In Response To: Common sense dictates certain answers? (John_117) : You have no idea when or by whom those ruins were built. Nobody other than : Bungie and 343 knows. : But like always, people jump to conclusions... by seeing something that has : yet to be explained, they incorrectly analyze the situation and try to : discredit the reasoning behind said structures. : Is it not possible the these ancient ruins (We don't even know how old, they : could be tens of thousands of years old) were built by a race such as : ours, or the Asian architecture on Earth was merely influenced by secret : histories? i.e A style of forerunner or precursor design? : This is one episode we've seen, a new area of the Halo universe finally being : scratched at. We're all equally ignorant, and of course barely informed by : ONE SINGLE EPISODE, as I'm sure was the intended design, so how the HELL : can we be jumping to conclusions? : I think people should start looking into possible theories or different : reasoning behind certain things that are and will be presented in the near : future related to the Halo lore. Instead of seeing something new or : different, and automatically freaking out as a result of, the "Nobody : ever mentioned this," "No one ever said that existed," : "How is that possible if this is like this?" mentality. : - Helveck Here's where the common sense comes in. They are described as "clearly not-human" buildings. This is clearly incorrect. They are, in fact, disturbingly human on a planet that has assuredly been not explored by humans before. If you suppose this is an intentional mystery, then you must also suppose all the humans looking at these ruins are incredibly stupid or ignorant of their own histories. Then again, if these people are familiar enough with all Covenant architecture to decree the ruins not built by said Covenant, you'd assume they would be able to differentiate these buildings from our own. Sure, it's a mystery, and maybe even something that will be spun into something intriguing, but those interactions paint it as a mistake, or artistic license, or something else completely mundane.
