The ENGINNERS Bio-Suits: Based in part on symbolism of the 'Bird-Man' murial?

MemberOvomorphJan-05-2013 9:39 AMThe ENGINEER'S Bio-Ship suits seem to have a basis for comparison to the, as I like to call it: 'Bird-Man' efigy on the temple wall murial. It is a thought to consider that the ENGINNERS Bio-Suits may have been designed in tribute to the ancient efigy and/or in honor to the 'Bird-Man' as a token of symbolism.

A homage to a former God-symbol of theirs which then begs the question: Is the Bird-Man actually their god for real? Or was at some stage in their social development? Note the 'Bird-heads' beak and then compare it with the 'beak' of the Bio-Suit helmet that continues down into the form of a Bio-Filter-like trunk.
The Bio-Suit Helmet and the Head that Shaw recovered from the temple have beak-like shape, structure and qualities to them. Even the eye sockets of the Bio-Suit helmet compared to the efigy are at times seemingly very similar in their position(s) and placing. The Bio-Suit helmets and the found head all seem to have a kind of fossilized look to them like a bird skull would look like if you found it aeons later in the dragging on of time.
And in putting down a controlling hand upon the head of the thing are they (the ENGINEERS) saying: 'We don't need a god anymore, We don't need gods AT ALL anymore, WE are in control of OUR destiny, WE are the gods now!'

If you see further back up the top of the page the Bird-Man's head and compare it to the ENGINNERS Bio-Suit head you can see a correllation of design pattern and links with the apparant symbolism with regards to the alien art.
They are also reminiscent of the Pharoh/Ancient Eygyptians half man, half eagle-like heiroglyphs found amongst various tombs at Giza.
It makes you wonder if the Space Jockey was/may have been an actual being that we haven't seen yet as well in one thought and that 'He' is in some way connected to the murial on the wall perhaps.
He could be that creature, for real, and ever-after his 'passing' a mythology built-up around him and his apparant dissapearance. But if that were true, to be fair why could his ship not be detected or if it was why not come and look where he was? Maybe because of the warning beacon, in any case, it just made for interesting thought process that he was actually an Elephantine creature in a grandure archetecture to the ENGINEERS belief set-up. A Messiah for them but long lost whos point has been forgot and lost to time.

Perhaps the teasing murial of the spindly armed Bird-Man thing holding the egg 'urn' to his/her/its face is tantermount to suggesting something in part towards the Space Jockey getting an opened egg and implying a FACEHUGGER getting out towards his face thus all these creating his demise or demise in general. The thing in the murial could be symbolically 'eating' the contents of the egg/urn or as it has been suggested self-sacraficing them/itself to ITS god or beliefs - or lack of them. 'Drinking' from it symbolically as The ENGINEER at the beginning of PROMETHEUS drank the Black Substance from the ceremonial bowl as Fiflield also drinks from his bowl in an almost ceremonial fashion in the mess hall when Milburn tries to socialize with him and attempt to make friends.

MemberOvomorphJan-08-2013 3:53 PMyes theres a visual link between birdface xeno and engineer though they would all have the giger/biomechanical look
maybe this is a missing link creature or a predecessor of the engineer who knows.... yet
going by arm and torso length compared to adjacent engineer it looks like standing would be taller if only by a couple of feet but still this would be a cool spectacle if used in the next movies!
I LIKE WORMS! I LOVE WORMS!
