Prometheus Movie

So I finally got to see this movie on Tuesday night... I really enjoyed it. Not sure why I wasn't aware but it was based off of theories by Zecharia Sitchin ... I have read many of Sitchen's books and have always found them to be interesting, I love his theories that we (the human race) were engineered by "Space Astronauts" otherwise known as the Anunnaki who actually engineered the Sumerian culture to harvest gold... apparently the Anunnaki fucked up their own atmosphere and needed gold particles to place into their own atmosphere to survive... quite obviously his ideas were immediately rejected... but the funny part is that that is something that they are talking now to fix our own climate problems before it gets worse.... yet Sitchen came up with this theory in the mid 70's ... anyways a big fan of Sitchen's books, theories and now this movie. I also enjoy reading about ancient civilizations and their theories.
I guess if anyone is up to it... we can open a discussion, regardless if just about the movie (or similar movies) or the theories themselves... although this can get pretty deep and these types of discussions I enjoy more in person... but what the hell! ::
or we can just act like the monkey's that we are and just throw feces at each other :rofl: ... its a joke people! were not actually going to throw shit at each other!

Harris... first off I wasnt aware that it was a prequel to Alien, but makes sence now but I alsoagree with you that I tend to believe (mainly because its such a sexy idea) that we were engineered/created... There is countless evidence and we continue to go further and further back in history, where we thought we were just throwing rocks at each other, and finding some amazing advanced technological practices (well advanced to what we had thought they were capable of)
Now most of this is fun to think about and discuss... I also like other theories though... I love McKenna's "Stoned Ape Theory" even though its a bit harder to swallow, but also has tid bits of logic that make you go ..."hhmmm"

@Brian... I havent seen that website, but will definitely read through it... it does refer to a documentary called "Debunking Ancient Aliens" by Chris White (which I have seen) ... here's my problem with them. Although they make some good arguments, they tend to want everything to be black and white... Chris White states several times in his film that he read something else on the internet and therefore it must be true... so in essence whatever claims he's trying to debunk he merely states another possibility and therefore says that the "claims" made are false. But what he's not realizing is that we really do not know who's right and who's wrong, he's completely discounting any other possibilities other than what he believes to be true.
I am going to re-visit Sitchin's books this weekend
Here's another thing to think about... whenever you have some new findings or possible evidence to contradict what we thought we knew, you will have loads of people that will fight it tooth and nail, mainly because they have spent their lives teaching and idea and if in fact they accept anything new... would mean that they have been wrong the entire time... case in point Robert Schoch's theory that the Sphinx is actually much older than we had ever thought, like an extra 5-7 thousand years older... and that goes against everything we had ever thought about how old and how these ancient Egyptian civilization actually lived.
ah and btw... I highly recommend Schoch's books as well :D
