I dont know if this has been posted before but. I think the Ark may be the halo ring from halo one because at the end of the game when it is destroyed It breaks up into peices that are shaped like arks. so maybe the ark is the orginal halo ring and you will have to go back to it.

That makes no sense. Its already been firmly established that Earth is the Ark.

Has it?

Those are Arcs, guilty spark at the end of halo 2 says Ark.

Yes read the novels...

I've read the books.

Show me some evidence that the earth is the Ark.

You know, books have words.
You could quote evidence from the books, then if the evidence can prove that the earth is the ark beyond a shadow of a doubt, I'll believe you.
I'm not saying definitively the earth is or is not the ark.

I'm just not going to believe anything on this forum unless it is backed up with quotes and references.

As far as I know (I've read the books 3 or 4 times (except for the flood. it sucked)), I've seen no outstanding evidence of the earth being the ark.

[Edit]
Didn't see your last post.

What do I think the Ark is?
I think it's a gold box about the size of a personal computer inside a giant facility. I think the facility is likely to be on earth, or that ship Truth brought with him to earth.

The ARK is a seperate facility to the broken pieces of Alpha Halo, which happen to be in ARC shapes.

Note, I don't know. Just using logic.

Ok youre right the plot hasnt come out and said that Earth is the Ark, thats a major plor point but there is enough foreshadowing (thank you high school literature class) to say that Earth is or holds the Ark. The fact that Truth comes here in 2 lookin for something is the most damnin evidence. I dont the Ark is a thing...i think it is literally Earth. It doesnt shield you from the Rings so much as it takes u away from where they can harm you.

That's a good theory, and I don't have any evidence to argue against it. If Truth knows about the Ark, I'm sure he's not going to earth because it has bathrooms.

I think maybe the ark is shaped like pandora's box, as by legend it was found in the cradel of life, which happens to be in africa

Now ill play Devils Advocate..How does Greek Mythology and arguably palentology come into play here? Nothing that has been mentioned in the scope of the Halo universe would allow you to infer this

With the Ark? It doesn't as far as I can tell.
But Tartarus is definately a huge Greek connection.

I don't know, it might just be me, but I don't think bungie would give away halo 2 secret in a teaser trailer.

Also, we have no proof that that huge structure on earth is the ark. Heck, it could be a forunner playground for all we know.

if the ark is or is on alpha halo, then the ark is destroyed, and we wont have to worry about the rings getting activated

I am...whimsical today.

Don't forget the Spartan program it's self. Also the Aztec like symbols that feature prominantly in the book. The Covenant caste system reflects a number of different systems, such as the Spartan one, the Indian one and the Feudal one.

Not to mention the Mayan-esque temples in halo 2, and the Aztec style control center in CE.
