Other Glyphs
- Several known Forerunner symbols exist. Information about them can be found here.
Theories
Moon Phases
- Sparked by a post from Foz, a theory came about that the glyph may be representative of lunar phases.
- June 14th, AdjutantReflex indicated it 'had begun' - a new moon.
- June 21st, Server 01 opened - first quarter
- June 30th - full/blue moon
- July 7th - last quarter
- July 14th - new moon
- Some clips from the Server 01 video seem to depict the moon, and the beam projected from the Ark may be aimed towards the moon (but that's a guess)
- The Forerunner installation on earth may be a gateway... or the moon may be a Key of some kind... the theory being that a connection would be made between the Forerunner installation and the moon when a specific alignment is met - shown by the glyph, moon phases.
- At each of those Glyph phases, we may be able to expect a revelation.
- The glyph could therefore be viewed as a countdown - not just a numeric server counter, but an actual 5 step countdown to a larger event.
