Hey folks! I was browing the prometheusproject and saw this come up if you click on the prometheus ship. "Weyland Investors who dialed **WEYLAND heard a reference to Eridu, an ancient city highly relevant to the Prometheus Project. Through diligent research, these Investors determined that entering Eridu's current name, "tell abu shahrain," granted access to this image" The image is the Prometheus ship but there is a website that goes into great detail about this. I am not religious but the site has some biblical tonage to it. http://www.bibleorigins.net/eridusatelliteimagesphotos.html Apparently the above site is highly relavent to the PrometheusProject as it contains: "Maps of Eridu, Tell Abu Shahrein/Shahrain, the Mesopotamian Garden of Eden; Including photos of Ur, Tell al Muqqayyar/Mugheir, where Abraham lived, based on Satellite photos" Apparently this website states ""Eridu is the Mesopotamian Eden, the place of creation...the Mesopotamian Eden is not a garden, but a city, formed from a piece of dry land surrounded by the waters. The first building is a temple. Then mankind is created to render service to god and temple...Eridu is the ancient name of a site now known as Abu Shahrein...the city...was built upon a hillock within a depression about twenty feet below the level of the surrounding land, which allowed the subterranean waters to collect together" Thoughts???

I don't understand. I see you've copied these chunks - but what conclusion are you saying that you've come to?

Its a pretty much just referencing the Sumerian creation story. When the Annunaki landed on Earth, One of them, Enki, setup a city in which to create humans. Its pretty much the first known human inhabited city (not including Puma Punku). Using this story, Prometheus is Enki, he gifted humans with intellect and spirit because he loved them so much. The other Annunaki did not like this and planned to destroy all life on earth by means of a great flood. Enki "betrayed" the other "gods" and informed his hybrid son to build the Ark in order to save life from the great deluge (Flood). If the producers are trying to point to this particular culture, (which is Persian, the culture RS said he based the engineers on), there could lots of clues using the "histories" from the Sumerian/babylonian perspective. What it could mean is that the humans go to LV223 thinking to meet Enki, but instead meet "Enlil" or "Marduk" (Ra,Lucifer) instead. This would be very bad. On a side note, Enki's symbol is the Caduceus, the intertwined snakes i.e. double helix DNA.

@allinamberclad, I am just wondering why PrometheusProject put this on their website and why they stated it was highly relavent. I dont know much of anything about the Bible but I thought some here might so I was curious if they could break it down.

I am kinda thinking these deralict space craft are some sort of ark capable of carrying a vast array of lifeforms. I mean the ships are massive. Possibly able to start life on any planet and the types of life can vary greatly. Perhaps they are doomsday devices which send an ark full of lifeforms we dont ever want to come in contact with and able to wreak havoc. We steal their tech/secrets and they send an ark to earth which will transform it into a nightmare. Weyland wants this tech/secrets very badly.

Ah, OK. I couldn't figure out what your meaning was.
