Again I don't post often unless I'm indeed in need of divulging my own knowledge of the vast Halo Universe. Again I feel my voice should be heard here today!!!

I will begin with this first revelation:


"And God set them in the firmament of the sky to give light [could be interpreted as "protection"] on the Earth"
~Genesis (here's the big one coming right here) 1:17 <<<< That is Genesis One-One-Seven!

Do I have your attention now?!?!

Very Good I Shall Continue!

"Noah went into the "ARK" [you still interested] with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waves of "the flood".
~Genesis 7:7 <<<< Coincidence with the 7's? I think not!

"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of "the great deep" [possibly refering to a great chasm or hole in the earth] were burst open, [big explosion right there] and the sky's windows were opened. [Anyone else remember the hole in the sky in the H3 trailer and the large storm that appeared to be brewing?]"
~Genesis 7:11 <<<<I'm not even going to say it!!!

So here ya go! Jahovah and Noah = Two Very Important Members of Forerunner Society
You laugh but again many should admit this is compeling!

Jahovah [read God] is a higher rank or of some superior stature to Noah and orders him to begin construction of the Ark!! [read "giant hole in the ground seen in trailer"]

This is all I will say for now but will comment more on these findings and other theories I have as they become of pertinent importance.

This title is alittle misleading. I didnt think by ancient world, you ment only biblical. There are alot of threads on this. I dont want to start a flame war. (got in trouble for it before.) .Some of your connections have been made before in a broader since. Especially genesis, which seems to have alot of connections to halo. I was just expecting a wider variety of connections to the ancient worlds.

Is the flood in halo representative of Noah's flood?
Well?

God made a promise to never curse the world with such a flood ever again.
100,000 years after the first out break in halo, there has been 3, count 'em, 3 outbreaks.
The deluvian school of thought holds water, but not well.

I didn't know if anyone else had already posted these findings or not.Not being one to post often, I'm also not one to read posts all that often. LOL! Oh well... One of my most solid beliefs behind possible plot line is also [and I know this has already been theorized as well] time travel! At the beginning of the chapter "Two Betrayals" in Halo:CE 343 Guilty Spark says the following to MC:

"Why would you hesistate to do what "YOU" have "ALREADY DONE"? "LAST TIME" when you asked me, 'If it were my choice would I still do it?' Having had CONSIDERABLE TIME to process your query... my answer has not changed. We must activate the ring!"

This to me screams the likely possibility that MC goes back to a time before Halo:CE and ends up activating the rings with the help of 343!

Just stating this little fact. No where that I've posted this find before has anyone recalled this whole dialog. I find that rather amusing... LOL Anyways Keep the comments coming.

And please disarm your "flame" throwers!

The 343GS dialogue from The Library.... There is a huge HUGE amount of speculation about what he actually meant... Did he mean the MC or someone else? Did he mistake the MC for someone else or was he talking about MC as a human in general rather than personally as an individual??

OH MY GOD MY BRAIN.

Whoever said light can be protection, its this.

In the Bible, light is often a source of protection, when God is around, you can't see his protection, you have to trust its there. Light is often the inflexable area, just trust me.

God, also promotes the free will of man and all beings. God didnt curse the world with the flood the second and third time, the covenent did out of there free will. In other words, god doesnt control the actions of humans, or other beings. We control ourselves and God only knows the outcomes of everything that we can do, but can't stop us from doing anything.

think about adam and eve, she used her free will and ate the damn apple, now we all got screwed on that move. But again, she did it out of her own free will.

That doesn't explain my question though.
The great flood occured once and never ever again.
In halo, the flood is released repeatedly.

Even with mentioning free will, the parallel Noah's flood doesn't add up. The flood only occures once in the Bible, and never again.

Yes, Biblically speaking and let's go as far to say as far as Forerunner recorded history goes... The Flood only plauged Earth once! Thus the rings were activated wiping out all life in the galaxy, Flood, Forerunner and the like. And everything [life] restarted! Those that survived were in the Ark that Noah [our possible Uber-Forerunner dude] built and therefore survived. Then something unknown happens to the Forerunners and their technology is for the most part lost. So only one Flood outbreak occured on Earth and was therefore recorded in the Bible by the Forerunners! The other outbreaks occured on Halo Installations not on Earth. And for that matter occur thousands of years after the Bible is born into existence.

Continue the commentary as this subect keeps getting more interesting! Let's also here some more on my possible:

"ARK" of the "COVENANT"

angle that I came across!!

Y es, interesting [url=http://bungie.net/fanclub/mkhmn/GroupHome.aspx]indeed[/u rl].


The only thing that God promised, was to never have a flood like the one noah suffered through. As it is only 8 people were left to tell the tale, and there are still billions living on earth. So basically the flood is still manageable at the moment, where as in the bible it wasnt. Technically that means God is keeping his promise by not letting the flood become too over powering.

Plus the master chief will defeat the flood, without having to actyivate the halo's, remember however f'd up cortana is, she still is an AI and it seems like she cares greatly for the chief. In Amber Clad is still on high charity, and can still be detonated and destroy the gravemind. Leaving the reminence of the flood less of a burdon.

All the MC has to do is..

Stop the Covenant from firing the halo's. And detonate high charity to save earth, we also cant forget about the Arbiter. The Arbiter's role is to help the Chief so this will make these tasks a LITTLE easier. The chief promised cortana he would go back for her so think about that as well.

Again... at this point the flood is manageable, unlike noah where the flood wasnt. Also if god breaks a promise the world becomes non existant, because God is never wrong.

forerunners, covenant, covenant vehicles, the masterchief, all these things ARE NOT IN THE BIBLE. the bible does NOT foretell what will happen in a freakin GAME. the game, if anything, will be made off of the bible, not the other way around.

btw, the title of this post "Startling New Connections Between The Halo World and Our Ancient World!!!" suggests that halo is a separate dimension

but halo is only a game.
the bible is not.
stop making posts saying that the bible says what will happen next in halo.
or that the bible says things about what the forerunners did.
or that the bible says the covenant were here before.
or that the bible says the masterchief is our last hope.
even if the flood were real, we have no special weapons or anything to defend ourselves against the flood, assuming that the covenant arent also attacking us because somehow the bible says the ark is on earth and is the final way to activate all the halos.

where the -blam!- were you when your family was at church? God promised to never have such a devastating flood again. has it happened? do you think it will happen especially since god promised, and for well over 2000 years it hasnt?

wow little too much caffeine for you this morning huh unique? Knock it down a few RPMs and reread everything that has been said. I'm pointing out connections! Nothing more! We are specualting as to some source material Bungie may have used and this biblical content is compelling!


As for the devoted non-flame throwers who have been generously contributing to this thread! I thought up another link with the ARK of the COVENANT!!

The ARK was said to contain the "POWER OF GOD"!! And as referenced by an image in Indy Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark... [hehe thank you Steve and George for all your time] It shows a picture of a very powerful beam shooting forth from the Ark!

We now have two really solid Ark connections here!!

Some people refuse to think that halo has been influenced by Biblical themes and stories.
*shakes head*
I am impressed that you mentioned both Arks, too. The few that do see the biblical face can't see past Noah and his box. You're one of the few [of the few].
