I am not sure if this theory has been stated before but I will give it a shot.

Alright everybody knows the covenant believe in the forerunners which are most likely the humans. And with this said, us as humans, our forerunners are our prophets....Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and so on.(sorry if any of this insults you) And every Christian has a great journey, to receive all the sacrements to get one step closer to heaven. We must abide by God's laws which are the Ten Commandments.

Now since the covenant have prophets (the messenger of their god) they would typically be very religious. To keep their culture and religion alive the prophets must prove to the rest of the covenant that their god does exist and they help guide them into seeking that. Which would be their "great journey". So this is when they meet up with the humans and this creates war. AND we all know most wars have been caused by differences in religion and total control of the holy objects.

As we all know the Arc of the Covenant or AKA the Ten Commands suddenly dissapeard. Covenant means promise. Hence the name covenant for the enemy and hence the name for the prophets Truth and Regret and so on. So now as the evidence adds up it is possible that the covenant have the same religion and same god as us. They believe they must find this arc to find peace for eternity in their heaven and it proves that their religion does exist and the laws the covenant follow are correct. Hence the name great journey. Now most philosophers and archiologists believe the Arc of the Covenant or AKA The Ten Commandments is located somewhere near the middle east and the North Eastern/Eastern tips of Africa. That would be where zanzibar is and just to add this little detail in, Mount Kilimanjaro. That explains the area cheif was located at in the Halo 3 teaser. Very barren, and dry. The Sahara. And the Bible notes that the Arc of the Covenant is so powerful and holy that whoever touches it will instantly be disintegrated. I forget the name of the city but in battle, the muslims were in control of the Arc of the Covenant. The high priests and the muslim army walked around the city's walls for 3 days straight. Then the wall magically fell down and they won the battle. Whatever army containing the power of the Arc of the Covenant remained invincible as said in the Bible. This may be the arc the Covenant they are looking for.

So therefor my educated guess on what the arc is and where the arc is located is around the middle east and the northeastern/eastern tips of africa. And the arc is The Arc of the Covenant. So basically the covenant have the same god and religion as the forerunners or the humans.
