I got this of the RAP4 forum:
"well i think that i just found ur ending...i was looking at the halo forum on red vs blue.com and i found something called humans are the forerunners..it sounds kinda stupid at the beginning but then it all starts to make sense...here it is
***SPOILERS****
Okay, I posted this on HBO, and IGN.com, and I think it may bear mentioning here.
Okay, this has been bugging me for a good long time. There are 7 Halos, each with a 25,000 light-year range of effect. I did research, and as it turns out, our galaxy, the Milky Way is 100,000 light-years in diameter.
Well, I took some pictures of our galaxy, and opened up a brand spankin' new MS paint doc.
I took an overhead view of the galaxy, and divided it into four sections, each approximately 25,000 light-years in width, illustrated with blue stripes. I then looked up Halo's diameter, and range of its weapon effect. (10,000km diameter, 25,000 light-year range of effect). So, that said, four Halos could be lined up horrizantaly, each at an interval of roughly 25,000 lightyears, and span the entire galaxy with thier effective ranges.
So, I tried to figure out where the Halos would go in order to cover the entire galaxy. I ended up putting one 2 on the 1/4 line going vertically, 3 on the 1/2 line, going vertically, with one close to the galactic center. I put the other two close to the 3/4 line, also vertically.
When they were in place, I noticed that there was one tiny spot not covered by a blast radius. I also found that I couldn't move one of the radii into place over there without giving up a very large section of the galaxy.
I took a different overhead view, this one showed the names of the spiral arms of this galaxy, and the part not covered was a small portion of the Perseus arm. To be more specific, it did not cover Sol System.
Now, this is pretty amazing in my opinion. The one place a Halo's blast could not reach without giving up a different, larger portion of the galaxy happened to be Sol System. This isn't because I love humans, or I wanted it to be like that (trust me, I don't). It is eerily odd.
This gives some pretty nice proof (in my eyes) that Earth IS the Ark spoken of in Halo 2. In biblical stories, Noah, commisioned by God, was told to build an Ark, so many cubits x so many cubits x so many cubits. What the h*** is a cubit anyway. Nevermind, I digriss.
So, this Ark was the only palce on Earth to be able to be saved by the 40 day and night torrential FLOOD God was about to bring. Noah was told to bring aboard 7 pairs of every ritually clean animal, and 1 pair of every "unclean" animal. (ritually clean animals were Doves, pigeons, oxen, sheep, and some others I can't remember), Noah's wife, sons, and his sons' wives.
So, once God FLOODED Earth, and the FLOOD was all gone, God made a COVENANT with Noah never to FLOOD the earth again. This is signified by a rainbow, the crappiest of miracles.
So, translating this from Bible to Halo, we get:
So-and-so (person-A) was instructed by so-and-so (person-B) to create an Ark that could survive the Flood once the Halos were activated. A place that would lie in a dead zone where none of the Halos' blasts could reach (Earth). So, Person A creates an Ark that could survive the Flood, and once the Flood is go (all life is destroyed), Person-A and several other Person-A like individuals (Forerunners) could emerge and re-populate the galaxy.
Now, approx. 100,000 years ago, the Halos were last activated. Also approx 100,000 years ago, Homo-Sapiens take the high rung on the Food Chain. So, if Person-A comes to the Ark (earth) with the other Forerunners (possibly humans) that would explain why Humans were able to survive the last Halo activation.
So, it is in my conclusion, that the Forerunners are Humans, and the Ark is, or is on Earth.
Stop me if I'm rambling."
this is the 2nd half:
"The following is a theory I posted on the website Sector 7. I posted this about one month after Halo 2's release, but I thought I'd run it by you guys again. My origional post can be found in a link at the bottom, but I ask you to please read this version first.
After thousands of careful calculations (well, really just staring at the blank screen after I beat Halo 2, in betrayal) I've come to the following conclusion. Humans are, or were the forerunners. I've sort of thought this ever since I read the Halo books, and beat the original halo, but now I have great proof from beating Halo 2.
In no real order, just as I remember them, this is my proof...
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? That’s where are 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"
sorry for it being so long.
