After thinking, I have come to a theory. What if the humans are the real forerunners? Which brings us to where all mankind started in real life... Africa. The forerunners were supposedly the first human beings, and since human life started in africa it makes sense to put the Arc in Africa. I read on another post that Noah's Arc saved people from the Flood in the bible obviously. Maybe the forerunners made Christianity to hide the secrets of the Arc in side a book( the bible) but gave people enough clues to find out, if there was another flood outbreak. Also this means that the covenant believe in a similar religion to Christainity in halo but they know the real facts.


Also maybe the covenant dont know that the forerunners were humans, which explains why they attack us. To further add that is why they thought Earth was not inhabbited (due the forerunners dying when they started the arc up long ago).

Please fell free to add opinions to my theory.

Human life started in Africa? Erm, I beg to differ. The earliest remnants of the Neanderthal man was traced from across the Beringia land bridge in Siberia, not Africa.

And if you're trying to use the Bible, or any religion, for that matter, to justify this, guess again. All major religions point to life originating in either the Middle East or Southeast Asia.

Yeah, I smoke weed. And yeah, I like it. So either torch this bowl with me or leave me alone.

Just remember man.... no matter how good you are, she's STILL thinking of me.

while your theory is sound in some cases, i have something that might shake it a little. when MC first meets the installation keeper 343 guilty spark, he refers to the MC as a reclaimer, and tells us about how the forerunners built the device. if humans were forerunners, why would 343 need to tell us. i think humans were part of the forerunner empire, and they were intrusted with keeping the halo devices from being fired. each speices was then carried to their home planets when the rings were fired in a ship that would withstand the halo firing. then they were started again from scratch, slowly advancing, and hopefully staying away from the flood. but if the need arose, humans would hopefully find the ark and activate it, and it would start all over again.
