The image of an Engineer with a hand on a human adult and human child with face hugars is the first page in the Promotheus art book recently out. Im 90% sure this was part of the ceiling mural art which HR Giger did for the movie. Does anyone else have impressions from the Ceiling mural. or better yet photos of it or what im talking about. BTW I also theorize HR Giger is the God that created the Engineers and all existence.

I don't think H.R. Giger had anything to do with P R O M E T H E U S , who was the artist of the 'rolling back (Christ) door' and the 'good doggy' image? Who's artistic vision was all that?

I remember wondering what that mural was as it was only shown for a second in the movie, the Giger sculpture that Crabfart referenced is a much clearer representation of the left side of the mural and I think the center figure is an Engineer but what he has his hand on is probably a Giger invention pure and simple and purposely left undefinable to add mystery to the mural. As to the figure he is reaching for on the right it might be a very small humanoid, but even looking at the hi res version I cant tell what it is, and again, it might just be another of the myriad visions that comes from the superb mind of Giger.

During a recent viewing of the crew entering the Big Head Room it was curious to see the reaction to the first viewing og thje Ceiling painting. I say painting because that is what David calls it. Shaw calls it a mural. To they are similar words but with David being an android would he be more right? This is the changing mural that Shaw reacts to. I am not sure that this thread has been giving enough attention as it depicts Engineers, not xenos, and is the changing feature in the room that causes all crew to get out of the tunnels. From the actual scene depicted on the ceiling is a strong message about something. Looking at the Dog like figure must have some signifigance not only because of the detail but it's placement high above all else in the room. If there are other threads that go into more detail of this ceiling depiction please advise.

It looks likes the ceiling mural is telling some sort of story regarding the Prometheus myth. Let me explain... The kneeling "creature" looks as if it has the head of an eagle. The eagle headed creature is on the same side as the Titans liver but has been conquered or subdued by Prometheus. I have read previous threads in this forum discussing the ancient myths theme of the movie and it seems pretty spot on. Any thoughts for the people that have researched this theory and how it plays into the movie?
