I'm beginning to think the Humans aren't Forerunner because they aren't referred to as Forerunner by the Monitor. BUT the part where he says the "Our history" but Our is for many things

here's an example:
Americans and British(first one of the top of my head)
ok, they share history, but they aren't the same,so any one of the first to aforementioned parties can refer to that shared history as "Our history" ie. American Revolution etc.

So I'm thinking the Forerunner and Reclaimers are entirely different races, and therefore if that's true we aren't their descendants. But the Forerunner could of "engineered" us for dealing with the Halo's. It would explain why the Monitor has a name for us.

edit:wow, first real post in a long time

If indeed the gods and angels mythology sprang from our interaction/observation of the Forerunner, then it was while they were creating the Ark, or while they were interacting with us in preperation.

Or do you mean something else?

I'm fried though. The sweet song of slumber rings in my ears.....

you know i was just playing the end of Halo CE and i thought it was kinda interesting in The Maw when 343 says: ;This is so fascinating! A record of of all our lost time! Human history you call it, interesting.' This is right before he tries to fry MC and cortana to bacon bits and put them on a salad. anyway its kinda weird that he says human history you call it. like... we named it something funny. like we should have named it something else... note: im not saying he meant to call it forerunner history but im just thinking .. . i dunno it sounded funny to me. esp after reading this thread.

EDIT...yeah i know the quote isnt exact. i forgot it by the time i ran to a peice of paper.
