I find this interesting

To quote from Mal'aak Some of this is real and is being circulated to test groups, but some very naughty person has added the whole second part starting with "As a reward...". As far as I know that second part isn't real, other things yes. Just thought I'd let you know. Although we won't see much of 2058, it's my opinion that Shaw's father, as a missionary in one of the last to be inhabited places in Africa, discovers something ancient that Weyland is interested in. Young Shaw either witnesses or learns about the discovery, inspiring her faith and career in archaeology,[b] and we flash forward to[/b] [b]present day 2073[/b] to meet Shaw and learn that the discovery was a flashback, the first of a few memories of her father we see. They've also added little bits to it here and there, and they run two slightly different versions of it in surveys and focus groups... which is why this person maybe tried to add the two together. edit: when I say the second part's not real I mean the studio never released it or anything. Whoever added it could be close to what the real plot summary is. I've got no clue about how everything plays out for sure, but I've mentioned the 2058 thing and Zeta 2 Reticuli/FTL travel here before. Now that we've seen the Peter Weyland TED video, 2023+50 years=2073 The added 50 years are of course because they are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the speech, if I remember rightly. That's a little too co-incidental for my liking. I'm beginning to think that in fact that synopsis has more than a grain of reality to it. IMHO of course ;-) It was from this synopsis that Mal'aak was responding to that wheresbasky posted, the old news one, but I believe that this is now more relevant since the Peter Weyland TED video came out Earth. Year 2058. Archaeological digs in Africa reveal alien artifacts that humans were genetically engineered by a advanced alien race (space jockeys). These “Alien Gods” also terraformed Earth in order to make it habitable for their human creations. Amongst finds are coordinates to the Alien God’s home-world, to Paradise. Months later the Weyland Corp launch the spaceship PROMETHEUS and his crew, into deep space to make first contact. Thanks to faster than light travel a few years later the PROMETHEUS enters the Zeta Riticuli star system. Humans are greeted by their makers, then transported further into space to a scary yet fascinating world. The Alien Gods are proud of their “children”, their first creation to reach such levels of intelligence. As a reward they share bits of their astonishing bio-based technologies with the humans. But for one crew member of the Prometheus it’s not enough. In a treacherous act he steals the “bio-source code” to Terraforming, a technology at the origin of all Gods’ power, that could make humans equal to the gods. The Alien Gods may be scientists but are also ruthless conquerors, destroyers of worlds who will not accept humans as equals. They unleash on the escaping human crew their favorite bio-weapon, a creature used to “clean up” worlds before colonization. But something goes wrong in the process and humans manage to turn the bio-weapon against their makers. Giving birth to a smarter, nastier, bigger breed of gut eating creatures. Creatures that will be the demise of Paradise. What’s left of the Prometheus crew manages to escape the doomed planet. On their trail a survivor Alien God in very familiar ship with one ultimate mission. Bring the wrath of the Gods to Earth. I know it's been discussed before, however in light of what Mal'aak posted I think it should be looked at a little more closely now........
