More new Images

May Shaw sees one scence, but the crew of Promo each sees something different?

More for later... I have started another original post of my thought so that I would not lose track of it. Its called [b]The Function of the TURNTABLE Mechanism.[/b] I will let this topic here get back to the original idea.

@Progeny You're totally right!!!! We've got elbow thorns! Oh man, that gets me excited.

Hold on folks! After skimming through a few posts are y'all missing the point somewhat? The mural/humanoid has a big hole where is liver would be! - Prometheus - liver, creature eating out liver on a daily re-occuring basis - Is it me that's missing something here???? Am I insane? Essentially the image of the humanoid is in essence the titan prometheus, and the creature is equvialant to the Eagle.....How this connects to the story - FUCK KNOWS!

Actually a bunch of posts address the hole. Are you suggesting the creature ate his liver? I don't think there's evidence of that. I think this is supposed to be an artistic representation of several related things. I don't think it's is depicting that creature eating his liver.

With all that's being discussed about 2 races depicted in that mural (Engineer and SJ), I thought I'd throw this out there. I don't know what to think, I just saw these possible connections as to who is in the "suit" (if that's what it is). I'm showing the same design in the arm and leg because you can't quite make out the arm in the top picture and it might be logical to assume the arms and legs would have a similar "design".

look at this photo, you can clearly see that the engineer puts his left hand on the head of the creature ... [img]http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w420/ethon86/giger_mural1.jpg[/img]

@whiskuz No dude -Im speaking metaphorically - The proverbial mythology of the story of Prometheus seams to be visually manifesting in the mural!

Perhaps just a suit. Although it is very plausible compared with the mutation of the Mohican guy.

It seems to be some form of a Snuffulupagus.

its definitely a creature of some kind.... the way it looks to be crouched it is the humanoid's pet perhaps? seems very much a master/pet relationship.

If you don't feel like browsing through all of the pages to find a picture, I've posted a summary of the pictures [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/3269]here[/url]. Mural only. If you want to discuss the turntable theory then go [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/3263]here[/url].

Three thoughts on this. 1. I understand the Prometheus myth with the eagle eating his liver, and I get that the "torn flesh" where his liver would be is apparent in the mural. Some have said that the mural looks like he's placing his hand on the creature's head. But it also looks to me like his right arm is bent at the elbow and he's bending the arm away from the creature. The part of the mural that looks like "torn flesh" is perhaps instead the fire he stole from the gods being emitted from his right hand. (See red outlines below.)

The creature looks to me like it has two bony plates above where its eyes would be (see the orange outlines in the image). The way it looks to me, the humanoid is not placing his hand on the creature's head; rather, you just don't see the elbow because it's hidden by the left-most bony plate. 3. I'm also wondering whether the mural that's seen changes depending on the species that sees it. So, supposing some hyper-intelligent space-faring donkeys were to find their way to that temple, they might see something else.

Perhaps as with Shoggots of the "At the mountains of madness" of Love craft, they were slaves of the Elder Things and then developed. On the other hand the explanation of Prometheus seems very plausible, especially to see that scar on his abdomen.

It appears the humanoid is keeping the creature at bay (hand upon head, keeping it at a distance) The humanoid also appears to have scaring as mentioned before under the right lung (presumably where the Liver is in accordance to Myth) as well as on his right leg, thigh, appears to have not only a slit but something snakelike potentially going inside (as seen in the 12 minute footage screening, the vagina snake lol)

I have a sneaky suspicion that humans are almost by destiny, going to play a larger role in the evolution of life in this movie: as in being called upon and then shown (via these murials/lifecycle depictions) their fate and their place in the oncoming evolutionaire process. Maybe their mere presence awakens the temple and they start interacting. I love the angle of there being an elephantine creature, for whom the chair is manufactured - but that this race is overtaken by the blue humanoids. Interplanetary genetic cocktails for all.

@MarcoBot1234 Yeah, reminds me of Western Pediment at temple of Zeus. Apollo I believe, reprimanding the centaurs, or reason in control of instinct (as i remember)... [IMG]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m217/Macs_05/ApolloLapithsandCentaursfromWestGreek-PedimentofTempleofZeusatOlympia.jpg[/IMG] -Not sure what it will mean on the movie though...

The 'hand on head' gesture can be taken two ways in my opinion. Either as a reprimanding or as a blessing. 1) Reprimanding: kind of goes contrary of previous theories. Where i once thought humans or this humanoid creature to be a lower level species when compared with alien life forms. Gives another view as the human is the dominant species relative to the 'thing' its reprimanding. Hand on head, putting the 'beast' in its submissive place. 2) Blessing: the humanoid is blessing the creature. Touching the head, approving of its existence as he (the humanoid) is its potential creator. @Macs The picture does seem statuesque. Just by the form and pose of the humanoid it almost seems familiar

@MarcoBot1234 -"Apollo" in the Alien mural does seem to be straining bit, he/she does not seem "in control" as much...

WOW. a lot to go threw. Well for what its worth, I think it is the "blue guy" and his pet, creation, early form. Maybe its showing the viewer of where their species evolved from. Kind of like how we have the evolution of man from a monkey to a man. Just a thought. I have posted before that the "blue guy" could be an android and that maybe they are the care takers of the creature. The "mural" could be their doing, like we do with our paintings. Exciting times!

it's a vet helping a cow to give birth. @ethan the ripper: these are holes through which the crew from 1979's alien entered the ship and the element you belive to be a moving figure is clearly a detail attached to the hull.

I think, as this image is taken from a movie, and the mural is definitely from the scene where shaw says that something is "changing", that the hunched creature on the left somehow transforms into the humanoid figure on the right or vice versa. I see it as murals, like giger did them, only morphing and blending into the next state.

I don't think I've seen it mentioned on this topic, but it's also interesting how the light shining up on the mural serves to divide the humanoid from the creature. Humanoid is illuminated. Creature is not.

"What if God turned out to be the Devil" as a producer said... It's Satan creating Man (a bit like the God version from the Sistine Chapel...god and man touching fingers, remember?)

@NoWord and @Progeny Thank you so much for posting those pics......so very helpful. My mind is reeling!!!!! I have a million scenarios running through my head. Just not quite as long winded as some of you, though I do love reading everyone's theories!!!!

Sorry, @ NoXword, lol, typos....you know.

Just to get people on the same hymn sheet here are those Poltergeist II Primative Creature images ... I wonder if he's using the Poltergeist II Worms from same designs too? ...

So if this is a man, his manhood seems to be missing?

Now we seen two pics,,the ceiling is full of them we have not seen yet?

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Naked_Mole_Rat_Eating.jpg]Naked Mole Rat[/url]...anyone? They are eusocial mammals (one queen, rest are drones). They dig hives. They have slightly acidic blood. But look at that face!

I believe Jones hit it. What this looks like [i]to me,[/i] is that the humanoid is squatting down and stealing "fire" (energy, power, technology, whatever...) from the alien creature, which appears to be sleeping or in some otherwise dormant state. The gesture with the humanoids left hand appears to indicate that he is turning to his left, as if to depart. Meanwhile he is gazing at his right hand which is clenched in a fist around some kind of crackling "energy" (which I see some people here mistaking for a hole in it's chest...looking too hard for similarities to alien perhaps?). Again, Jones had a pretty close outline of the right arm in his modified pic, however the hand extends a bit further....i'll try to do it myself if I can....(sneakin this in at work, hehe)...

In reference to my above post, see below: Hand right arm outlined in black (I didn't do the best job, but you get the idea). "Energy" highlighted in green. The yellow could either be more "energy" crackling about or just cracks in the mural...I can't really tell. [img]http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/5146/prometheus2b.jpg[/img]

The engineer is building a new kind of creature as he has done before with humans, just to see which one has the best chance to survive. One is resembling the gods and one is the best he can do, without any limitations. Then he puts each one on a enclosure and he is using his cannon to fire them into the worlds, wherever they might be. When Prometheus is arriving, he is just on his way to fire off Xenomorphs, the new version of life. This is understood by Elisabeth and they crash Promtheus into the alien ship to stop this. What we see in Alien is the ammo spilled out. nd, he has done it before the same way but then with humans but he was not satisfied with the result.
