The Cradle of Life is a flash animation web comic released in June 2007 on Halo3.com as an opening attraction and first step of what would later become the Iris viral marketing campaign. It tells a short story about a Tribal Elder of an ancient civilization, presumably very early humanity. It takes place in the continent of Africa, planet Earth, over 100,000 years ago.
Synopsis
This comic[1] tells the story of N'chala, who goes every morning to the same spot in the plains, and watches something special. The comic implies that some "gods" ( perhaps the Forerunners) are building a huge machine on the ground of the plains of Africa. This structure, constructed by several very large machines resembling Enforcers, appears to be the Cartographer portal, which leads to the Ark. This is the only known Forerunner structure on Earth.
On the last page of the comic, there are 3 panels. They are each able to be moved with the mouse to reveal certain numbers. When the numbers were arranged in order, they became an IP Address, 206.16.223.65, which lead to a site. This site was part of the Alternate Reality Game, Iris.
