Language of the Gods Part 2

MemberDeaconJul-31-2019 7:41 AMI had already made a Similar Thread Before HERE but this Thread was to TRY and Translate some of the more Common Engineer that we had seen used in Prometheus.
As IgnorantGuy had pointed out, that Task was maybe a Waste of Time. As the Engineer Writing likely never made any sense and likely was Random Symbols.
This TOPIC However i want to look at the Different Forms of Cuneiform/Hieroglyphs of the Engineers and to Wonder what the Relevance of these are?
It appears that both Prometheus and Alien Covenant our Engineers had been using the what we could deem more Common Engineer System. We surely can Assume they have used this System for a Long Time.
However what we also had seen is TWO other Forms of Cuneiform one we saw on the Sacrificial Bowl and the other is written only on the Bio-Weapon Urns/Canisters.
So we have THREE forms of Engineer Writing (or do we?)
*The Common Engineer Writing we see Mainly used (Temples/Complexes and Ships) does have some Similarities to Old Persian Cuneiform, Ugaritic with a bit of Neo-Tifinagh
*The Writing on the Sacrificial Bowl seems to be similar to Sumerians/Akkadians Cuneiform
*The Writing on the Urns/Canisters does have some Similarity to Ancient Nabataean, Aramiac and Arabic/Persian Script
This does-not mean they are in anyway Connected just they have a similar look like how Japanese Kanji, Korean Hanja and Chinese Hanzi look similar.
The Purpose of looking at the Differences are WHY there are 3 Forms of Writing, like say on Earth we have/had Japanese Kanji, Hebrew and say Old Norse Runes. They all look Different.
Maybe the reason is similar to WHY we have different Languages on Earth it could also indicate some of the Writing is OLDER than others as Language Evolves.
Or maybe we could Consider was some of it from another RACE/SPECIES as indeed some Speculate the Engineers must have Stolen/Reverse Engineered stuff that they Did-Not Create.

Looking at some Concept Work from Alien Covenant in more Detail i did NOTICE that the Earlier Concept had a VERY Early Mesopotamian Influence.
The Aesthetic of the One Concept as FAR as HOW these Humanoids appear is the SAME as some of the Early Mesopotamian Reliefs
The other Aesthetic is more Greek/Roman influenced but the WRITING is the same as on the Mesopotamian Reliefs
This TYPE of Cuneiform is Very Similar to what is ON the Sacrificial Bowl.
With the Removal of the Elders Scene in Prometheus because RS did-not want to MEET GOD in the First Movie.
Could they at ONE POINT and Pondered having the Hierarchy above the Engineers as being similar in Aesthetic to HOW the Ancient Mesopotamian's had depicted their GODS?
Our Engineers in Prometheus were maybe THUS.... The Igigi
