Lawrence of Arabia

How does LoA play into Prometheus? LoA is the story about the Arabs who are at war with the Turks. Lawrence comes to represent the British and lead them. The British ultimately want Arabia for themselves. Lawrence wants the Arabs to be independent after they defeat the Turks, but doesn't get his way.
So we have three parties at work: the Arabs, the Turks and the Brits. In Prometheus, we have the humans, the SJs, and the Xenos. Perhaps the LoA story parallels in Prometheus with the Xenos at war with the SJs, and the humans come and get involved though a liaison.
Just a thought.
