Strange things in the Engeneer room

Behind the "engineer" head statue is another control panel similar to the one found at the bridge of the ship they are in. The figure he sees in the wall is that of the destroyer; the mirror image of the creator that is seen at the front of the chamber. If you would like a more information on the meaning of the movie read this article. http://cavalorn.livejournal.com/584135.html#cutid1

Interesting. I would really like to know more about that destroyers... Thans! :))

Well like many things is left unexplained... it may not even be related to the Mural at all.... Maybe it could be a controll system for the atmosphere within that chamber, like some kind of controll for heating and humidity that keeps the Urns contents in stasis.... Which the pressence of the crew changed the atmosphere within the room and thus caused the Urns contents to melt and then rise up and leak from the Urns.

It also has a detection system for infection. That's why it dropped the door on the Space Jockey and took his head off. Once it was opened by David, and the room got contaminated, the door doesn't close again to keep out Fifield and Milburn. Seems that once trespassed it remains open to spread death to intruders. I imagine it also opens the rear door, behind the mural of the destroyer (check out the shape of that mural - round... and shaped like an egg, and with the door frame surround shaped like the 'lips' of the eggs. Perhaps thats where the running space jockeys went. Isn't the door they are piled up against the same shape? Or are all doors in the tunnels the same shape. I didn't notice very well.

to me, his lifegiver theory with the wallpaint looks wrong

Here is the wall-painting/mural, its the Deacon:[url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/7545]The Deacon (Proto Xeno?) was shown to us right from the beginning of the movie[/url]

"It also has a detection system for infection" It does? I assumed one of the first few people in the room hit the "close" button on the door.
