I edited my post for clarity. Can you not see the similarities? Forerunners fleeing to earth to avoid the replicators, the Ancient fleein in Atlantis to the Pegasus galaxy, or the other way around, the galaxy spanning migrations of the Ancient have always confused me. But it seems very similar to me, and there's no reason that the artifact in Africa can't be "Atlantis" or a similar mythological city.

so you're still saying that bungie would focus their E3 trailor on the evacuation site of atlantis, and that humans and covenant would be looking for atlantis, and that anyone would waste their time doing so, and trumpets would play while uncovering atlantis? next thing you know we will be traveling to the moon to pick "the face on the moon" nose.

"This is how the world will end," like, the final battle between heaven and hell? Yeah, sounds good to me.

Yeah, mostly Season Eight of Stargate and Stargate: Atlantis, but in my mind, they're one show. By my standards? Just because I have all eight availabel seasons on DVD and watch them frequently...

Okay, I'm a dork.

But hey, isn't that kind of a given?

Well, why not focus on Atlantis? I'ts a fairly persistant and well known myth, and ties nicely into the whole "Human / forerunner" argument.

Babylon is near Africa it makes sense. Or it could follow the bible and that could be the prison of the devil.Or you know that Noahs ark was to escape/survive THE FLOOD!
Or the ark that was gold and secret that stored a staff and whatnot/THERE MIGHT BE A REALLY BIG WEAPON IN THERE!

The details of the plot have yet to be revealed. Suffice to say, the Chief has returned to Earth. The Covenant has uncovered a massive and ancient artifact under the African soil and Cortana is still trapped in the clutches of the Gravemind.


from the faq...........note AFRICAN SOIL


You changed the words! I distinctly remember reading "under the earth's crust".



I'm certain your checking as I type this, but that's the exact qoute.


I couldn't find where you got your quote. But I did find this:

"CJ explains, "It is the Chief, back on a devastated and Covenant controlled Earth, standing over the excavation of a structure buried in the crust of our own planet that is the meat of our demo."

The article never specifies where the Chief or the Structure are at, besides Earth.



Lol you refuse to admit defeat don't you? Look at the FAQ, lol

Everyon eknows the arc is in that warehouse at the end of Indianna Jones.

Babylon dos sound better than Atlantis though, and it could also be Tanis, assuming that's real and not jus tin Indianna Jones.

OMG, harrison ford is teh chief and covenant is teh -blam!-s!

I hope it doesn't blam out -blam!-s.
Ha ha, it does Blam out the name of the people with the killing of the jews and the finding of the ark.

I hope you looked out the windows in Halo 2 on the Cairo Station because Africa still looks like 2006 Africa.
