it says in the H3 trailer information (the right up thing they did after its release) or the FAQ it states that you can clearly see Mt Kilimanjaro in the background. If this is true than the Ark (which we're all assumeing is the mysterious underground structure in the trailer) is in either Tanzania or Kenya. Im going to Tanzania in august and trought the counrty runs a valley called the great rift valley. This is where humans first evolved, and the earliest remains of -blam!- sapiens were found. If the ark is under the great rift valley could this mean humans were released from the Ark, perhaps to ready the world for the forerunner if they stayed inside? or if humans are the forerunner (or decendants), this is where we emerged from where the ark was buried. just wanted to know if this was a good theory, or if anyone had thought about it. It does make me question what body of water new mombasa is on, perhaps lake victoria, as its not neccessarily the sea......commments please!!!

im going to tanzania to visit a friend on her gap year, was doing research on the area and found info about the great rift valley, which is where the earliest human reamins wre found, also a conincidence that some of the most varried life (at least mammal life) is in the area, like the serngety which have loads of safaris. im not actually going there to look for the the ark! im not quite that crazy......yet. just going to watch h3 trailer again to see if i can work out exactly where it was...

You know what, a theory kind of fits in with yours, Mt. Kilimanjaro is clearly proven to be in the backround of the trailer. But in the Halo 2 Vol. 2 soundtrack There is a song title "The road to Voi." Voi is a place on the map right by The Equator, If The This Ark is on the Line of the Equator than maby a ring could be buried beneath the Earth and it just follows Around the Equator!!!!!!!

There is no Halo inside the earth. That wouldn't be consistant with their purpose.

Ya gotta want it!

A friend of mine actually suggested that the humans were the forerunners after he read the books so we looked for evidence to support it and it could be true. The best evidence was that only humans could activate the halo weapon, and that the "oracles" recognize the human arrival and begin telling them that they need to activate the weapon this was on the both Halo and Delta Halo. To add on to the theory (if you don't mind) the prophets could know this secret and be hiding it from the rest of the covenant for fear of loosing their power, and that is why they want to destroy all traces of earth and humans so badly. Here is something to think about...."Why did the covenant not invite humans to join them?" Every other world that they conquered they invited its race to join, but with humans they destroyed every opposition, glassed the planet to take out everything else and moved on.
