I'm not sure if this has been posted or not, but maybe the large structure is the ark, and is similar to the Ark in the bible It is a safe haven for the forerunners from the flood. Makes sense. They have just been in a suspended state, similar to the flood, waiting to be reactivated when either needed or by accident. What do you guys think?

meh, they would have starved or deteriorated by know. Unless they were somehow cyrogenetically preserved... or frozen. But who would freeze people in the middle of an African desert?

dude, I could not have said it better myself... I think you might have something with this theory of yours, I mean, it could be very possible that the forrunners were Humans... you think its possible? it could be very possible that the forrunners were the ones that created the flood like it was a virus or medicine or something an experiment if you will taht went wrong... like in Resident Evil. But who knows except for bungie...?!

Good idea but then again they froze the Flood (upon millions of specimens) so then again, freezing some forerunners doesnt seem too shocking (At least not to me).

The Humans are the forerunners (or at very least their descendants) and they don't know it yet. The earth is the ark (or at least houses it). And at the end of Halo 3 the prophets are all going to fall on their plasma swords for almost destroying their beloved forerunners. Or something vaguely along those lines. Read the books thouroughly and play the games. You will see this pattern emerge. Lets face it, why else would guilty spark call John the 'reclaimer' and the rings require a human to activate them.

what if it isn't specifically human? what if something humanoid can activate it? like an elite.

*sighs* The idea of the Ark being like Noah's Ark is all very well but why does no one see the similarity between the Ark of the Covenant and this particular Ark. Anyone seen raiders of the lost Ark? The Ark possessed the power to destroy people that did not understand it. Is it not amazingly similar to the Ark of Halo? The Ark can remotely detonate the Halo's, causing all sentient beings to die. If you don't understand its function.

Why did guilty spark only use humans. Why didn't he go for an elite then? He got through like 5 or 6 other humans before he got to John.

You Grunt...

first of all ferret u are a bender. and secondly i agree with the forerunners being human of some sort and the fact that they (the humans) created the flood not delibratley but to create maybe a super cure for a super killer disease of some sort, the forerunners then bannished the disease to Halo thinking that the halo ring would destroy the flood, then the covenant sticking their snouts in seeked to find the secrets behind the Halo rings and mistakenly set free the virus (the flood) which know threatens the earth and the entire universe.
