Trailer 2 Dome Image Questions

As far as the lay out of this Ancient City, then indeed ATI those columns are similar to what we have seen in some Ancient Earth Cultures.

The Source i had claimed that Paradise would have a Ancient Mesopotamia look to the Aesthetic but would also have some   Egyptian Influences  and some minor Greek/Byzantine too.

Ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt  Cities.

And Below Egyptian Courtyard

Here are some Byzantine Ancient Cities as far as the look goes.

So again we can indeed see influences....

It is after all the aim to have the Engineers and their Ancient roots and Architecture to had influenced Earths Ancient Civilizations and that its not a case of ONE Religion/Culture existed on Earth but that all the more common Ancient ones was influenced by Engineer Contact and so its Logical that the Actual Engineer Homeworld carries over a combined Atheistic of a number of such Ancient Civilizations on Earth.

Dave, let's compare your Sumerian image and the ruins on Mars. :)

As for the trailer columns, they are the mix of these structures:

(From the movie Exodus (?) by Scott...)

I'm just so thankful that Inquisitor Fifield is giving lessons on how to be respectful in the above comments. 

Here is another shot of the temple behind Daniels.

In Prometheus, Fifield used the word “holocaust” to describe the scene of carnage when he saw the big pile of dead bodies. With the scene we have outside the dome, I wonder if this was the same fate that befell the engineers in what Fifield describes as the holocaust scene. The word holocaust does have certain implications in its use, and I wonder if this was a deliberate use of the word holocaust to imply something. I think it would be interesting if the holocaust scene was connected to the dome scene.

Going back to Prometheus and the big pile of dead bodies, it was noted that some of the engineers had the hallmarks of chestbursters, which leads me to believe hat the outbreak that killed them should be answered by what we will see in AC. Maybe it will answer whether the use of the word holocaust is apt, or something else. Whatever the context, I think we can all look forward to bigger and better piles of dead bodies.

Wow it seems it is all coming together in speculation.  It really does look like a mass suicide if going along with Spaights script.  The images we have seen almost look like they are suffering a painful suicide- 

I updated my post above to include a zoom in on the temple behind Daniels. Below, is the dome visible in that image.

It seems like a Dome but not the same large one.. which is very Byzantine in appearance.

The Central Dome is in this image above... the other you showed does look more like what we see in Greek Chapels.

Whats interesting in the shot is i wonder if Daniels is Forced to get to the Top of that Temple for Rescue by Tennessee, but then the Xeno manages to grab to the bottom..

Of he collects her from the ground and as they take off  the Xeno leaps from the Dome to the Drop Ship?

Yes BigDave, the smaller dome does look like a Greek chapel.

I thought it looks like an observatory the first time I looked at it.

Or Jerusalem...
