybe africa just happens to be where the old forerunners lived and created thier own enviroment . but heck I don't know maybe africa is lucky.

That's because the original covenant expeditionary forces were trying to land there and take it real quick like. That obviously didn't go well so now they are going in with full force.

Supposedly, the human race evolved in a valley (I Belive) near Mambassa. This gives Bungie a location to have the Ark.

I don't know about any theories or anything but what I got was earth is the arc entirely and when cortana says earth is destroyed maybe it just blows away all the dirt and rock and becomes the "arc" and ends all human inhabitants lifes. Thats my thoughts.

Africa is where al life began... in the cradle of life... which i suspect is codename or something for Ark.

New and old mombassa, Zanzibar, and now this, does Bungie love that place or what!


Everybody on the Bungie staff is a closset Rastafarian using their works to advertise Marcus Garvey's back to Africa movement.... Oh how well they hide their dreads....

In the bible, Noah was told by God(The Forerunners) to build a large ark. In this ark was a large ammount of animals. The FLOOD that God sent upon the Earth was going to kill everyone. Noah built the ark to avoid death....

So to translated from Biblic terms: The Reclaimers wanted to live from the Flood, which the Forerunners accidently released upon the world. The Forerunners built the "Ark" Which I believe relates to Noah's Ark, and the Arc of the Covenent which hold the Ten Commandments. So that is where we get the Covenent from the arc, and Africa is where Noah was believed to land his arc on the 40th day of the great FLOOD.

I going to say that there is a connection somehow with Noah's arc, and the earthly arc, the halo universe flood, and the flood which was God's wrath, and so on, i wouldnt be supprised if somehow this flood ends up on earth in astronomical numbers and the only way to destroy them is by activating the Arc, everyone around the arc or w/e survives and everyone else gets pwned. :)

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

Its the motherland.
