One thing i find a little funny about the Halo 3 trailer is that that Forerunner thing was never detected before? I mean they are pretty advanced at this point at time and they didnt detect it? We could have detected that today in our modern time...thoughts?

I don't think anyone would have tried looking in the desert sands for something they don't know is there, plus maybe it's made of some sort of unknown material (like the covie ships)

It could be super deep in the ground. Also it might just show up onsensors as rock

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

1. Look how deep it is buried, it would take probably 10 years to find it.

2. A city was built over it (called New Mombasa).

It being masked as rock is a logical explanation, but still the city was built over it, there should have been something in the city that came close to the object, or that that was an odd place for such a large mass of rock to be...with the height of those buildings in New Mombasa there should have been supports that went way down in the ground near the forerunner object.

I meant by sensors, we should be able to see things of that magnitude using sensors in modern time. That thing should also have been giving off somesort of energy in the form of heat, light etc under ground, and even if it was "shut down until then" things still give off energy in someway.

I think it would make sense if a city was built on top of it, how many city ppl check whats 200 feet below the ground?

Surveyors, seismologist, many people check whats 200ft below them.

Actually, it seems the Ark or something related is underneath Old Mombasa, but still...

I'd be inclined to think it would be difficult to discover such a structure if it was buried hundreds of feet below the surface of a city.

The thing was buried like 10 miles under the Earth's crust and the Covenant was excavating it with like fussion explosions...so no i don't think we would find it.

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

10 miles?!?! Have you seen the trailer? It is nowhere near 10 miles beneath the surface. The Ark (or whatever it is) probably deflects radar and sonar and all that good stuff.

The core is a good couple of thousand miles deep. And the artifact could well be ten miles deep. The covenant cruisers were absolutely dwarfed by it and one of them is at least a mile in length if not more.

Well you saw for yourself how deep in the ground it was, not to mention if it is indeed made of a metalic alloy, then it would have blended in because there are many metals deep in the ground, so it wouldnt have been detected. Its also probably aged a lot, so any radiation or other emissions from it probably have warn off over time.

We know more about space than we do of our oceans...
