When Halo First came out, I joind the B.Net Community, I left and deleted my account before Halo 2 was offically relased. Lots of things have been said, lots of people have been saying stupid things. Alot of people say that marathon and halo tie into each other in more ways than one...
Heres some thoughts:
The Ark in a biblical sense Sheltered all the animals from the 40 days and 40 nights of flooding...
Hmm... The Flood are an enemy in halo, and mabye the Forunners sent out an ark to escape the flood...
Also, The Mechinism shown in the trailer is outside new Mombosa, Mombosa in a present sence is in africa, Africa is where all life on earth orignated, and it moved out from there. There is an obvious connection.
In Laymen's terms: Earth is the Ark, The forerunners used it to escape the flood, Kinda like Titan A.E. They used the Halo Ring in the First game to wipe out all Sentient life in the galaxy(I came to this because of what 343 guilty spark says about "this facility hasn't been used in X number of years). The Ark was full of un-evolved beings, so they woulden't die in the use of the ring. So basically I think that explaines what happened to the Forerunners and where Humans came about. The covenant is a whole different story, theres not alot of evidence to tell of their origin, but it explaines why humans are innovative, and the Covanent are addaptive, technology wise. The Forerunners created their technology from scratch, as humans do, but the covanent just use "Artifacts" to adapt the forerunners' left behind technology.
This is not the only thing of biblical significance, look at the master cheifs' name, John 117, see below for biblical relevancy.
In "The Revelation of St. John the Divine": Chapter 1: Verse 17: (revelation 1:17) -> "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last.
Thats not the last Biblical refrence, but I don't wish to offend anyone by pointing it out.
two more words can also be applied to Halo 3... "Indaina Jones"
Most of us have seen Indaina Jones: raiders of the lost Ark... When the Ark of the covenant is opened, we all know what happenes... The openers are Killed... So draw your own conclusions.
