Several people mention Annunaki.
This [url=http://whatculture.com/film/prometheus-8-mythological-literary-motifs-in-the-film.php/7]article[/url] explains that the Engineer is equivalent to a Sumerian god called Geshtu...
What are your thoughts?

Sumerian culture topic was discussed plenty of times here.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

Interesting and not a stretch IMHO by any means as many of us here were already tuned into the entire "Annanuki" angle and have seen much of The "Ancient Alien" Series and tuned into all the articles and texts written about the subject matter.
And Especially the part at the end comparing The Engineers to "Fallen Angels".

Yes. I think that Ridley was working on a combination of Paradise Lost & Sumerian myth (chiefly) amongst others.
The stone face has unmistakable cuneiform markings.
The black liquid is the Norse 'eitr'.

indeed, Sumarian and whatnot has been made into a thorough thread some time ago.

..and the movie is Scott's expression of their stories....
How we understand it..well that is up to our knowledge..expereinces.
Judging my the many posts,,not everyone has grasped the overall themes,,or where the story is heading.
I guess we will all be on the 'Ridley Train(sorry Ozzy) for his next expression of various stories he has discovered in ancient writings..

let's play with words for a while ..
Anubis.. egyptian culture..
annanuki ... sumerian culture...
anna .... south indian culture name for big brother XD
I seriously think whoever has that "annanuki or anubis" is going to spank humans for real.

Perhaps the Engineers are the offspring of the Annanuki who took the daughters of men to wife and not the Annanuki themselves?
Or perhaps even the Annanuki have financial crises and needed the work? "Hey, we need a team to go wipe humanity from the face of the earth!"
"Just the face?"
"You don't get the job."
