Someone seriously make a copy of this page because we might find it missing in the morning.

  • 05.13.2006 1:57 AM PDT

Wow, This is great. If this gets deleted then we all know its true. So they won't lol.
Anyway, that was one awseome theory. Somebody should check out this other guys theory. See if the moon ever aligns with Voi. Both theories are great and make sense. Im going to keep my eye on this thread.

It's NOT a giant Scarab rifle...that's a pretty dumb thing to say. Just because it sounds like it doesn't make it so. It looks exactly like the beacon fired in Halo 2.

tru.dat
Why would there be a giant gun buried under the ground pointed directly at the sky? Oh yeah, that shole shoot-the-moon thing right? Meh... whatever. I'm too tired to care. lol!

And the scarab gun is Covenant tech, right? So why would Earth have one?
Im not up to speed with all the other theories that have been posted and Ive only read the first book so dont scream at me if I get something wrong.

Good theory. Im going to give it some more thought.

Isnt it interesting that delta halo has a land mass on it which very closly resembles Africa?

  • 05.13.2006 2:01 AM PDT

YES! I noticed that first time I played the Delta Hlo mission. I think Bungie were just lazy and took a piece of land from Earth as they couldnt be bothered to design their own.

  • 05.13.2006 2:02 AM PDT

Earth may not be too small. As people have been saying: not all Halos are the same size.

...only in The Flood

Seriously dude, that's got to be the best theory on b.net to date

In reply to Dave Sempai using the parallel between Noah's Flood and Halo's Flood would it not be possible to have both a Halo and the Arc right here on earth and still fit with current theories. That would make sense to prevent a premature activation by a small minority of fearful forerunners in a premature attempt of self-preservation as the activation of the Halo would also see the destruction of their home-world earth. An insurance policy if you like that all else has been tried previously to the Halo’s activation. This acts as a safety measure of postponement until absolutely all hope is lost in a battle against the Flood. That way the Forerunners could fight tooth and nail until the price of firing the halos far out ways the sacrifice. Then when absolutely necessary, at the last possible moment they retreat to the Arc located under the ice of the Arctic or Antarctic (Hey I just noticed both those names have the word Arc in them "AntARCtic" & "ARCtic".) This also explains why this Halo is under our planet. That way when it fires it destroys the Earth and the Flood even the Covenant while the lucky surviving Forerunners or Humans escape the cataclysm in the safety of the Arc. After the Halos Firing sequence is complete the survivors can then move on and re-establish humanity else ware in the galaxy by terra-forming a new home, much the same way Noah's and the Arc’s survivors did in the Bible.

Damn thats good.
Edit: lol, I just noticed that you signed up to bungie as soon as the Halo 3 trailer went out.

Allright I have all this on file so you cant cover it up Bungie and I will get all new posts down also. = ) everyone else please do the same thing. God this thread is the most real theory yet because it seems true.

Very interesting theory, however I think there are several flaws and numerous other more applicable theories. I think ghostvirus's theory of this as being a type of key or revealing device is very powerful.

The theory of the alloys of the earth being of similar composition to those of this installation and therefore leaving it un-detected are a bit fallible. Underground detection is done through numerous methods such as mass density variations (quite noticeable on an overall earth-sized scale) and induced sesmic testing. While the variation created by this structure may go unnoticed in such a remote location the ability for it to be undetected along the diameter of the earth is a bit of a long shot.

The belief that a structure could radiate the circumference of the earth is quite far off when considering plate tectonics. The African Tectonic plate is an overall lighter density then the plate to the south, and to the north along the Arabian plate it is forming a tectonic ridge (mountains). This plate isn't prone to subduction and most likely (especially the dry-land portion) has existed in one form or another since the formation of the Earth. Unlike oceanic plates which through subduction will descend through the athenosphere and into the Earth's mantle as it is heated into a molten state around 1500km below the surface. Knowing this knowledge it can be understood that an underground installation could exist long before humans inhabited earth, and it could have remained in this position unharmed for millions and millions of years.

However a ring just under the earth's surface would be almost impossible to build. While it is understood that traditional construction techniques are not being used the ridges and movements between plates (several inches in relative movement per year) would disrupt and destroy anything constructed in the Earth's lithosphere (especially oceanic lithosphere).

Another fatal flaw to the ring theory is the fact that this hole is theorized to be only a couple miles deep. The variations along the earth's surface in diamater vary greatly especially along portions such as mid-ocean ridges. A halo ring would be constructed with a perfect diamater, and likely would fail this possiblity as well.

Thus guy must have put ALOT of thought and effort into this theory. Very good job mate. Ive yet to go and check out Delta Halo of H2 to see these other dome structure on the exterior of the ring.

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.

Scarab rifle? WTF? You say thats a dumb thing for me to say? IT looks nothing like a damn halo at ALL. Even look at a picture of a scarab ( the hole in the center and the thigns around the side are exactly the same). So now we have it sounding and looking like a scarab main gun and with your theory it makes no mathamatical sense.

But why would there be a scarab gun on Earth. Its covenant technology.

The covenant have no technology of there own...they stole it all from the forerunners thats a FACT. We know everything the covenant have except for there AI's is replications or clones of forerunner technology ships and all.

Read the guys Theory he says how he thinks it got there.

I did and i dont agree. I just can't see that happening for starters there is no (good) reason to have a ring within a planet unless we are a more volved flood form that had to be kept on a more high security and traquel enviroment to keep us from going beserk as we do so often.

If you are serious about that Ghoostvirus then the Covies are pretty much the same as sony and the crapstation 3. Covies are cool though so it doesn't matter.

  • 05.13.2006 2:18 AM PDT

The scarab gun is green, not white. Got you there. Joke.
One other thing. What did they use to uncover the dome structure? Wouldnt they just use the same thing on the moon if that was where the Arc was?

That and if you compare the size of the smallest halo on the beacon to the size of the halo your on you can estimate the size of it. Here's a clue it's longer then 3 miles by 3 miles in diameter.

Well you may not agree with him but this is the only theory that I have found somewhat real I am sure you will find one that fits your Beliefs. (There is like 8 new theory's a day)

In Halo 2 the Covie ship Warped outa New Mombasa and the Q & A it said wouldn't a warp on Earth have devastating effects. I think the Covies uncovered it by accident.

Before I knew about Halo 3 launch I suspected Earth to be the 'ark' (see end of great journey). So the Oracle says to activate all the rings you go to the ark which suggests that the ark is not a halo or else he woud have just said another installation. Perhaps it's a sphere or maybe the same as high charity. It kind of looks like the top of high charity so maybe high charity was forerunner or partly forerunner. And that would explain why covies invaded earth without expecting humans. They weren't looking for us. They wanted the last installation. Also I'm guessing it wasn't MC who flew the covenant ship to earth. It must have a destination solution set for the thing in the ground.

  • 05.13.2006 2:22 AM PDT

We know High Charity is forerunner. We know MC isnt piloting the ship as the Porphet of Truth is. And why couldnt the forerunners just make a Halo which had more control over the other Halos than the standard Halos?
