I personally think that the covenant dug this thing up thinking it was something else. Notice how they all are moving in with their ships and such. But when the artifact begins to open up they fly away supah fast trying to get the hell outta there. It began to do something they never expected it to do. Also, whats with the huricane eye above the artifact. I live in florida and recently have seen plenty of Hurricane Eye, it resembles one to the T. But there is no surounding hurrican. As if the hurricane is above the nadmass and isnt even touching down, maybe protected by some shield. Also at the begining of the movie you see some weird circular structures. I counted 7 at the begining and 4 at the end. (the remaing four are on the opposite side of the Spartan.) I think its weird that the covenant run away from it once it opens.

I am...whimsical today.

About the hurrican thing, It was just Bungie showing off some nice real-time effects they got the game to do. I think its in an FAQ somewhere.

Why do the clouds do the swirly thing?



Fictionally: Tremendous, never-before-encountered, seething subatomic energies.

Factually: Parallax mapping and other techniques.


Hmm, sorry the first time I saw that I misread it. I thought it was just showing off :P
It may be more...

they may have unearthed it yes, but they did not know what it was, and what significance the structure had. they would not have been expecting it to just open randomly

I think there are people inside the ark. forerunners, maybe spartans - maybe original spartans from before the halos were detonated, wearing the armor that the little flying eyeball referred to when he saw Master Chief's armor and asked wht he was wearing old armor instead of the new armor.
