This was taken from a comment I saw on another site, and I did a little research and everything seems to check out! : To give some historical/mythological background that may shed some light, Ridley stated the SJ culture was based on Persian Myths. This would be Sumerian/Akkadian/Hindu. This is all taken from the Atra Hasis. Creators - "G"ods- Annunaki - Dragon Humanoids (Naga, Dragon Kings,) Helpers - "g"ods - Igigi - Engineers. (Android like living beings....BIOmechanical humanoid. Key features- Pale skin and large black eyes. Also known as watchers, Grigori, and Archons) (in many summerian texts they are actually referred to as "Pilots". Pretty much the Annunaki Air Force.) When the Annunaki began terraforming the earth, they had the Igigi do the work for them. After a few thousand years the Igigi revolted and went on strike. The Annunaki then decided to create humans to do the work for them. They sacrificed one of the rebel Igigi named Geshtu to use his blood and dna to make human beings, by mixing it with elements native to the earth. (In the movie, this can be explained by the the different oval spaceship at the beginning representing the spaceship of the Annunaki) (It can also be explained by the concept art that leaked from the official book this week) (According to wikipedia it also says this about the Igigi: [i]"Though sometimes synonymous with the term "Annunaki," in one myth the Igigi were the younger gods who were servants of the Annunaki, until they rebelled and were replaced by the creation of humans."[/i] [b]This is reflectled exactly in the concept art below![/b]) [img]http://i.imgur.com/mXLlK.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/AcThF.jpg[/img] Even though the humans were created and did the work, 1/3 of the Igigi still werent satisfied and sought revenge for Geshtu, so they rebelled again against the Annunaki Lords and began breeding/mixing with the human females creating Nephelim. This is what sparked the Prime Lord Enlil to flood the earth. Some humans were saved by Enki, the Lord responsible for the sacrifice of Geshtu and the creation of humans. Enlil and the rest of the annunaki decide to return home and let the humans develop on their own. Enki and his family stay behind. The Igigi are forced to leave earth as well. The remaining rebel Igigi are imprisoned on a planet on the way back to the homeworld and it is said as punishment and as a mark they are altered into a demonic appearance, no longer retaining the Angelic appearance. Enki and his crew are probably the ones leaving the maps for humans to find, along with the ones helping humans advance throughout time. The sacrfice engineer is Geshtu The lone engineer is most likely Marduk or a servant/worshipper of Marduk. The xeno is Mushussu, a creature Marduk fashioned and used as his pet. The "Engineers" we see are trying to destroy Earth are of the Igigi rebels who view earth as their own. They have always despised humans because the Annunaki saw us as more in their likeness than them. IT's possible that the Igigi have long since destroyed or taken over the annunaki and the homeworld, and Earth was like going to claim the prize or spoils. They mustve used to the Xeno's to win this war and through its perfection it has began to destroy and infect the Igigi who manufacture and transport it, creating more Mushussu. the xeno in Alien is most likely an older pilot igigi birthed Mushussu egg crossed with human or a future Annunaki birthed one which would explain the size difference in hosts. It is mentioned in several lesser stories that Marduk created the Mushussu out of using the essence of the Gods' (Annunaki) he killed as a symbol of his conquering and being able to control them... ie the mural.

This could make some sense but it's a totally impossible script, no way someone can convey all that amount of facts in even two movies, especially after the first one didn't give any actual clue on this theory and especially after contless other movies in the same universe didn't. I've spent five full minutes struggling to read all this, how are you going to put all that much of a twist in movies like Prometheus where 90% of the time is pure action and all the explanations are carried on with 'educated guesses' of some character

I wouldnt use the myths/history stated above as the plot to the movie. It is more of a backstory that took place around the time the sacrifice engineer did his thing. It just gives a more detail to what was going on, why humans were created, why they might be destroyed, what the xeno is, and how they "fell out" with the humans.

@Tuvok in this day and age it's a given that people are going to read in and around the script and the story. I mean, look at this place. It's testament to that fact

great read. after having read my bible and getting a good dose of 'ancient aliens' from netflix, this explanation seems legit. just wanted to throw in my two cents concerning the 'engineers were goin to destroy humans for killing jesus (one of their kind)' talk. i'd like to think that the reason some of the igigi rebelled was because they were upset that the igigi sent humans "redemption/salvation" through jesus christ. his death showed humans self-sacrifice/salvation (prometheus fire), which angered the other gods/aliens. they werent upset with the fact that the humans killed him; they were upset with what he represented... they then rebelled against each other and attempted to destroy us in order to take back their (fire).... or something like that. what do y'all reckon?

the original text written for the old testement says nothing of Christ, it has been altered for an Ecclesiastical view around 2-300 AD. if you read the book The Rise and Fall of the Nephilim: The Untold Story of Fallen Angels, Giants on the Earth, and Their Extraterrestrial Origins [url= http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1601631979/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00]link[/url] you will see that Moses had a contract with an Annunaki , an engineer and spun of his own Religion! And like me this author IS a Christian!!! several other references support the Sumerian take on the events of our Sudden Awakening and separation from the other Primates some 200,000 years ago. And not all of the references are from Pseudo Science people... While Von Daniken's book Chariots of the Gods is a leaping off point, I can list several books and available reads to help one along this line of truth. in January, I started this journey unbeknown to this film, I am happy to see it attempt to purge the barriers placed from Christian and Pure Science Dogma... please read: Message of the Sphinx,- Hancock Underworld Hancock The Canon - Sterling The Orion Mystery Fingerprint of the Gods Sitchin's Earth Chronicles its called Comparative Mythology.. they are all telling the same stories! Read about Gnostic Dualism, the Egyptian, Dualism, read the Mahabharata, read - I Enoch, (and several other bible books removed from Canon in 2-3 AD) the book of Enosh was written on Sumarion tablets, predates even Moses books of Wisdom!!!!

The true story can be found in revelations 12. The original Xeno is lucifer (fallen angels) still bitter and jealous lashing out in rage against the bloodline that brought forth the one who cast him out in the first place. (sending cargo of eggs to earth 2000 years ago ) interrupted by divine intervention (Ripley,Shaw) All done by with the help of their offspring (Nephilim) space jockeys Truth is lucifer had foreknowledge of all this.Spread and corrupted the Truth before Moses wrote it down.

He will always make himself out to be the victim. Still a whiner. Notice how he always try's to erase the truth.

Doesn't the story of Vickers and Weyland also play into this theme? Weyland creates David, who replaces Vickers, his real daughter, as the chosen one.

it is also interesting to note the child trying to replace the father in the stories and the movie. david 8 mentions this in the movie, about the child wanting to kill the parent, charlize therons character wanting father to step down instead of finding immortality, if the mural is related to persian myth than it too is about the younger trying to replace the older gods(or demi gods trying to replace gods) also side note this makes me wonder what david 8 said to the engineer before he went ballistic, given what he said about the 'killing fathers' thing... and if the engineers were robots, would that mean humans were robots that made a robot to translate to their creators that were also robots for another creator? would that mean we are a shell of a shell of god that tried to create a shell of us? ok no more inception moments i promise :)

Image of some Ural Pictograms found in Russia. They are compared side by side with modern chemical compounds: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/Ural_pictograms_-_comparison.png/150px-Ural_pictograms_-_comparison.png[/img] Obviously, Prometheus has done, on purpose, just given us a small glimpse of what may have happened with the origin of Human Life and also, Ancient Aliens role with the advancement of Humanity thousands of years ago. Ancient Man. The movie is like another theory. Whether using Greek, Christian, Persian, Mayan, Cambodian, Egyptian motifs, or otherwise. I like the movie for those qualities. But, I don't like the movie for: Smart Scientists becoming all of a sudden, dumb, (oh, a serpent like animal hissing at me, I think I'll pet it).

Why does that engineers pet in the mural look like Watto from episode 1? Because they couldn't hire H.R.Giger to do a proper design.

excellent synopsis! although a Sitchin fan myself, I didn't immediately make the potential connection..however, you rarely hear people mention the different ships...which led me to believe there were 2 types of "engineers'..ones who create and ones who destroy..as far as why they wanted to destroy earth and the humans, who knows..perhaps the engineers were disappointed w/ their creation and the military ones at the base were commissioned by them to carry out the task when something went wrong w/ their bio-chemical goo? or perhap there were 2 factions fighting over the fact that the military sj's wanted to destroy the earth? only the sequel will tell us, if it touches upon that that is

This seemed vaguely familiar and I decided to go through my sci-fi movie vault and I came across The Fourth Kind where the aliens spoke ancient Sumerian.

Only time will tell if this Persian parallel holds up and I plan on doing some reading along these lines but for now, Mertber has helped connect a lot of dots that seemed way too far apart. Very well done!

@plotholepuncher Just because the DNA is a match doesn't mean we would look exactly the same. There can be very small differences in our DNA that changes appearance in the human species but it's still human. Also the "engineers" are designed to be the way, they are perfection. Humans didn't evolve the way they have because of chance, there's a blueprint in the DNA of the sacrificed engineer and the black goo. Whoever created the "engineers" created humans. I don't even like calling the space jockeys engineers because they created nothing. I keep reading post from people who still think the engineers created humans. There is a higher power then the space jockey. God>angel>human even with normal alien mythos reptilians>grey>humans. Greys/angels are slaves. They also look alike and it has been said that Greys are clones. There is no diversity. Humans for some reason are hold the gods interest more than angels/Greys. The gods like us but not because they love us it's because we are more valuable for some reason yet to be explained than the space jockey/grey/angel. Sorry I don't feel like engineer is the right name for the jockeys anymore and spreads false information because Dr. Shaw was wrong, so wrong. Sorry for the ramble but I hope I contributed something.
