I'm going to save you guys all the trouble in trying to figure this out with my awesome single post.


EARTH IS THE DEATH STAR!!!


The Death Star, the only weapon capable of destroying the covenant, the halos, and the flood.

The forerunners were wiped out by a massive human rebellion, led by LUKE SKYWALKER. They had the plans to the Death Star, they fixed the Port issue resulting in complete obliteration, and they terraformed it. EARTH IS THE DEATH STAR RECREATED BY THE REBEL HUMANS.

We will be allowed to drive this giant weapon to the Covie homeworld and DESTROY THEM.

Remember in Star Wars, they had Swords, and ships, and hovertanks, and spaceships, and it happened A LONG LONG TIME AGO, and THE GALAXY FAR AWAY was Forerunner space. The Halos fired, killing every other alien species off, except for the human rebel INSURECTION!!!

Yay.

OMG YES! how were we so blind? And the Arbiter = Han Solo

Glad you thought that one out a bit.

Anyway, great theory. Best i have heard so far. I still don't know what the people are talking about the moon. or scarab guns. Honestly, a Halo could fit under the earth. The original post clears that much up. And combined with the number of spires around the dome and their placement, i don't think anyone has anything to contradict that. It might not be true, but it is the most likely theory in my opinion.

I don't think that Noah's ark or the Ark of the Covenant (it would be ironic, though) have anything to do with the "Ark" mentioned in H2.

here's some help from good 'ol dictionary.com;

Ark:

1. often Ark Bible. The chest containing the Ten Commandments written on stone tablets, carried by the Hebrews during their desert wanderings. Also called Ark of the Covenant.
2. often Ark Judaism. The Holy Ark.
3. Bible. The boat built by Noah for survival during the Flood.
4. Nautical. A large, commodious boat.
5. A shelter or refuge.

look at number five. That's what the H2 "ark" will be. And that helps the original theory cause i believe he said it was a location for the last stand of the Forerunners.

Overall,

Ark=Earth

Look at number 3 in Gun of August's post above. The definition says The boat built by Noah for survival during the FLOOD. I never thought about that. What if by flood they didn't mean a water flood, but the flood! It's Crazy!!

An extremly well thought out theory, but all the evidence points towards earth being The Ark.

The evidence points no where. We've seen a trailer, with a spherical object being excavated from the earth. Ark? Probably, but anyone's guess at this point. Let's stick to what we konw for sure, and not inventing "slip-space matter exchange" technology which doesn't exist or has never been mentioned.

Any of you dudes who havn't figured out that humans are the direct desendant of the forerunners should just stop posting forums.
Oh, yeah the thing under Mombasa is the ark that 343 guilty spark was talking about at the end of H2 and the thing Truth's fly'n to earth is the key to the ark, read the books its all there in black and white.... unless your an idiot.

You could have just said "it's the Ark," and been done with it, but you had to throw in a few choice (albeit poor) insults too. I see this is your first day on the forums? Follow your own advice and don't post anymore, because if you keep up this behavior you'll be blacklisted anyway.

The guy's theory points to nowhere but his own idiocity (sp?)..even the guy who has only been here for a day knows more of the Halo story,and uses better logic than the topic starter.

I honestly doubt there is a Halo under Earth's crust. More like a structure identical to those on any Halo. I believe the Forerunner were Humans or a previous species of mankind. They built a structure under Earth and the Covenant located it first. Its purpose is yet to be revealed but to get down straight to it; There is no Halo under Earth

I really doubt that bungie will make go that far out. We already know that there is no ark under the earths crust because of the intensity of the earth's heat would melt it and also the Earth's platelets would smash it up.

the ark idea would explain how the covenant went to earth not knowing of human inhabitants, they just went to the ark and found a bunch of humans and now came back to activate it.

wow! ok the first post was amazing and well thought out but why? i like the ark idea better and since i thought that right after halo 2 campain, to me that too would suport a forerunner = humans. Question, did any of yall get the halo 2 special eddition pack? in one of the extra booklets there was a little convertion with two eiltes talking about why the propehts didnt ask humans to join up in the covenant? they were kida confused about it. And there leads me to think that the prophets knew that the humans where some how related to the forerunners in some wierd way maybe not as the forerunners but similar to them. So now why did they think that humans where not on earth could have been that the covant had no idea where the inner planets were cause on there perspective they thought the humans where just leading them into a trap "mentioned in the extra text" instead of just getting owned in the war. And that is my explantion as to why, that would also explain as to the theory that the covant are just stealing the technology from the forerunners and are not very innovative. "in the game all over and the first book that was official" and thats how i feel.

Why would there need to be a Halo in earth? Couldn't the Forerunners just build relevant structures on the surface? Remember what happens to things that are very old? Dinosaurs got covered up too. It makes absolutely no sense to build a Halo in Earth.

Now, as for the placement of these Forerunner structures, it makes perfect sense that they are where they are for astronomical reasons.

Forerunners most likely called Earth home. What better place to have the remote for ending all life in the galaxy.

Holy Blam this idea is brilliant. So much research has gone into it that id feel really sorry for you if it turned out to be false. You must be some sort of philosopher/geographer/fully devoted halo fanboy. Thats so much research that it would hold up in court. Good work man

This thread is still going because its freakin GENIUS. Thats why!! And how could you know its the ARK. Its a huge dome with a white light that protudes from the middle. Whether its the ark is for bungie to know and for us to find out in about a year.

Yes, unless of course the density of earths crust combined with the different atmospheres is enough to block out whatever it is that kills all sentient life. And of course they chose earth because of its liveable conditions. However, if i understand your post correctly you say that the forerunner chose earth as their home. Another reason for choosing earth and on the same subject of the astronomical reasons, maybe earth is far enough away from all the Halos that it wont get hit when the Halos are fired. WHO KNOWS!?!?

What do you mean Bungies not smart!?!? Tell me would you have ever thought of a 10,000 km wide ring that will kill all sentient life in the universe when activated and the only person who can stop it is a 7ft warrior clothed in metal with a huge arsenal of weapons?? Face it, if Bungie could think of something like that then the idea of burrying a Halo within the Earth would require little thought on Bungies behalf.

From the good Sarge.

I don't know if this has been posted already but what if... The earth doesn't hide a Halo or what if isn't just a place called the Ark by the Forerunners. What if Earth IS the Ark - and I mean a manufactured and engineered, artificial globe? Like a Halo but a full sphere?

Is this totally stupid or possible. I don't know. Just something that crossed my mind.
