Elder Engineer?

Engineering needs a dictionary for the word sacrifice.

Judging from the concept art, the "Elder Engineer" was basically some older, more wrinkly Engineer, the one who gives the cup to the younger Engineer. All these months back I thought the "Elder Engineer" could've been the one sitting in the pilot seat as per displayed in the teaser....in otherwords, a bigger, perhaps wiser Engineer, whereas the humanoid we saw was probably a pupil, or at least a younger Engineer. Silly; I know.

I think the older guy was a different race than the engineers probably considered to be there Gods or creators. When the movie started and the different looking ship left him to commit his vow and drank from the cup. One thing popped into my head. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enuma_Elish]Here..[/url]

In the stills from the concept art there is a hooded 'elder' ( i am not sure if he is an Engineer he maybe another related race) that gives the sacrificing engineer the phial of stuff (different from the dark goo) having come from a mega saucer craft. He seems to bless the sacrificer before he commits the act. I am convinced that this is a ritual/ceremony. For me the Engineers are kind of robots for the Elders. Why they seem to have forgotten about them - I'm not sure. Maybe they exist no longer - but I am sure they are the ones that visited Earth - not the robot Engineers. Strictly speaking they are not robots but bio creations. Anyway can't add much more.

Hey I agree with most of the information on that link you posted @Antonio77. We as human beings are very ignorant when dealing with the past. Especially if the past is not what we thought it was. There is to much which goes unexplained. All you have to do is read Erich Van Danick's book Chariots ot the gods. It's a great book which talks about humanity being visited in the past by space gods, space giants or aliens, and other terms which are used in the book to describe our possible creators. Or at least those who helped us evolve into the human race.

@jdax...Wow, do you go around and spell check every post? You must be perfect. You must also have a very eventful life in order to have time to hang around forums and comment on spelling. You must be a full time troll instead of part time. That explains it. Why did you even post if you didn't have anything relevant to say? Troll behavior if I've ever seen it. English is a 2nd language for some. Oh, and thanks for the info everyone else.

Engineering yes I am a master spell checker and I have an eventful life doing it. As I am impressed with English being your second language and commend you, sacrifice is a very important word to the spell check nation.

That's a good one!

@jdax...Okay, wow. For some resen I didn't knowtice your avatar and after lookeing at you're profile page you are obveously sereus. I had no idea that anyone realy went around forums cheking everyone's speling and gramur. That's insane. However, I know you've dropd the ball as I see mispelings constintly that are not corectd. Also, maybe you could send pms with these corectshuns insted of derailing threads because someone accidentaly hit the wrong buton or mispeled something.
