However, the symbols on the ampules are completely different. They are similiar to maybe Arabic or Hindu, but again, they are made up for the film.
It might be as simple as the Engineers with their uber-technology are living in a previously abandoned ancient temple complex.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 4:10 PMThey are supposed to be an ancient civilization right? I guess their monuments like ours aren't above the laws of nature.

I actually never got around to see that one. But damn it looks cheesy, even for it's time. :D
