I've been reading the story page about speculations about the origin of the forerunners and connections between them and the covenant/flood. This connection can be found in the bible, specifically, Genesis 8:11. It reads, "And I will establish my COVENANT with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a FLOOD; niehter shall there any more be a FLOOD to destroy the earth." Now, skip down to verse 13 "I do set my BOW (hmm, half a ring?) in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a COVENANT between me and the earth." Maybe the race known as the Covenant were besieged by an illness that transmuted their bodies, the Flood, and a race of beings far superior to them came to their aid, contained the flood, perhaps through the use of Halo and the Covenant, being a fairly primitive culture at the time, took these Forerunners to be gods of a sort. Anyway, I think bungie is definitely making a connection with Noah here. Any further discussion on this is appreciated.
