Look at the forum banner that should be at the top of the page and you will notice in the top left, that you see the remains of the bridge you cross in the New Mombasa level in halo2 i the tank...

Why does everyon say it's the bridge? I don't get it. Looks like a loop to me. If you mean one of the arches on the bridge, that's way too big.

Look behind Master Chief when he's looking at the artifact, theres a city in the distance and theres also another ring, the bridge or rings that were behind MC when he was walking toward the artifact would still be behind him when hes facing the city and the other ring.

Yeah, and the excavation being there makes a lot of sense since New Mombasa was the only place on Earth the Covenant landed in Halo 2. Whatever they're looking for is there obviously.

Pause it right around 0:55 and you'll see a really wierd face that looks like a scary Cortana or something.

... That's not a bridge. My guess it that it's broken pieces of the Mombassa Space Elevator.

Even then, there are 3 of those giant loops, yet only 2 on the bridge. .. And where's the water?

....... Gasp! What if the "Ark" (or whatever it is) was under water, and that's a giant lake bed?

....Hmm.

Does anyone else think the figure on the tipped over sign looks like the silhouette of a grunt?

Hmm... On second thought, I may have to retract my statement about the New Mombasa bridge being in the background. Where is the river? It looks like MC's in the middle of a desert.

Why is everyone so pursistant that what you see is the bridge. Last time I checked, The bridge was not circular but more like the Golden Gate Bridge just with some modifications.

this is the crater left over from the covenant ship in halo2. it goes into slipspace or something and then there is a huge explosion destroying the city..i dont remember all the details or names of stuff. it happens after you take out the scarab. so it might be a crater from that explosion and the city might have been built over the artifact.

Look, when he is walking do you see all that dry land, that used to be the big water source and when that big old ship jumped ot blew away or evaporated all the water and pushed everything out of the way. Then the aliens returned, dug that big hole to uncover that structure, the ark. But that is just my theroy, we won't know til the release of the game : )

Yeah, it could be it! That's a very good theory. I love you,man.

Haha, you're funny.

I'm more worried about Cortana saying something to the effect of "I have destroyed Gods and Demons"

When I first saw it I thought: Zanzibar's wheel? But hearing what everyone else has to say, I honestly don't know what it is. What if it's nothing? What if it is just scenery without any hidden meaning or anything? Don't know...
