| Atlantis and the way things were | |

In Response To: Re: But this prompts a question (Peptuck) : That's probably because the lake, like everything else on Halo, was built. : Its hard to remember that these things are entirely artifical, after all :P In Regret, CHAPTER 02: "One Way Ticket": CORTANA: We never did find out what the deal was with these structures. Its unlikely that they were Precursor. Were they pre-industrial Forerunner? From the Forerunner homeworld? Later: CORTANA: Another one of Cortana's bizare, this is not a natural formation, statements. What kind of cataclysm would dig a crater and yet leave the ring intact? Is it the point of impact of a Flood infested ship or big rock? But why would there be undamaged temple towers in the middle of the lake? They would have to have been made or rebuilt after the cataclysm. It doesn't make sense. Unless... Its a monument to Atlantis... If we go back to the pre Halo 3 days, before the Forerunner concept was changed, when Earth was the Ark and was probably an important Forerunner cultural/technological/financial center... Maybe the old idea was that Forerunner were literally Human or had a colony on Earth that was destroyed in some cataclysm. It may have been a small 'continent' or island that was destroyed in a catalysm, perhaps a caldera exploded. Maybe the Delta Halo Island was a recreation of Atlantis, somewhere near Africa, just as Africa itself was recreated on Delta Halo. The temples were Atlantean structures saved from the cataclysm.
