“Dawa Manthu”… are these the first words we’ve heard spoken by our Ancient Ancestors? I’ve waited so long for them to expand upon Ancient Human lore and what we would do with the relics we have found from their time. I simply cannot wait! I MUST have more 🤩

It's time, the Mantle is calling.

For those who are confused  - when the Ancient Humans lost to the Forerunners, the Forerunners basically preserved who they were by turning them into engrams of a sort they imprinted into the minds of humanity, so that they may slowly resurface and reteach humanity what they had loss

This is impart the secret behind a few Human techs, like the Spartan Program, the ghosts of our ancestors whispering, nudging, their children onto the path to return to greatness.

They finally gave us a height for ancient humans, rougly just under 7ft tall 17:45

Reminds me a lot of the scientist logs you find on the derelict reaper in Mass Effect 2

Altman be praised.

Need more Ancestor content, PLEASE?!?!

What an appropriate title. If I had to theorize we have cases of genesongs deteriorating over time and thus not activating properly, cases of genesong humans attempting to take control of their hosts such as the case of the Spartan, and perhaps certain researchers containing a genesong that is the same and thus they are sharing information such as the wedding memory incident.

I wish they would make a halo game based around this ship

You know, if there are Human Ancestors still out in the Galaxy, they might not be too friendly or happy with the former covenant aliens who tried to genocide their descendants

I always wanted to know more about the Ancestors, and this definitely gave me some answers--and is certainly going to fuel some more questions! As always, love Alex Wakeford's work!

The Shaping Sickness doesn't want us to learn the truth!

Here are the Section Timestamps for anyone who wants to go back to a certain one.

Perhaps we will see Flood in Halo 7?

Kholo name dropped 👀

Would be cool if they could have gotten someone like Scott Brick or Euan Morton to voice this.

Imagine a spin off set in this era... The possibilities

Did I felt a dejavú or they uploaded this before?

This is an absolutely amazing story.
