: The problem with that is that there is no archaeological evidence for past a
: high tech civ on Earth 100,000 years ago.

: OK, the Haloverse isn't our universe but they would still have had
: archaeologists and they couldn't have missed the evidence.

: There is also the web comic that showed an african tribesman watching the
: portal being built. That suggests that we were not high tech at the time
: though its not conclusive proof.

: And we know that there were other, higher tech, civs in the galaxy. The
: terminals tell us this. They had pleasure craft spaceships and transports,
: big cities, and nukes.

: I think that we were, somehow, related to the Forerunners. This could have
: been a relation by blood, which ties into all that sins of the Father
: stuff — or it may have been some shared taint, a taint of
: interference by some higher beings. It would be someting that would be
: immediately apparent. Either because we were the same species or it would
: be something that a Luminary would pick up on the first scan.

: I'd like to say more but I really have to finish this post now.

: Catch you on the flip side...

More good ideas.

I was thinking that when humans returned to Earth via the portal that they would build their civilization on top of the previous "attempt" by humanity before the Halos killed them.

I'm not necessarily suggesting that humans returned to build their new civilization upon skyscrappers and space stations and nukes, for example (that would be pretty ridiculous). It would be more realisitic for humans to return to build upon ancient civilization (think greeks or a little earlier than greeks, etc.). The Greeks had a lot of culture and civilization, and I think that would have been more than enough material for the Forerunners to determine (even in brevity) if we should be the reclaimers.

I think it's more than acceptable to assume that the "archeological" evidence could be in the form of ancient ruins from the Greeks or pre-dating them.
