The Watchers + SOTA's Ancients = The Forerunners

A few of you may recall my last "major" theory titled Trautmann's Clue: A Dictionary of Answers. I used several hints/clues left by Eric Trautmann (original keeper of the Halo Bible) to try and predict where Bungie was going with the Halo storyline. I posted the theory over at HBO, and to my disbelief... Trautmann actually replied. He basically shot down most of the theory, but he also said, "Some of the other stuff, definitely on the money. :)" After 2 years, and with the help of Bungie's latest viral campaign, I can point out one of the things he was referring to as "on the money." Here it is, an exerpt from that theory:
"Many have found uncanny similarities between the Forerunners and humans, but it’s seems a bit obvious that they’re not exact. The Forerunners are described by the Covenant as techno giants; knowing and implementing a level of technology that’s far beyond anything either the Covenant or Humans have an original understanding of. 343 Guilty Spark refers to the Forerunners as such in Halo 2, but he never refers to any human as a Forerunner. The Covenant description of the Forerunners, as well as the description given in the Covenant Primer, matches a particular group of angels. They are a high order of angels and carry the title of the Watchers; also known as the Grigori. They resemble men in appearance, but are taller than giants. The Watchers were sent by God to instruct man in the beginnings of civilization; however, many became fallen angels after they descended to earth to teach man forbidden sciences and started cohabiting with mortal man. The Watchers who cohabited with mortal man spawned a new race. These offspring were the Nephilim. In Hebrew lor, the Nephilim stands for the giants of primeval times, fallen angels (demons) themselves. One of the reasons, often not discussed, for the Biblical flood was to rid the Earth of these half-breeds. Let me put it another way, cause for the Biblical flood can be traced back to the fallen angels."
Now read the first underlined part again, then scroll down this page and watch this vid of SOTA protestors in New York (LINK). As for the second underlined part, that's just trippy and may have some influence somewhere else in the Haloverse... Trautmann did say "other stuff." I'm not sure how, if at all, this will help the discussion surrounding AR, but it's cool nonetheless:-)
Also, 100,000 years ago also happens to be the last time you asked me (3:16), which is proven on the 12th question of this interview between Joe Staten and the Halo Story Page. My guess... THIS symbol = THIS;-)
