i know its already been said before, but i don't pay attention. look, the halos have the exact same atmosphere and landscape as we do.except for the fact that its a ring, it's similar to earth. and guess where the Ark is? Earth. It just so happens that we live on earth. i think we fired all the halos, but maybe a few people from each race survived. but no one remembers what happened. idk. someone talk to me about it.

yeah maybe we were once part of the covenant except that after the halos were fired the races became scattered, that would be a cool twist.

idk. maybe some outran the blast and came to earth. maybe our home planet was Reach or Harvest. maybe some pilgrims in little black hats came to earth. maybe we were allies with the covenant but after we toasted all of known space they got angry at us. maybe we didn't rememeber because we didin't want to, so we didn't tell our kids. maybe the covenant did tell their children, and thats why they know about the halos. wow. i'm sorta making sense

You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

Well, if you don't pay attention to the hundreds of posts on this subject on this forum why should we give a crap about yours? Also, no one ever said the Ark was on earth. Something Forunner is definitely under the earth, but then again there were plenty of forunner artifacts on reach, and under other Human controlled planets. Stick with my theory:
The Ark is located in the MC's pants.

I am...whimsical today.

Nope, we're Reclaimers. Forerunners all died :)
However, do not nesiccerily think in terms of species, but groups. Like the French, the Russians, the Brazilans etc.
Most of the Covenant seem to be able to breath on the Halo instalations (with the exeption of the Grunts), and we do not know what their homeworlds look like. They could be similar to ours.
The Ark is the main point tho. What is it doing here? Way out on the edge of the Galaxy (more or less). If the Ark saved members of the Covenant also, then why are they not here with us on Earth?

Oh god I love this stuff :)

That would explain why the Prophets would not offer to let the humans join the Covenant. In the books it points out that the Elites question why this has not happened.

i've got it! at one time we were part of the covenant. after we deep fried most of everyone, we all went back to earth and they (the covenant now) helped us (humans) to build the ark. but when we were finished, we started fighting over the ark and who would control it. eventuallly we exiled the covenant and they wandered until they found their homeworld. and ever since, we've still been fighting. maybe in halo 3, we'll be freinds again.

yeah. listen to that guy above me. and even if we are reclaimers, mabye if we are still the forunners. 343 GS is a little nutso, so maybe he got us mixed up with the forunners and reclaimers. idk. i'm confusing me.

Bungie has so much more to reveal to us that we don't even know, stuff we proabably aren't even thinking about right now because there's so much unknown that is gonna come into play in the final chapter.

If you remember in Halo 2, the Covenant never expected humanity to exist on Earth.. which only gives more clues that Earth was a very important place during the Forerunners' existence. Somehow the Covenant (or the Prophets) knew this, and they learned of the Artifact which is why they came to Earth. They fled because the Humans were already there.. and I bet going to Delta Halo was a diversion for the most part to get MC away from Earth so more Covenant reinforcements could arrive and wipe out much of the Humans.. so they basically could pave the way for Truth so he could come back and finish whatever he needed to at the Artifact.

Are we Forerunners? Probably not, but I bet we at least had an important role during the time of the Forerunners (hence, our existence on Earth).. perhaps we were created by them and we have some of their DNA, but I really don't think we are THE forerunners.

Why WOULD we remember? No-one knows exactly who built Stonehenge, or how the made the statues on Easter Island. Not disagreeing, just throwing up a decent counter point for you to mull over.

there is no proof leading to humans being forrunner.
there is no proof leading to the ark being on earth.
and the monitor clearly said that all the forrunner were wiped out.

i ask again, then what is that thing on earth then? when did the monitor say that all the forunners were wiped out? maybe he thought they were, but they really weren't. maybe he thought we were all dead and then he didn't recognize MC in his armor and thought he wasn't a forerunner. maybe he didn't recognize the marines either.

Im not one to flame, so i'll say this as nicely as possible, ZOMG!!!!!! teh atmosphere is lyk teh saym so lyk we must be teh forerunners!!!!!1111one. Well, actually, did you know that Elites and Jackals and Brutes breath oxygen too? Yeah, thats why they weren't wearing breathing packs on earth or on either Halos. The landscape? Hmm......did you also know that Reach and Chi Ceti and Jericho and Eridanus and just about every other human colony has a similar landscape to earth? Yup, thats basicaly what happens when a planet has oxygen in it. I'm not trying to say that we definately aren't forerunners, i'm just saying that those aren't valid points. Plus, if we are the forerunners, wouldn't the Covenant be worshipping us rather than slaughtering us? I mean, they've been stealing forerunner technology for a looooonnnnggg time, wouldn't they know by now what they look like?

No-one knows exactly who built Stonehenge, or how the made the statues on Easter Island.
Just for general knowledge.
The statues on Easter Island were built by/for the kings of the island to give them status. Kind of like a really flash sports car :)
However, as competition grew between each successive king, then they demanded the statues be more and more impressive, and thus bigger. Now they used wooden scaffolding to make these statues, and as the statues got bigger and bigger, so did the amount of wood used. Eventually the woodland of Easter Island became irreversibly barren, and the civilization that had lived there collapsed.

You are right. They also almost starved themselves to death when they did it. But it still doesn't explain how they got those giant rocks all the way over there.
