OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 10:49 AMCP, couldn't this be a shot of Prometheus's initial point of departure, say Earth?

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 10:54 AMNope.. definately not. According the the press details of the European event, the first glimpse we get of Prometheus if of it travelling through Space having almost reached the destination. The crew is all in cryo-sleep.
Here is a shot of the initial landing site, directly disecting one of the "roadways"... (This sequence was shot near Wadi Rum in Jordan btw)

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 10:58 AMI was going to get to that one Bio...
To me, thats a gaping hole if you will. Looks like some of the "road" network collapsed into it where its opened up..
That is the "jockey" ship lift off site I believe.
Notice OTHER rounded areas nearby and further off in distance as well.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 11:00 AMI was thinking the same thing that it was taking off from a secret area on earth which is why it looks so barren but looking at the rock detail on the right it does look like the planet. So there is a vast area of roads and probably either more temples or buildings. Maybe Weyland has been there before and set up shop.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 11:04 AMAre there lights in the background of the take off image? Looks flat to me like Phoenix, wheras the landing site is surrounded my mountains.
Well, who says they only have to takeoff and land once.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 11:12 AMDefinitely Earth. I can see my house from there.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 11:19 AMOK, now this one from an angle inside the hangar..
Is that the same initial landing site?... If it is, they basically set down right in from of what many refer to as the "Temple".

OvomorphMember26 XPApr-18-2012 11:20 AMCP, good point, all these other avenues and alleyways may be further
elaborated upon in a sequel.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 11:21 AM@ Bio... again
Actually, could it be that the dark rounded thing in the bottom right is the crest of one of the mountain tops??
The complex appears to be in a flat valley surrounded on all sides by mountain ranges.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 11:35 AMLooks to me the object in the lower right is closer to the camera than the Prometheus, ie, the Alien ship being pursued

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 11:39 AMheres another shot..the 5 temples seem to be [i]in line.[/i].

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 12:09 PMThe first thing I came to think to, at a glance, is that the object on the lower right might be part of the circular wall surrounding a temple.
The circular curved shape is suddenly interrupted to the left because of the entrance, consistently facing towards the direction from where the Prometheus seems to be coming from.
But since there is no actual way to evaluate the scale and distances, it could be just anything (the temple wall, a mountain range, a gaping hole, a sandworm, ...)
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 12:24 PMRight On "CP", I noticed and meant to say something when I did on day 1but never did, [b]KUDOS man[/b], you're Right !

Spartacus
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 12:25 PMBy the way, I think the shot of the Derelict lifting off reveals even MORE !!!

GRRRRRRR!!
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 12:42 PMThe object in the bottom right hand corner could be the top of the temple[img]http://i.imgur.com/NhIRC.png[/img]

CanadaPhil
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 12:51 PM^^^
Yes.. That too!
Actually, I do now think it is very well likely the top of one of the 5 Temples.
Well, 5... that is just what has been seen so far I guess.
There might even be 50 for all we know?

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 12:53 PMThis is the first time i have seen a link that lists Hr Giger as creature designer.

i think this is speculative old news though

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 1:02 PMJust to back up the theory because I didn't realise there was a PAGE 2 and I typed all this out and wasn't gonna waste it ... lol ...
I would say the object bottom right is the wall of the temple ... because Prometheus was FACING the temple and the walls when it landed ... so the ship taking off would take it up and over the CIRCLE shape (that was also between the walls and Prometheus) ... and then over the temple & walls ... if you look at the 5 Temples image Kane posted above it would be the LEFT side wall that we see in the original posted image ...

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 1:08 PMThat's what I see, too.

CanadaPhil
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 1:13 PMGot you...
And then that would even mean that ALL of the intricate networks we see are then actually sort of OUTSIDE the mountain ranges encircling the Temples?? That they are leading into the Temple sites??
Wow.. that scale is more that I was thinking of!
Just a thought... I wonder if we are going to see a shot in the movie of Prometheus actually looking down on then area from very high above before it is making its final approach run just above the valley floor leading to the Temple area. Something now tells me all of those patterns make up a large mural visible from high alittude.

NoXWord
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 1:17 PMThat's an interesting hypothesis. Maybe the temples could part of that big mural, too.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 1:29 PMOh geez.... Not that I want to talk about "ancient alien" bs, but somehow Im now thinking of the ancient Nazca giant land art in Peru... Hahahaha...

I do admit there has always been something striking about this kind of stuff. If you were on the ground you would NEVER have any clue that there is an image of anything here, but many thousands of feet up, you see the image.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 1:38 PMYeah Phil ... I can NOW see what Ridders means by using the word EPIC :) ...

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 1:42 PMNot sure I understand this pic...I thought the area they had landed on was pretty much mountain-land. In this pic you cant really see a single mountain. (The minor formations off to the right seem like short hills or even plant life...not mountains.)

Spartacus
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 1:42 PMClearly "CP" there are MANY structures on earth that no matter WHO it was that built them, they Built them 100% to be seen from the SKY !!! No Question about it ! Another fascinating element of all this is that in most cases these STRUCTURES are in geological but also Astronomical alignment with some important celestial object or body of stars or system.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2012 1:45 PMCould someone please furnish me with the link to all these verizon images.

OvomorphMember40 XPApr-18-2012 1:57 PMAaahh! Yeah, certainly Prometheus roads resemble the Nazca lines and other cultures:
