March 06, 2012whoops double post.... Anyway the shape is basically uncanny I think you are 110% right on this one....
Just also picked up on this after further reading on wiki
A sacred symbol of Nut was the ladder, used by Osiris to enter her heavenly skies. This ladder-symbol was called maqet and was placed in tombs to protect the deceased
[b]Jacobs Ladder from spirit to matter and matter to spirit in conjunction with the signs of the zodiacin our galaxy[/b]
she Who Holds a Thousand Souls: Because of her role in the re-birthing of Ra every morning and in her son Osiris's resurrection, Nut became a key god in many of the myths about the after-life
Nut was the goddess of the sky and all heavenly bodies, a symbol of protecting the dead when they enter the after life. According to the Egyptians, during the day, the heavenly bodies—such as the sun and moon—would make their way across her body. Then, at dusk, they would be swallowed, pass through her [b]belly[/b] during the night, and be reborn at dawn
[i]Nut is also the barrier separating the forces of chaos from the ordered cosmos in the world[/i] Ridley also said they would have 2 sides to the Space Jocky alien race and talked about chaos and order... Hmmmm defo onto somthing with this one yep
So somone is going to die and be brought back to life in this film... but won't be the same? I think this is perhaps a big possibility we see a resurrection... Could get a bit fanatical on that spaceship but instead of just a horror death we see a resurrection thats actually scarier
the archielogical dig will probably be eygpt or near to which is in africa where also the first homo-sapiens are reported to have evolved.
Going to start researching RA and Osiris now... RA is the sun and Osiris is the eye if I'm not mistaken... So we've just leaped from greek mythology to eygptian mythology but greek mythology is later on so we must start before weylands references to unravel some of this puzzle.... AMAZING POST BY THE OP
Basically even if the SJ's exterminated all of us they could bring us all back to life again if they wanted to ha ha think about that
Now I've also started thinking about soul swapping can they swap peoples souls that would mean the only ones who would be imune are the androids in this scenario... Like taking holloways soul and put somone else in there or swap crew members souls about very psychological horror gone insane after all the body is only a vessel, matter is it all about the soul this movie and life and death... Perhaps we are thinking on the wrong level and need to start thinking of the human soul and not the crude material i,e, the biological skills we know the SJ's to already possess
