That instalation is defeinately the ark, not a halo. I own the limited edition Halo 2, which comes with a dvd. One of the videos in it is The making of Halo 2 or something like that, and under that is level design. During the video it shows a white board and a level drawn up on it called "09-earth-ark" and a small picture next to it which is identical to the installation. Putting the 2 together, i assume that it is the ark. Whether or not there is a halo under the earth, its complete speculation.

maybe that's why when you look at delta halo in the beginning video on the level delta halo it looks like africa. literally. exactly like africa.

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The structure openning looks identical to the way the one the SPARTANS and Dr. Halsey found on REACH is described, where the time-warping crystal is found.

Maybe the counterpart is on Earth, since Earth is the Ark. Rather thn use an index to activate it, we need to use the Crystal/Part of the Crystal..

It's the Ark of the Covenant, aka Control room of the Ark that sets off the rings. It obviously needs a key..why not use something buried under two of the Human's planets, rather than an index?

And of course the whole Earth is the Ark (like Noah's Ark)

When Frankie says "True Halo Fan", he obviously means the Hardcore ones who have read the books and know more of the story than people who stick to the games.

first of all, that first post is way to long, so I just read the last post. Thios key you speak of, here's a crazy idea. Since I have not read the books, I have little intel, but I have gathered that Hasley is smart. So what if cortana is the key, and that's why she was so knowledgeable and why the flood guy kept her, and why she hasn't exploded(a theory on another thread about how she is too old to live), and why Chief always kept her.

Hmmmmm.... Good theory, but i'm not totally convinced... I mean, there's supposed to be an Arc in Halo 3, so I am sure that it is the Arc. But, you never know...

I don't think it's a Halo. Think about it, the metal side of the Halo ring NEVER opens up and fires anything. It always comes from the planet side of it. It wouldn't make sense for it to come from the metal side because it would just fire off into no where. Plus, the Halo's never look like that when they fire. Because when it fired in H2 it fired from the atmospheric side, and it didn't look the way it does in the trailer.

There's a crystal found in the Human's second most important planet REACH, also the biggest Naval station we have.

It's a crystal found deep under an Operations of Naval Intelligence Base/Coal(?) Mines. The crystal is found by Tartarus at the end of the book titles First Strike and brought to one of the Prophets.

The room is said to be huge - it felt like being out in the open, it may have been 3 miles wide (that's how wide the thing in the trailer is), and in the center there was a pedestal holding the crystal. Also, a covie ship parked right on top and sent his troops in via a hole in the top of the room.

The crystal let the Spartans andJohnson in their captured Dropship escape by temporarily reversing the Antigravlift so it lifted them up rather than sent them down.


The thing warps time and anti grav forces, this is why Halo 2 only takes place over like a week or less..This also explains why The Admiral is so suprised to see the Chief in space when he (theoretically) just left in slip space on the In Amber Clad.

The theory I posted is different than the topic starter's - his is really unbelieveable and stupid.

First of all, that sound more resembles high energy electrostatic discharge, or something very VERY HOT. Sounds are patterns of compression waves in our atmosphere(usually, or water or whatever, but here it is gaseous.)

The first problem with it being a halo is, the middle man, really.
There is a lot of matter inside our earth, even that little belt he described.
Again, how to ''flip'' the crust to make it be INSIDE the ring?
The collection of energy seems in likeness to the firing of a halo, except in a halo, the orb of energy can be controlled/modified by any number of points along the ring, which fully encompasses it along an axis. On earth that would not be so, as our horizon would limit some of it.(i don’t know why i typed that)

Also, if you would, notice the swirling gas, yes the one that looks like the eye of a hurricane, those are formed by hot air rising INTO cooler air. And then in this vortex you have a gap which is odd, but should the energy/plasmas be heating air, it would create that, and a gap due to A: the angular momentum of the air, and B: the beam would heat the surrounding air pushing it away,

just to confirm something for people E = MC^2

where E is energy
M is mass
and C is the speed of light in meters/s

from this, we know that energy behaves in itself, also like matter in how it obeys gravity and such.

I theorize that you could get that energy by condensing matter into a singularity( a point of no volume)

So, this thing has all this energy and is channeling it into a center, which either repels the earth somehow, or a quick and/or doughnut like force was applied to it in which the beam was forced up in the middle, and then budged/exploded.

Also, about the equator, notice how the other halos have artic climate zones?
Should there be a halo lurking beneath our feet the ring would most likely stretch from the poles.

Another nail in this coffin is that Kenya just isn’t wide enough to support a halo (even if it stretched from both borders) and once more, the objects scale aint right, as (yea, it looks huge, but relatively, is not, maybe 10 mi across MAXIMUM)

But, i did find an area with about a 1000ft drop in a relatively small area on GE.
which could be the game wise location of this ''object''

I’m done for now also, why would it fire from the outside if it were a ring?, its not a ring folks.

I thought that everyone knew that the forerunners were human, thats why both guilty spark and pentant tangent "or whatever his name is" immediately recognized Chief, even in H.C.E. 343 guilty spark says to Chief, "last time you asked if it were my decision, having considerable time to ponder this my answer has not changed we must activate the ring" & "why would you hesitate to do what you have alredy done", I mean fight it all you want it's indisputable. One thing though, the last time it was detonated it had to have been detonated from the original halo only, cause I don't think 343 was with the reclaimer on Earth, detonated the rings remotely with him than spent the next 150,000,000,000 years flying back to halo just in time for us to show right back up with the same problem. Juz my opinion.

How is it a good theory? Didn't you read mine or promotheuses posts? A Halo wouldn't fire from the outside of the ring! It just doesn't make sense. And the Scarab idea does kind of make sense, isn't Covie tech based off of Forerunner tech? I think that the Domed Structure is the Ark, and coinsiding with the Bible, the only safe place to be when the Halo's are fired. The reason I say this is because Noah's Ark was the only safe place for Noah, his family, and the animals. This is why I think it's the only safe place when all the Halo's fire. This is assuming though that Bungie is getting their story elments from the Bible.

I wonder if some of you guys have even read my original post as I keep reading posts using points of argument that have clearly already been covered in my original post, such as: "Halo can't fit inside the Earth" well the maths says it can, or "its the ark because there is an ark in the bible" Look this is the Halo universe and it does not have to mirror every event in the bible, sure this aspect of prophetic inspiration gives a story like Halo an aura of grandeur but Halo is always going to be a science fiction epic and the bible is going to be, well the bible, a collective work written by many different contributors which has been edited and rewritten and reedited and rewritten and reedited with many remarkable omissions, perhaps done in order to push one particular agenda or another.

Just a tad more evidence to your theory Halo Empire, in the last clip of Halo 2 when Keyes stops Delta Halo from firing, the monitor tells them of the ark. When he does a Hologram of the rings appear, right?? there are 7 holograms? 7 for each ring, right?? wrong actually. Chief destroyed the first one so there should only be 6. Why 7?? Halo Empire has just revealed it all to you. The middle hologram of the ring (the smallest) has another hologram appear from it. It appears to be some sort of sign and if Halo Empire is correct then that middle ring is the one ring that is hidden under the earths crust.

A well done to you Halo Empire. This is one of the most well supported theories I have read in this forum.

promotheuses, sorry mate, I missed your post completely.

I never suggested that the habitat on the inner circumference of our Halo is alive or active at all. I am suggesting however that the entire superstructure of a Halo has been inserted under the earths crust using a kind of highly amplified precision slip-space technology thanks in part to the crystal Dr Halsey found on Reach. As our Halo was designed and built by a race that’s existence precedes all other sentient life and technology in the galaxy by possibly billions of years this super structure has probably been designed engineered and built to withstand the stresses of plate tectonics here on Earth I believe its size is fractionally larger than that of all the other Halo’s and was perhaps the reference model against which the previous Halos were designed. It would have to of been inserted into the crust at a depth deeper than the lowest point of the oceans along the equator (about 7km) in order to make it undetectable by the life on this planet until such times that its location is revealed by some means or another. All I know is the evidence especially that which relates to the location of the dig site, the town of Voi aligns with the position of the smaller recognizable dome structures on the outer surface of the Halo's, and the design, details, scale and dimensions of these two structures matches more closely than any other two things in the Halo universe. Therefore I conclude they are on and the same. What these structures are no one knows. Maybe an emission point for a saturating neutrino wave front weapon, a shield emission system to deflect asteroid and comet impacts, an access port to the inner conduits and installations of the Halo's, a containment field emission system for containing a flood outbreak. It could be any one of these or something completely different. Only you can decide what you think is right. In reference to your comments about Kenya not being wide enough, I don’t think the boarders of Kenya existed back when this thing was slip-spaced into position. Also I don’t think the Forerunner would bother asking the early -blam!--sapiens (humans) for permission to implant a WMD under the crust of there territory or any of the other early human tribes along the equator for that matter. Also your dimensions for Halo are way off. Officially the Halo Installation 04 was 10,000kms in diameter. 320kms wide with a rim thickness of 22.3kms. So if you allow me to speculate and scale our Halo up so it is covered by about 10kms of crust you now have a Halo that is some 27.3% larger so that makes a new diameter of 12,730kms, a width of 407.36kms and a rim thickness of 28.3879kms. Your final point was about the way it would fire believing what you saw at the end of Halo2 was a firing sequence. Firstly all you saw in that cut scene was Delta Halo booting up and logging in to the Halo Network preparing itself to fire. No one has ever seen what they would look like when they fire. Besides if our Halo is also an Ark and these domes are in fact a part of a containment field and shield system for our planet this Halo would not need to behave or fire the same way as the other Halos. I know this is all here say and speculation and I have to expect the hate but the evidence is there right there in front of everyone’s eyes to see and still everyone has there minds made up with bible theories and whatever. But think about it, what else could it be. What could be more epic in the Halo story then to discover a Halo right here on Earth. After all the game is titled HALO3

Sparting 2006, while i respect that you feel that i need a girlfriend and i also respect that you like rove [LIVE] (great show) but we are on a forum that is dedicated to discussing SPECULATION on Halo 3. so you calling us both wankers is a waste of your computer time coz u could have been surfing www.rovelive.com instead of telling us to stop wasting our time. By the way tell me why you consider that by discussing an ACTION game on a website the most MALES go on, why dont you think we are MEN???? (sorry to all females who are on this site or who are reading this post. Bungie.net would not be the same without you.)

And this theory by Halo Empire is GENIUS! how could you NOT like it!?!?!

BTW i am signing off now folks. Once again well done to Halo Empire, i greatly respect you. Back again 2 moro. Goodbye!

I don't see why the Ark can't be an object with the exact same specs and dimensions as Halo's?

EDIT: The Ark is just a Halo with a different role. One of those little structures on the outside of the rings is the same thing buried in the ground at New Mombassa. I don't see why this disproves a Halo shaped object in the eath's crust.

There's another reason I believe so strongly in this theory. A long time ago in the old 343gs forums, a long time user and a former friend of mine said he'd deciphered some plot points from some codes from the old cryptic www.halo2.com and ilove bee's. I doubt he'd care now, but he went by "Kinoctra Mocka".

He was a very respected as poster and had some pretty intense theories, but the stuff he told us seemed beyond belief. He correctly predicted that we'd play as a disgraced elite, that a Forerunner leader would reach out for the players help and gather a flood army to destroy a Halo artifact, and last but not least, he said that there was a Halo deep in the earth's crust.

He was a bit unstable, and after spending so many years drawing fanart, posting on the message board and theorizing, he angrily renounced Halo and the Xbox when his console broke on the eve of November. One of the last memories I have of him is telling us all about Halo 2. I believe that because of Bungie splitting up the storyline, he inadvertedly told us about Halo 3.
