Hello, guys! I'm a big fan of Alien franchise. I've read various posts by scified a couple years ago. Now would like to ask you a question.

"Engineers are not a race, but a civilization."

Where did you find this quote? You say it was said by Ridley Scott. I would love to know what the source of this quote is, so please tell me.

In an interview with Fandango, Ridley Scott compared the Engineers to "dark angels" inspired by John Milton's Paradise Lost, highlighting their complex and ambivalent nature. He also described their role in Prometheus as that of an ancient and advanced civilization, responsible for the creation of humanity. However, he did not use the exact phrase mentioned in your question.
