Do you see any of the Covinent with designs like that. No.
Actually you do. In First Strike, the Covenant church has stained glass windows.
Also, I doubt humans are Forerunners because GS only mentions Reclaimers. He never mentions the survival of the Forerunners. That part is important, because he was very vocal on how glad he was the flood survived and never mentioned the fate of the Forerunners. Also, he states in H2 all sentient life in the galaxy died. 2401 Penitent Tangent, when he finds the MC, is quite happy to see a "Reclaimer." Not a Forerunner.
Guilty Spark: "After exhausting every other strategic option, my creators activated the rings. They, and all additional sentient life in three radii of the galactic center, died ...as planned."
Gravemind: "Your Prophets have promised you freedom from a doomed existence, but you will find no salvation on this ring. Those who built this place knew what they wrought; do not mistake their intent or all will perish as they did before."
Guilty Spark: "More or less. Technically, this installation's pulse has a maximum effective radius of twenty-five thousand light years. But, once the others follow suit, this galaxy will be quite devoid of life, or at least any life with sufficient biomass to sustain the flood. But you already knew that. I mean, how couldn't you?"
Everybody insists the Forerunners are dead. In front of human beings, they deny the survival of the Forerunners.
