Kings Temples and Spoilers

Outlander

Theory but possible spoilers below. So the latest stills posted showing the inside of the "temple" and the ramps inside got me to thinking. Also, Ridley's statement of what existed before us, and the idea of every king having his reign and then dying. Ancient civilizations on earth building new pyramids for every new king---as a tomb. Here's what i'm getting at.: There are five temple complexes on the alien planet. They have interior ramps which were probably used to help in their construction. Thus, they are not temples---they are TOMBS. The head inside the tomb they go into represents the face of the King who is buried there. The particular ampules, which appear to be old, somewhat destroyed, tipped over contain the DNA of the creatures that that king manufactured. The body and skull/helemt that is retrieved and brough back to the Prometheus are the body of this King. The standing space jockey uniforms belonged to older kings who have died. My thought is that the Engineers have a portion of the universe that they rule. The star map room represents this area. And they can manipulate DNA. My theory is that as a King dies, the new one who comes to power remakes this area of their dominion as he sees fit. Proemetheus arrives on the planet just as the new king is heading out to claim his right and remake the universe. Hence the stacked neat DNA Ampules that he will use to rework those planets, including earth. The pictograms weren't an invitation, they were the ancient earth peoples' acknowledgement of the Engineers power. This also explains the original derelict found in the original Alien. A king from long long ago who was on his way to rework a planet, and was infected by one of his own creations. He sent out a warning to his fellow engineers not to try to retrieve him.

@Outlander; Isn't Prometheus set years before Alien?

Nice thread! One of the best I've read so far, keep it up gang! Also, If the characters in Prometheus learn how to regenerate from death we are in for a Wild ride!!!

Oh and the eggs and older look of the derelict are explained by the fact that it was an older technology. Now the ships are more advanced, and ampules have replaced actual organic eggs. I think that someone on the Prometheus realizes the potiential of this DNA material and steals some of it.

If the derelict is a hundred years old, it doesn't matter if Prometheus is before Alien, the ships in Prometheus can still be newer, built decades after the derelict lands on LV-426.

Nice take.. Its cool how 100 different people come up with 100 different possible plots. It all adds to the mix. The newly released Facebook site pics gave me another head scratcher though.. The interior of the actual "temple mountain" if you will REALLY look like the interior of a HIVE. Could just be nothing more than coincidence? But I dont know anymore.

@Svanya Yes Proemtheus is set years before Alien. But, if this progression has been going on for millenia, then a previous King's ship landed om LV-426, years before both films.

Yeah man, good theory. Perfect explanation for the King speech in the beginning. Imagine they bury the kings like they do pharaohs and separate their organs for the afterlife, but what if they could actually come back? You wonder what other traditions and rituals humans might have been copying from the engineers.

According to this quote by the executive producer: “Ridley was inspired by everything from the Nazca Lines in Peru, which are these vast Earth sculptures can only be seen from the air, to cave paintings in France, to [b]ancient Egypt and ancient Mayan civilisations[/b]. We’re pushing beyond what’s been found thus far and speculating about what maybe found in the future.” and what civilization has pharoahs?

@Biehn_Bandit "..what civilization has pharaohs?" Definitely not Egyptian. Pyramids are found all over Egypt but the Egyptians did not build the pyramids.

Mmmm I like it Outlander a buriel chamber makes lots of sense from what we have seen. Perhaps the white worms are like scarab beatles or super developed bacteria from eating away at the Engineers. The infection of Holloway and the others may also be a booby trap; he is taken and made capable of flying the derelict back to Earth and destroying it, the other mutation tries to take out the rest of the crew - just because they have stepped on sacred ground.......

Egypt didn't have pharoahs? Are you being sarcastic?

lol so many posibilities we just dont know where this movie is going. Only things that can be concluded are. 1) We find Star Chart that leads to that Planet (i think the Ancient Civilisations and Titans Myths are key here, as they apear as Large 10ft Humaniods... who created us. sound familiar to the Blue Guy/Space Jockey Engineers. 2) There are a few images and scenes of Blue Man/Jockey that seem to be same size 9ft and points to the Space Jockey being Blue Guys in Suits. 3) There apears to be a Worm/Eeal/Leech type Organism that gets into a Crew Suit, it apears that at least two crew become infected and mutate but is it Holloway or Fifield who that Eel thing gets into the suit. 4) Somehow Shaw has a Organism Growing inside her but not like normal Chest Burster but actually like a Human Hybrid Embrio i.e a Pregnancy, and this Organism is taken from out of her. 5) There is a scene where some of the crew are trying to destroy/burn something and the mutant Fifield is trying to Stop them, or its it Fifield they are trying to Burn. 6) We are left with the fact that they (being maybe Space Jockeys) for some reason are setting off to Earth with some Cargo that could end Mankind. There will be more things i have not mentioned. But the thing is what we dont know, and why? Does the Organisms/Infections occur because the crew tamper with the ampoules, is the scene by the Water Fall at the begining of the movie or end and what does it mean. There are so many ifs, buts and maybes and i do think the actual movie will go on and suprise us in many areas and maybe be a little thinking outside the box and make us think. Why did we not think of that? Or we never saw that comming.

awesome, and it's what I've said all along as well, that the Derelict's signal was a WARNING to STAY AWAY, the Cargo Had been breached. Not an SOS. SOS signals do not repeat at intervals of 12 seconds. Edit: Also in the directors cut we later found out it was what appeared to be a voice recorded warning.

Funny Sparky I seem to remember getting into a heated debate with you months back where I was saying the signal was a warning to tell others to stay away but you was adamant it was a SOS to his own kind for assistance?!?

@ Outlander I think you pretty much have it figured out. I can't shake the feeling that the blue guy is alright (benevolent). I know Noomi seems pretty scared of the short blue guy in the clip but maybe mistaking him as the bad guy is why "we were so wrong" and not because of the invitation/warning back home. It would be cool to give us all the impression, through the trailers, that he is bad and totally dupe everyone.
