As the diorama was supposedly made as part of a museum display many years after the war, that it may in fact be an intentional distortion of what actually happened, in order to prevent knowledge of the [[Forerunner]], the [[Halo Array]], and the [[Ark]] from being gained by [[civilian]]s. This would fit with the fact that there has been no description of such a battle in any other location. Likewise, the battle indeed may ''have'' taken place, with [[John-117]]'s participation added to provide an official explanation for his disappearance.
After the [[Battle of Mombasa]], the city and the surrounding area were [[Glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant in order to unearth the [[Forerunner]] [[Portal]] structure under the region. Little is known about possible fighting taking place in the area after this. When John-117 returned to Earth on November 17th, he fought in the [[Tsavo]] region and the town of [[Voi]], but was not present in Mombasa. However, it is unknown whether fighting, and a possible battle similar to the one depicted in the monument, actually took place in Mombasa at this time, only without the Spartan present.
