There is a theory similar to this, which says it resembles the forerunner ship's launch pad, but I think there's also one just like this too. Sorry. It was a nice idea.

It looks like it because it is a forerunner structure, therefore similar architecture. That sturcture is not a library as libraries are only located on the Halo's for housing the indexs to activate them. However it may serve a similar purpose of activating the ark if it is not infact the ark.

At first, I thought the artifact was the Ark, but in the Conversations From the Universe insert found in the Limited Edition versions of Halo 2, it says that they found an artifact on Coral (one of the human colonies) and I just assumed that was the Ark. It is possible that they moved it from Coral to Earth, but the artifact in the trailer was way to big too move. However, the artifact on Coral may not have been the Ark.

Ever think that it may be because all the artifacts are made by the same race? The Forerunners, its only natural that they look alike. But , if we rely upon well-established theories, that is the ARK in the trailer, NOT a library.
The are similar, yet not the same.
Sorry to blow your theory, it was a good one though.

well I think...
it looks like a giant hole in the earth that has a bunch of cracks with flaps that open up...and then on the inside it is really a super duper covenant gladiator ring which it gonna be one of the MP levels so it doesnt really tell nothin bout da plot...and cortana is talkin about how the gladiators defy gods [prophets] and demons [mc]....gladiators use sheilds and swords....i know you crap is tellin the gladiator that he has no chance at livin cause the big light beam of death in the middle...and the world ends cuz the cov take over earth to make it a commcercialized [heh] fighting ring where cov criminals fight against human slaves to the death so that cov hierarcheisesd can bet on whose gonna win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep. I think it's The Ark, and I think The Covenant are trying to remote activate the other rings.

Holy crap! Almost every thread that get's created get's blacklisted before you can even post! Even some that seem like good threads. I don't want to post on the 18th page of a thread! It want to actualy respond to the person who started the thing!

has anyone noticed that the "pillars" that rise come in pairs, there were 14 pillars making 7 pairs. 7 halos?

i think it is the ark because, well, too much has happened for me to think otherwise but i also noticed it looks like circle shaped things on the outside of a halo. maybe a halo is in the earth, we will never know

It looks like the background for Containment. Maybe the Ark is the Moon!

Why would they all run away if it is activated, after all.... it would mean they are turning into Gods so what is there to be afraid of. Also, who is in the Phantom? Obviously Truth, "who else would need a nine banshee escort" so why would they activate it without the ONLY high prophet left alive being there to witness it? This leads to another theory that Im not going to go into because it will only lead to senseless arguement with people who don't bother to read the books and dont analyze the video everyday for hours upon end and dont look at interviews with bungie employees.
