Thanks to Shambala for the very clear pic of the SJ 'pods'. Great work. I've been looking at those 'pod' symbols and I think I made one connection. See the red symbol circled in the two pics. Does anyone else think there's a 'symbolic' connection here?

@BellaisanAlien, I'm now having second thoughts, but that area seemed to me to be where the head of someone inside one of those pods would be.

PFTW, I'm joking when I say the following. Obviously someone didn't read all the posts. I wont point fingers :P But I did post a link to a Sumerian Tablet that is the very first Cuneiform writing and it clearly shows on the tablet a big ol' fat circle on it. On a serious note. Cuneiform does not have to be 100% wedges it only needs to make up the major portion of the written language, thus allowing circles and other forms to be present. These can be used as keys in deciphering the language. But the upside down V with the circle above it is clearly stolen from Stargate. Also English is from left to right Sumerian is I think starts on the right and go down and to the left. Regards, Rick

After second look at the face the language on the right cheek (our left) and the writing on the other side are completely different. Now I am no fan of mixing Aliens with Predator but the 3 pronged star shape 3rd row down is clearly a Predator symbol. Maybe Ridley will reference them in the movie but not make them a part of it, or he blatantly stole it in Mockery, or maybe he's paying Homage to those movies. Stargate was a good sci-fi and so was the original Predator.

Hey Guys, Pretty cool observations. For me, I think the PROMETHEUS hieroglyphics look charmingly like “so called” Angelic or Celestial script. It has kind of simple mathematical geometric characters, rather than more stylistic or artistic scripts like Arabic, Asian, Phoenician, etc…scripts. [IMG]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb381/jmichinock/Angelicscript.jpg[/IMG] It would make sense that Ridley Scott & company would want to tap into an alphabet allegedly connected to the divine…as we’ve already read about his “gods and engineers” concepts and statements. Anyway, makes sense to me…what do you guys think? ~Neurion

Neurion, Wassup BUDDEEE....you haven't been around much lately. I see a lot of similarities and a lot of differences. Mostly the holes themselves. The seem to come grouped or part of another symbol, none of the angelic script has any circles unto themselves. Regards, Rick LOL on a side note where'd you get the gif of the chick riding the pony...she looks way too hot for you ugly mug :P (just teasin)

Neurion, Hey Bud long time no see. They do look really similar but there are no plug holes in the angelic script just circles and none that are alone or in a group of other circles. On a funny note where the hell did you get the gif of the chick riding the pony? She's too hot for you old ugly mug. Rick

Neurion - a very interesting tablet - thanks for posting that! The styles are incredibly similar. I believe you are right. Since Ridley has said this movie will be "epic", and deals with the origins of mankind etc... it makes sense to use 'glyphs' that conjure up our pre-history and the early celestial dieties. I'm sure the glyphs we see are totally made up... but somewhere deep in the bowels of this incredible production, someone has a key to what these glyphs mean ... it might even be a poke at all of us nerds and it says "beware - space jockey inside"..... Cheers! PS. What's the name of your pony? Nice horsey...

well, this is what I noticed about the runes on the sarcophagus pod so far. I copied out the runes as we can see in the following two images and well, I suppose I'm a bit curious about them still despite some of them looking like American football posts and baseball stumps. [img]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1_OZMLNumis/Tzl1OknigCI/AAAAAAAAA7A/lzZMvl2IBCI/s500/letteringcontrolchamber.jpg[/img] [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-p9inNWG6Uwo/TzrfL_otGLI/AAAAAAAAA9k/E7NbqsmXdug/s500/421835_3377120266224_1215888587_33527514_1046867435_n.jpg[/img] And also they seem to have a habit of turn the letters around as in the characters of the Pigpen cypher : [img]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-wXN7lYDbWO0/Tz0dd6l9RII/AAAAAAAAA9w/0M__4W3PILo/s200/Pigpen%252BCipher.jpg[/img] Image taken from [url=http://darknorthblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/pigpen-cypher.html]Darknorth's tog blog[/url] And on top of that, one of the characters seen on the entrance doorway looks like a Roswell UFO crash hieroglyph as reported by Jesse Marcel.

OK. Here's a real stab in the dark. Lots and lots of assumptions here... 1. script goes from left to right. 2. a dot and a smaller dot can mean anything 3. anything can mean anything 4. gives me something to do as I bite my nails waiting for June 8! Total thanks to Wmmvrrvrrmm for making the script template to work from! [IMG]http://i1150.photobucket.com/albums/o612/Nephilim-LV426/Prometheus/Prometheus_SJ_Pod_decypher2.png[/IMG]

So what did you guys do on your day off work? Apparently I have WAY too much time on my hands... This is my 'rationalization' for why I think the V shaped rune (3 above) represents the derelict....
