MemberOvomorphJan-17-2013 9:48 AMI would like to draw your attention to the early scenes in the tunnel.
*-12 Degrees
*Water Not Frozen
*Millburn mentions it might be Martian Piss
*Millburn says it sure is collagenous (I had to look up this word)
*Somebody says it might be sediment
Forget about the above being in Prometheus say this was a description used in any another setting : what might you think they are describing? More on this a bit later..
There was a comment on a forgotten thread talking about the tunnel system and their shape. I believe it said something to the effect that the tunnels looked liked they were carved out by water flow. Something like what we see in cave creations on earh, lava flow ect.
Back to our movie..
The sediment comment made me think about the sediment often seen in rivers..left by water flowing.
Our cast of charactors thought it looked collagenous or maybe sediment.
And everywhere our crew went in the pyramid they were always opening doors to enter another part of the pyramid as something like submarine with water sealed hatches needed in case of a flood. REcall there was dirt on the floor of the Big Head Room but not anyplace else i can recall seeing.
Putting together all of the clues must lead to some kind of connection to understanding our movie.
I am not saying that our Crew is walking the tunnels of a toilet. I am suggesting that the tunnels were flooded with something to cleanse the tunnels of debris and perhaps that is what the lower well was actually used for .. a drain.
It seems a way of accounting for the liquid that doesn't freeze and the sediment discovered on the floor of the tunnel.
How all of this fits in with many of the grand theories posters have of the theme/meaning of the show.. I do not know.
I just wanted to note a portion of the movie that seems to offer clues given by our crew about tunnels, water not freezing and sediment found but not explained.
Maybe we just have to use the unscientific method of imagination to explain parts of our movie.

MemberOvomorphJan-17-2013 11:47 AMJuggernaut Door/Orrery comes to mind.
Whart's important is tunnels must have had more of function that just to be there.
How were they used?
When were they Used?
Is there any symbolism to be decerned?
Maybe they are just there for no reason but to connect to other levels/tunnels.
Believe me if there is no impact to the storyline then this thread will quickly disappear.
It is a reach to suspect that the tunnels were part of Waste Disposal site.

MemberOvomorphJan-17-2013 1:11 PMCan't think of any symbolism attached to the tunnels - that would probably be getting a bit Freudian.

MemberOvomorphJan-17-2013 4:05 PMIf the tunnels mean anything, they could be symbolic of the pathways through the subconscious, but I am speculating here. I might be possible to make a connection between the pyramid and the subconscious mind. It is something that I have considered before but beyond just the general connection I can't find where it leads. But idk about this for sure.

MemberPraetorianJan-17-2013 4:33 PMGood point Nostromo!
Heads & therefore the (subconscious) mind, are very prominent in the story.

MemberOvomorphJan-19-2013 7:18 AM@ Freeze! That picture is awesome.
I must watch Prometheus again because I really haven't paid much attention to the tunnels. Interesting thread Indy. In those tunnel scenes I need to pay more attention to where the Juggernaut is in relation to the pyramid. The map onboard Prometheus should show some detail. What distracted me in regard to the tunnels was firstly the Engineers holograms and then the awesome mapping "pups". I will now go off and watch Prometheus again. Any excuse will do for me.... :)
