Old Forerunner Strucutures on Delta Halo Actually Precursor?
I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but on Delta Halo there were plenty of structures on the ring that differed from conventional Forerunner design. Unlike the usual metallic structures that stood the test of time, these structures were made of stone and were very withered at this time, and looked much older than Forerunner architecture. Now why would they have these sort of structures on the ring?
On the level Regret in Halo 2, Cortana speculates that the Forerunners built newer structures around the old ones to protect them, honor them. It's apparent that the Forerunners revered these ancient relics.
Now here's my theory: These structures are actually Precursor ruins, moved by the Forerunners onto Delta Halo. I know what you're thinking, "Why would they bother in the first place?"
Well the Forerunners revered the Precursors, so they probably moved these ruins to a safer place (Delta Halo) during the Forerunner-Flood war, to preserve their memory.
Well that's the end of my theory. What do you guys think?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] XII CIUTCH IIX Why are they made of stone... but why would Forerunners make things out of stone, they are way too advanced for that also so that adds more plausibility. Maybe they are early Precursor monuments, which answers the stone question. Relics of early Precursor society. What about a mixture? Precursor relics fitted with Forerunner tech?[/quote] I can answer why. In terms of lasting longevity Stone>metal usually, which is why the Precursors, being unknowably wise and powerful, would create monuments of stone. To last longer.

Seems plausible actually. Why didnt i think of this. The underwater tunnels in that level where the four sided stone obelisk with the metal inserts are, those obelisks are clearly placed there and given metal inserts as some sort of display or museum, given the rest of the structure is metal.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] King Nis085 Interesting theory. Plausible indeed. [/quote] although im not sure if bungie even did come up with the idea of precursors during halo 2's development. they were very behind schedule and i doubt they had time to think up this sort of thing [Edited on 11.07.2010 3:11 AM PST]

Hmmm.... What if the rings were built by the Precursors, and then maintained by the Forerunners?
-
I don't agree with this theory. The Forerunner didn't exclusively build metallic structures. The Aztec esque ruins from Delta Halo being Precursor might hold some merit, if the Ark didn't have Egyption esque ruins on it. I believe they just had a variety of structure styles, it was just that the metallic was the primary one.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ajw34307 Hmm... Frankie suggested that the stone ruins from The Babysitter were of Precursor origin. I think that it's certainly a possibility that the ruins on Delta Halo are Precursor, if so then it's likely that the architecture of Sandtrap and Sandbox are the same too. The hieroglyphs on the walls are clearly not the same as Forerunner glyphs.[/quote] Actually, the hieroglyphs on Sandbox and Sandtrap's walls are similar to those of Epitaph, which is undoubtedly of Forerunner origin. It [i]could[/i] simply be Precursor language. Perhaps the Forerunner honored the Precursor as the Covenant honored the Foreunner, and used their glyphs for the holy books, like Humanity did with the Bible. Epitaph [i]does[/i] resemble a church or holy site, and it is presumed that the hologram at the end of the room is Mendicant Bias.

Precursor relics fitted with Forerunner tech?[/quote] They might be early Forerunner structures, although the architectural style does not match. It looks more human than anything, resembling Mayan and other ancient human civilizations. It's thought that Precursor are Human ancestors also. Notice that old Human structures are generally revolving around squares and circular shapes, such as Stonehenge, or the Mayan pyramids, to some extent. The same could hold true to the Forerunner, their early structures being angular and such.

Never thought of that.

But Delta Halo was made by Forerunner. It could be possible that all the Halos' terrain was taken from a Precursor planet.

That's interesting. The buildings in that Halo Legends episode kind of look like the ruins on Delta Halo, too.
-
I've always been a fan of this idea and have mentioned it a couple times before, considering the added facts that the forerunners almost worshiped the precursors and Regret was holed up in a TEMPLE must mean something when coupled with the other evidence. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JABBERWOCK xeno Now that I think about it, the stone structures on delta halo DID look sorta like the ruins in the babysitter... But the forerunners built the Halo's, so how is it possible?[/quote] The Forerunners are world builders. They made all of the rings, the ark, and the shield worlds and you all don't think they can move a couple buildings... As for the state of disrepair, no one knows how old the precursor buildings are, they could be millions of years old, and anything that has been around a couple million years without maintenance will start to fall apart.

The Forerunner built their structures using super dense materials and metals. The Precursor, supposedly super beings to put the Forerunner to shame, build thier structures out of stone. That does not seem logical. There were also other races that existed in the galaxy before the Forerunner rose to power. It is the remnants of these other ancient races that the Forerunner used as a spring board to get to their current level. So these ruins do not necessarily have to be Precursor just because they [i]may[/i] pre-date Forerunner society. Ever wondered that it could also just be ancient Forerunner structures that they wish to preserve as part of their history? It could be like Humanity 1000s of years from now moving Stonehenge or The Sphinx to a safer location, but there happening to be a sophisticated skyline a few miles away.

how on earth could precursor ruins get onto a forerunner construct, its entirely artificial so i don't see how precursor ruins could be on the installation, not considering how it came much after the precursors...

Interesting theory. Plausible indeed.
