MemberOvomorphJul-06-2012 10:59 PMOne or two threads have referred to the Croissant (or Bomber or Juggernaut) as legs a la Mr Giger but think of them as arms for a moment: arms outstretched at shoulder height with the forearms turned inwards and then take a look at the hands. The right hand looks as if it is open with the fingers spread and broken and the left hand seems to be holding an urn.
Is this a nod to the follow-up in Greek mythology to the story of Prometheus, the tale of his brother, Epimetheus and his bride, Pandora – she of the ‘Pandora’s box’, or more correctly ‘urn’?
Epimetheus had been warned to never accept a gift from Zeus but each of the gods donated something to create the most beautiful woman, exquisitely gowned and garlanded, whom he marries. As soon as the happy couple cross the threshold of their home, Pandora removes the lid of her urn and all the evils under heaven break out to attack mankind, leaving only hope unable to escape.
Prometheus was chained to that rock for two offences against Zeus:
Stealing fire from heaven and giving it to man
Preventing Zeus from destroying mankind
It seems Zeus is neither forgiving not forgetful.

MemberOvomorphJul-07-2012 12:54 AMWow, brilliant finding!
Ahh, so NOW that movie REALLY makes TOTALLY sense, you brought me to the RIGHT path of DEEPER UNDERSTANDING...
So my conclusion ALL in ALL is, that THIS must be the prototype of the alien derelict...

MemberOvomorphJul-07-2012 9:11 AMthat is why olympian gods are part of mythology.
if we consider panspermia theory then the species who made us exhibit equal set of emotions like us. and this is where forgiving god theory fails.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

MemberOvomorphJul-07-2012 9:19 AMBy looking at the Engineers' ship and The Prometheus,,the designs are for two different agendas...like a Hummer vs a Ferrari,,,
It seems to me the 'horseshoe' shaped ship is designed to be stacked..one on top of the other...
I never noticed the different ends,,,purpose built to be 'plugged' into something/port..much like today's electrical plugs..so correct polarity is achived..uniformity of docks,,
