Subtle Clue or Rorschach Test? | |
Posted By: Socrates <fuel4freedom@yahoo.com> | Date: 11/27/04 6:18 p.m. |
In Response To: Forerunner stuff *SP* (BOLL) Although it does look like a hand, the "fingers" look awful thin; not that this discounts the theory that it's a depiction of a hand. If it is a hand depicted there, it isn't human or related to a human. (In a roundabout way, this brings up the question of what the "Ark" of the Forerunners--presumably either Earth itself or something on it, possibly the device mentioned in the Ilovebees.com radio theater--actually is. Assuming that Bungie is being very precise with its language, the ark could be a "chestlike vessel in which Noah and his family were preserved during the Deluge" or "any place of refuge" or an "oblong chest of acacia wood . . . which supported the mercy seat with its golden cherubs. . . ." (Definitions provided by Hyperdictionary.com.) Personally, I'd go with the latter, and that has implications which should be discussed in another thread, so as to keep this one on-topic.) In view of the latter possibility mentioned in the subject line, I should point out that the entire panel is symmetrical along the vertical axis, and while the artists at Bungie probably didn't fold over a painted piece of canvas or paper to obtain their control panel designs, it does suggest that we may all be reading a bit too much into this texture. I include myself in that statement, especially in light of the following: I see a heart in the upper corners, with an pointer arrow at the tip of the heart, pointing to what looks to me like the fletchings on the safe end of an older "hunting" arrow. ~Socrates |
