Where've you been, man????

In Response To: Re: Significance of Forerunner location in H3 Trai (Ape Man) You haven't been around for quite a while, where have you been? I think I'll see Google Earth and check on what you're saying. I'm interested. *drool* : The Chief isn't north/northeast of Kilimanjaro. He's southeast. : You identified the structure in the background as the New Mombasa bridge, but : it's in fact the remains of the collapsed space elevator (Frankie said so : himself in the last Bungie Weekly Update). This structure would be many : hundreds if not thousands of miles high and so its wreckage could stretch : all the way across Africa and beyond; what's important is that the : wreckage leads back towards New Mombasa in the background (again, : identified as such by Frankie in his update). : Look at a map of Kenya/Tanzania. Draw a straight line between Kilimanjaro and : Mombasa. The Chief (and the artifact) are somewhere along that line, as : Kilimanjaro and Mombasa appear in the trailer as being almost exactly 180 : degrees apart from each other on the horizon. : As others have noticed, there's a song on Halo 2 Volume 2 soundtrack called : "The Road to Voi." Bungie's generally pretty tight-lipped about : specific locations, but here's a song about a road to a very specific : location, obviously significant enough that it's got a song named after : it. : Bust out your Google Earth and go exploring. Look for Voi, Kenya, and you'll : find that it sits almost perfectly on a straight line drawn from : Kilimanjaro to Mombasa. Hell, drop your Google Earth camera down to the : ground and look at the hills surrounding Voi. They're remarkably similar : to the hills behind the Chief at the start of the trailer, and they even : frame Kilimanjaro in the same way. : I'd bet we know exactly where the Artifact is.
