the video IS of new mombasa...thats where the covenant hyper-jump portal opened and decimated the land....and the eiffel tower was built by humans...how could it be a forerunner ship?

Did you even read it? Cool theory. If you read the entire thing he notes that the "weapon" were viewing is just that a "weapon" but one of 7 (I think) There is a symelarity between the ship and the tower. Nice job spotting it.

Thank you very much! For the compliment, understanding my theory and finally someone who reads carefully.

I use logic to disprove this theory, you don't even need to know that much about Halo to debunk it. The Eiffel tower was created during 1887-1889 by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel and the structural designs were not pulled out of his ass, they were created by Maurice Koechlin. So how is it at all possible for us to somehow know where the Ark is when we made it, and have that documented, and yet our military does not know about this? Some builder by chance knew about the Ark? How does a design have anything to do with his placement? Are you saying that somehow Eiffel managed to create a perfectly aerodynamic ship? Which serves no purpose in space as there is no friction or drag on the ship? The forerunners have no need for a perfectly aerodynamic ship. I also see no connection as to how Eiffel would have known where to build this. Even if he had found plans of how to create a forerunner ship and adopted it into his buildings design there is no way he would have build it ontop of the Ark without knowing it was their which means other would have known and it would have been documented and dug up by now. Its a fun theory but it holds no water. Good job!

I will re-disprove you back with logic. First I already did some research about the tower. I know when it is built(no need for mentioning it cuz it does not support you).

I don't really understand some of your parts, but i'll try my best. Eiffel did not design the aerodynamic shape, he simply imitate the symbol he saw on the ground, which the forerunners left.

I already thought of the fact that someone was going to attack me with the aerodynamic part. I have an answer, although the ships were built mainly to fly in space, but they also fly inside the atmostpheres of planets or installations. It is shown or described in books and the games. Although the copied anti-grav technology the covenant use, does not require a aerodynamic shape of the craft, but it still would make sense if the air could flow easily around the ship to reduce drag inside the atmostphere. Right?

I said that the location of the eiffel tower was pre-determined by who ever organized the whole project and all he needed was to think of the design for it.

I didn't say how deep down it was. It could be in the crust, mantle or even the core of the earth, you can't just say ok there is a symbol on the ground, lets dig it. Digging would be a big project and require a lot of money.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

I think it is an excellent idea not only because it's ingenius, but we would have to demolish France to get to it!

Everyone knows that the end of France is a good thing.

Well if it's in the core then it is really buried under every where, not just France. And still I don't understand how we would have known were to build the Eiffel tower. And if they knew where to build it, and they knew that the ark was below, then don't they already know what they want the design to be like, a forerunner ship?

And on another note, just as a question, but how did the forerunners create false gravity on the Halo's? Do they just have extremely dense crusts? It does not seem physically possible.

You basically didn't disprove anything because he never said that the builder new that it was ship. He basically saw the design and thought "omg that looks like the shiz" and made it. The only problem I have with the theory (and it's not really a problem) I just want to know why it took us so long to find the symbol.

I really appreciate you help me to help others understand what i'm trying to say. It is easier with 2 people.

Finding things it pretty hard. Why do we keep finding new dinosaur fossil? Can't find everything eventhough it is very important. This is fiction.

When the Ark "ejected us" were did we go that it took us that long to find the symbol? I'm not flaming just want to know

The forerunners purposely left little clue, so that we will find out when the time is right.

Where are the facts about the symbol that he found?

Also on a note of the aerodynamics, it is aerodynamic because it is 'hollow' the forerunner ships aren't, they remove the genious of its design.

Just curious, how do you know they're not hollow?

This Fanfic, no need for fact about the symbol. Any slick design is aerodynamic. Forerunners ships were aerodynamic, the tower was built hollow to save resource, reduce weight, and be more aerodynamic.

So your saying that this entire thing is built around some symbol that he may, or may not have seen? When there is proof that he choose the design becasue it was very close to the design of many bridges that he made. Did you pull the symbol out of your ass or do you think that you can show how he got the idea for the shape? I think that even if this is fan-fict you should be able to back it up. And it is aerodynamic because of how it channels the wind.

Also to ConfusedCrib, note the ribbing on the Eiffel tower and how it was built to let the wind flow through it, where the wind cannot flow through the solid exterior walls of the forerunner ships.

First off by hollow I thought you ment the interior of the ship so sorry.The shape in the ground was a picture of the ark as he shows the simmalarities in the two pictures at the beggining. That is why they are so similar because the Eiffle tower is based on a drawing of the ship.

Now that I think about it...the forerunner ship does look an awful lot like the Eiffel Tower.

I know it was a picture of the Ark, but we know that in real life that is not how he got the idea for the shape. I think that he has a very weak theory, and the corner stone of the theory is some symbol of a forerunner ship that doesn't exist. Sorry, I didn't really know what to say about the Eiffel tower, I guess hollow wasn't the best word.

I believe the Eiffel Tower should be described as an Aerodinamically-wind-central-activated-hollow-forrunner-Frenc h-tower.

u guys make it seem like theres really a halo in the ground. Hes juss tryin to make a cool point or theory about halo. Its like the DaVinci code where he puts all these cool facts together and makes a book bout it, thats all hes tryin to say all this was happenin in the halo(game, not reel life) world not the reel world.

what he's saying is that the area in the trailer is in africa but is only a part of a giant gun. He's prabably tring to say that the main entrance is under paris

great idea, but i still think that the area in the trailer is definitely NOT paris, it looks a lot more like africa. possibly near mombasa, but im not sure. my main reason for not thinking it's paris is because paris would not have that much sand blowing around, it would have many more buildings (although destroyed/ decimated).


he said that that was a different part where it was just a weapon not paris....goodness... the ark is the earth, thats a weapon of the ark in the trailor in AFRICA and the trigger and forerunner ship is in PARIS FRANCE... NOT africa....lol...

cool theory, a little more interesting than the other theories on the forum.

But, since you posted it, i reserve my right to point out flaws. I am not flaming, so dont get worked up.

I highly doubt that the Eiffel tower would be changed to look like that. That structure does resemble the Eiffel tower, but if something were to happen to it, humans would rebuilt the tower to its old look. its a monument, no need to modernize it. we dont write over the faded words on the declaration to make it look better (we just have copies with clearer text).

what i'm saying is that probably isnt be the Eiffel tower... and your theory probably isnt true.

kudos for creativity, i know i haven't come up with any theories, so i definately cant flame u.
