Well if you shoot 343 in the Library alot he says "Stop being Human". So this means there could be a noticible difference between humans and forerunners. The relationship is there though it's just what type of relationship is it?

We...shall wait to find the answer in the next edition. I myself have pondered this revelation for quite some time my child.

You forgot the part about the Ark being on Earth. Oh yeah, you also forgot the fact that Waterworks is on Earth and they have Forerunner buildings.

In no order this is proof that humans are foreunners

A: In the first Halo, if you read the book, it says how Master Chief could, and still can find out the right button to push on the control panels of Halo, just from knowing, but not understanding why.

B: Humans have developed self sufficient AI, stuff on par with the forerunners, and in some ways, very similar. Like how Guilty Spark is so whimsical, and joking towards the beginning, like Cortana, both of them exhibit human characteristics, but unlike the only Covenant AI we ever see.

C: When the first Halo was going to be fired, Guilty Spark had to choose a reclaimer, however, THE ONLY TWO RECLAIMERS HE CHOOSE WERE HUMANS. Why no Elites?

D: The second biggest planet that we inhabited was Reach, which just happened to have a VERY important Forerunner artifact on it.

E: When the Covenant came to earth, they sent a VERY small fleet, only about 14 ships. They said it in the game themselves; THEY DIDN'T EXPECT US TO BE THERE.

F: They sent a HIGH PROPHET to retrieve what they thought could be on earth, that shows that earth was a VERY IMPORTANT Forerunners spot, and guess what? Thats where our HOME PLANET is.

G: They only landed ground troops in one spot in the entire world, this one spot also just happens to be the cradle of man kind, Africa.

H: When the index was being retrieved by the Arbiter, Tarturus, three or so brutes, and Keys's daughter, Guilty Spark asked ONLY THE HUMAN, if she was the reclaimer or not.

EI: When asked where the ultimate firing room for the Halos was, it immediately cut into a picture of earth.

MY BEST POINT: The firing device is called The Ark. In the bible, Noah's Ark is what saved all the animals in the world, from extinction, and what continued their species. In fact, the very definition of the word has some interesting tie-ins.

Pronunciation: 'ärk
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English arc, from Latin arca chest; akin to Latin arcEre to hold off, defend, Greek arkein, Hittite hark- to have, hold
1 a : a boat or ship held to resemble that in which Noah and his family were preserved from the Flood b : something that affords protection and safety
2 a : the sacred chest representing to the Hebrews the presence of God among them b : a repository traditionally in or against the wall of a synagogue for the scrolls of the Torah

The definition of the word implies that it was also some kind of protection, and safety vessel. Also notice how the ark from the bible was used to preserve Noah from the FLOOD, just a coincidence?

Guilty Spark said Halo was fired once, and the Forerunners were killed when it went off. But, there is an Ark, which is supposedly on earth. So we can pretty surely presume that this ark is what the Covenant were looking for. They were looking for it in Africa. Again, where man kind started.

My theory is that this ark had two purposes, to keep the Forerunner race alive (save them from complete extinction), and to have a uni-trigger for all Halos

After carefulll looking for evidence I found that the humans are the forerunners because of the moniters speaking human tongues, the halos can only be activated by humans(watch the tarturas video in THE GREAT JOURNEY. Also 343 Guilty Spark makes a reference to human and forerunner relation when talking to the chief in The Maw by saying something like "...a record of all our lost time..."

Yes!
Thank you, I've been trying to stress this point for so long; the human-only activation, the reason for the ark being on Earth, etc.

Ok, I will admit that there is evidence supporting the fact that humans are the forerunners, but in the trailer the ark was activated, and the cheif looked surprised... well.. I guess its hard to tell with his helmet on, but how could we activate something we know nothing about?

I seriously doubt the humans activated the "ark" and the trailer, the covenant most likely activated it thinking it was a forerunner artifact crucial to the great journey or something. We probably dont know about our forerunner past because the only people who survived were on Earth and they forgot about there history because there was no evidence to support it.

ex. We dont know how the sphinx is still standing and we dont know much about it in Egypt which dated back from 2558-2532 bc. It would be hard to believe we would remember about halo which was made 100,000 years ago in another part of the galaxy.

finaly some one who figiued it out... took me 2 seconds after 343 guilty spark said it on halo 1, btw, teh flood was made by teh forerunners as a solution to desiese or somelike that(seeing as how halo cant kill them cuss there not really living, but there parasites)

also, 343 dint name the forerunners as forerunners, only the covies did and the humans took the same name,

And try looking at the first video of Two Betrayals. 343 Guilty Spark seems to mistake the MC for a Forerunner, more specifically, the Forerunner who activated the Halos the first time. He says something like, "Last time, you asked me..." (I can't go get the whole thing right now) and last time can only be referring to the last time the Halos were activated.

He also refers to "human history" as "a record of all our lost time".

I don't think humans were forerunners. I think humans were allies with the forerunners, or created by the forerunners. or something. This is because 343 clearly said the forerunners died. Because humans were allies with the forerunners humans can activate halo, is 343 so much interested in humans and he calls humans reclaimers. Just a thought. We'll see in 2007.
