I dunno, sounds like a silly theory. .. Could be true.

I just think it kind of writes out the people who put up the Eiffel Tower...

Wow, it's been a while since there's actually been a useful topic in the Halo 3 forum. Some other people are total retards. Any who, great theory I like it from what I read.

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, it is fiction. He liked the symbol. Beauty is a subjective thing because what everyone define is different. I did back it up, the forerunners put the symbol there.(i could of pull it out of my @ss, Joking)

I don't know what you're trying to get with the aerodynamic thing. I clearly explained everything in the story, just go back and read it more carefully. I said the shape was aerodynamic because it was once a thing that blew in the air. I explained why the architect didn't build it like the original. To save resource and to make it more aerodynamic when it is standing up right, not flying like the shape was designed to.

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


Thank You!! You're like one of the few who understands what i'm trying to point out.

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.


Word up! Exactly what i'm trying to do.

Bungie never said anything about the thing in Halo 3 trailer was the ark. They simply called it the "alien artifact".

OMG! That must mean that, because the astrodome looks kinda like the Forerunners artifact under Africa the Ark must be under Houston, Texas!!


You're stupid. Trying to make fun of my theory with the stupidest example ever. I had a story, the ship which looks like eiffel tower was the ride for the forerunners to get to the Ark. Astrodome example is just really dumb. If you really think so, then make connections to the halo story and write your own fanfic.

wow. OMG it looks like iffel tower. and a pencil with legs. and a tripod. and a deformed spider. and ther random stuff with legs. and another legged pen. and some pokemon..uhh dunno the name.

OMG! THAT MUST MEAN ITS FROM FRANCE, AFRICA, PENCIL-LAND, PALLET TOWN, RANDOMSTUFF TOWN. all at once.

anway, flamming aside:-

The ark is in africa. the ship came from high charity. not a plac on earth.

Now if you were saying that highcharity is based on france... WTF?

Read carefully. Bungie never confirmed where the ark is. They simply said that there is an artifact in the halo 3 trailer. I said there is another ship. Are you stupid, you think that the forerunners with all their tech would only have one ship. Pls post with logic or you're just making a fool of yourself.

Spartan IIIDelta, quit quoting everyone who doesn't agree with you and trying to shoot them down. Your theory is the worst one I've ever read on these forums ... get over it.

You do have a grear point. And it is rather odd how much those two pics go together, however it's very unlikely, cool but unlikely.

So you want us to go along with a "theory" and not flame you over it?
Errrr... going to be hard, but ill try.
But an ark under Paris wouldnt make much sense.
Didnt you see the size of the ark? Paris is much too crowded to put anything that size in the middle of that city.
Africa is an appropriate space because nothing goes on over there. Just be glad it doesnt take place in Sudan, or it would be a 3 way fight

How can someone see the ark yet, the one in africa isn't the ark. Bungie, hasn't confirmed it. Plus i said it was underground.

Well with the extensive research that I have done, that is the ark. And so what if Bungie hasnt confirmed it, they do on purpose for the fans to figure out. So when Halo 3 comes out the fans will see if they were right or wrong.
