The mega-tsunami thing came from here:

I can also see the bottom, West side of "Europe"..look directly to the right of the bottom of the HEV..notice the Red Sea..the one that was parted (or seperated via Mega tsunami for those non believers) in Egypt to help the Jews Escape ;-)


I agree that the land masses and water bodies on the Halos are not naturally formed, I just dont think they were meant to mimic the continents of Earth.

I do reserve the right to retract that statement should I proven wrong in Halo 3.


Ok I see what you meant now. I still think that it is an awful big coincedence. And if it was all intentionally made like coratana was speculating then I think it would be an even bigger coincedence. But I really am only guessing and I will reserve the right to take back anything I have said as well. Good thinking though.

Probably just another clue Bungie stuck in there saying how Africa is linked to the Halos, in some way

I think youre on to something, at first i always thought it was just bungie being cheap but now i think differently seing as theres some weird object on africa and theres another place looking like africa on 05. Does any one know if theres another africa shaped object on 04. If i get really bored ill look for myself. I think its more than a coincidence (sorry if i spelled that wrong).

it looks like africa and in fact it could be why regret was there on earth and there on 05....hmmm...maybe trying to figure out where in Africa was the ark by landing on "africa" on inst. 05

It would be... on the southern coast, probably. The way that the drop pod is pointing, probably near Zimbabwe or South Africa. But the Ark is closer to Kenya, or that region in Norhteastern Africa.


Okay, you guys do know, that the forerunners died, 100,000+ years ago, Africa didn't even exist the way we see it, it was still connected to South America, and North America was on the was closer to the eastern shore's of Asia. So how exactly would the now Dead Forerunners know that Africa would look like Africa, when Africa wasn't even Africa. And for those who didn't get that. How would the forerunners creat an island the shape of Africa(The Africa we have today) when Africa didn't exist how we know it today.


*Random Part*
Dubai Ports World, is creating a group of Private Islands, that look like all the countries in the world. The Island chain is called.. "The World" and some people have already reserved parts of australia, that has a perfect view of the Dubai Ports... project is said to be done in 2008. and I think the Islands are 30+Million each. not sure lol.. just thought I'd mention it cuz hey.. we talking about continents.. Picture.. uncomplete..

The Halo series is also being written by people who may have subconciously made it look similar to Africa without even realizing it. I forget what the exact psychological term for it is, I want to say implicit memory (specifically semantic memory), but its been awhile since I graduated.

Again, The Red Sea didn't even exist when The Forerunners created halo, im sorry for saying this, but seriously, how can they mimic things, if they don't exist at said time, But from the viewpoint of a person that actually exists, I see what your saying.

are you sure of this? i thought tectonic motion took a little longer than a 100,000 years, but youve given me something to think about: if africa looks the same now than it did back then, and without any tectonic activity involved, this could very well support the "Forerunners created Earth " theory

anyone know enough about geology to confirm this?

343 GS was on the halo for 101,216 years before a Reclaimer came. Africa and South America spread at an average rate of 5.7 centimeters a year, so thats, about around 577,000 centimeters, or roughly 5.7 Kilometers, so Basic Science Blows my theory out of the sky, sorry about that or anybody who I was talking to.

how did it take you guys this long to realize this? i mean, dont you guys even play halo 2 anymore. I noticed this back when i played it the first time through. I never posted because i didnt think it was a big deal and i still dont.


if you read the first post i made sure we were all aware of it being an old find

i just felt it would be a good change of pace from all the:
"ZOMG SPARTANS, READ MY FORERUNNER THEORY, IS HALO 3 COMING TO XBOX, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PS3, MASTER CHIEF IS BLACK, MASTER CHIEF IS WHITE"

thats all. im getting sick of reading the same stuff over and over. im here for discussion, not replying to repeat topics ( and i like to have fun as well)

dont you agree that this is at least something intersting to talk about?

BUT WAIT I CAN FIND JHONSONS CIGAR IN LVL 1 BY HITTING A CAN!! WHAT CAN THIS MEAN, IT MUST BE SYMBOLICAL!1!!!one!!!!2!!
seriously how about we stop making these stupid theory threads and just wait for halo 3 to come out
*edit* I do agree though that this is at least a smarter topic then 45 out of the other 50 topics on the forum

But theory topics make you actually think about the story line and how interesting it is. It makes you think things out, not to mention the count-less controversial topics and misc. things there are.

Dont worry iceman. This is a new topic and a good one. So why do you think that africa appears on the installation? is it a coincidence or is it intentional and why?

Put all 7 rings ontop of eachother, you will likely get Earth in a cylinder form! That's what I think.

If you look you'll notice many details of Africa are missing, no manmade island(New Mombasa) or Madagascar.

I actually noticed that probably a year ago, but I never gave it much thought. As someone else stated, it was probably just a part of the original campaign before bungie changed things.

Actually now that you mention it, I have thought the same that all 7 rings are a reconstructed earth flipped inside out. Good call.

Or did you ever think bungie got lazy and just decided to make the same landmasses on halo as on earth that way they didn't have to make up thier own

How hard do you really think it could be to make new land mass? I could give my three year old brother a pen and paper and in 5 seconds he could draw you a perfectly acceptable land mass.

It is similiar to Africa but isn't identical, besides I don't see the Red Sea above it.

It is not a "narrow ribbon" however I forget how big it is. And each map and video is made specifically, they dont "accidently" put a map with an Africa continent on it. It took hours to make. Anyone see anything like this in the first Halo?
