Why would you post that you can 'prove it' when you clearly didnt. I, however, can prove it...

Here is why the artifact is NOT the ark:
Q

What was that crazy huge dome buried under Earth?

A

We're not saying, but Halo fans may recognize something about its design.

(taken from the halo 3 announcement FAQ on bungie.net)
How would we recognise the ark?
We havent seen it before, we have NO info on what it looks like. We dont even know if it has the similar trademark look of all the other forerunner structures.
This building could be one of many things, a library, a phase-pulse generator type thing, one of the beacons from the level 'halo' in halo:ce, even a quarantine zone.
But i dont think its the ark.

As JollyRoger said. In fall of reach the covenant were looking for the Key artifact.

As i capped that K i mean the artifact the so called "Ark" by 343 is the key to unlocking the power of earth. Also please use proper grammar cause we can't understand your gibberish the person who made this post. But back on topic i think the key that is the ark but the key going to Earth which is the gun to unlock the Ark?

OH crap!!!! that could mean that in "First Strike" the Crystal that DR. Halsey destroyed could be the key...that would make sence because in the end of that book the Prophet said " this may just be enough" meaning that it MIGHT be the Key!!!

ok guys now lets think about this. Why would Bungie show you the main attraction of the final game in an Announcement trailer? they wouldnt. they would want to keep it a secret and only reveal it when the game is released to suprise everyone. seriously guys its an announcement trailer dont take it so serious. wait until gameplay trailers to start picking things apart. im not making any assumptions on an announcement trailer.

OK... there's an arc concept pic here http://www.halopedia.org/index.php/Image:Ark_concept.jpg Now that looks pretty much like the gateway that has been uncovered/opened in the trailer to me. You can even (if you use your imagination) see the cliff that MC is standing on in the sketch.

The artifact sort of resembles a library of some sort... like on Halo 2 and also in containment that big structure in the background it looks like that.

I think the answer of the arc has been under our noses the entire time. Tell me, all the Halo's are a weapon correct? Then what is this planet structure doing in the middle with all the halo's revolving around?

You're an idiot. I hate you. No, Earth is not another Halo. Humans are the forerunners. Cote d Azur had a 'holy relic' on it that the Covenant wanted. On Reach they were digging to get to the 'holy light' that just so happened to be under a human controlled world. Now on Earth, they are trying to get to the Ark, another holy symbol of sorts, to activate the 5 remaining Halo's. (six if the one that was almost activated can still be started.) The Ark that is buried under the earths crust, is just another one of the Covenants holy relics. The point is, that all of these things just happen to be burried on Human planets, and I could go into detail, but in a nutshell this proves that the Humans are the Forerunners.


By the way, learn to spell.

Dr. Halsey didn't destroy it. The ODST did, and killed himself in the process.

The big glowing artifact is clearly a lamp shop.

You guys are idiots and your theory is a piece of crap. The reason why the prophet who was attacked by the Flood said that was because he was talking about how the Prophet Regret had attacked earth in the beginning of the game. And they were going to earth to finish the fight going on there.

yeah, they even say in like the first lvl or so that the covenant didnt even expect us to be here. "humanity in general" therefore they weren't just going to Earth to kill humans (like some guy said earlier) they were going to activate the arc (which i fully believe IS the arc)

on halopedia they have the concept art and the actual picture from the trailer side by side, you guys who still doubt it, go there and let your ego go, your wrong, no one will hold it against you though, everyone is entitled to thier own opinion, and i like reading them, keep it up.
