Why is there a room with a big head to begin with?

Looks like the space Jockeys or engineers are a bit superstitious to me. Usually architecture of this sort is related to myths of some kind. Why would a super race waste their time with such things? Also, if they made us, who made them?

Good question that I hope we find out. Was it built to pay homage to the creator? If so, who was it built by? There have been script rumours such as : The head is a representation of the Engineer, some sort of leader for his civilization, a great scientist who has a cult following by his people. Probably because he masters the biomechnical technology that helps his race prevails over the universe Is it a piece of technology, or a simple statue? Is it an informational placard to identify the room and ampules as belonging to a certain being. Will there be other ampule rooms with different giant heads?

What I find pretty interesting is that the guy who wrote about the head representing the Engineer and him having a cult following by his people also wrote : [i]Anonymous said... A guy I know who's seen stills of the film has described to me what the Engineers actually look like. Huge, muscular, blue. Think Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen, but really tall. Just in case you guys were interested. I don't know how well that will turn out, but it's good news that they don't have elephant trunks. 30 September 2011 07:34[/i] Dated Sept 30th so way ahead of the trailer.

Yeah thats the guy. I just found it interesting that the same guy who posted this about the giant head: [i]The head is a representation of the Engineer, some sort of leader for his civilization, a great scientist who has a cult following by his people. Probably because he masters the biomechnical technology that helps his race prevails over the universe.[/i] Posted this description about the Engineer way back on Sept 30th. [i]A guy I know who's seen stills of the film has described to me what the Engineers actually look like. Huge, muscular, blue. Think Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen, but really tall. Just in case you guys were interested. I don't know how well that will turn out, but it's good news that they don't have elephant trunks.[/i] Makes me think this guy has inside connections to someone in the movie. If it's true I just didn't expect the giant head to be some sort of monument to the Engineer by his followers.

From what we know about both "Alien" and the "Prometheus" trailer, it makes sense to conclude that the figure in that still [i]is[/i] an SJ. From "Alien" we know that the SJ has decidedly humanoid forelimbs and hands. We also know that he appears to have somehow biomechanically "merged" with the chair in which he's sitting, which could account for the fact that his head[i] doesn't[/i] appear humanoid. We know that in "Prometheus," scientists embark on a mission of discovery about [i]our origins[/i]. We know that they subsequently discover a gigantic stone monument, in the form of a humanoid head. The noggin on the figure in that still, is a carbon copy of the stone monument. He is clearly a biomechanical humanoid, and just the right size to fit in the control chair he appears to have summoned from beneath the floor. I know that the very last thing I would have expected, is for the SJs to be highly advanced, but ruthlessly evil humanoids who used[i] technology[/i] to create monsters like the "xenos" [i]and us[/i] to wreak havok on everything we touch.....so yeah, that's why I think it's probably just what we're getting.

As stated in other threads. IMO I don't think the bald headed tall muscular Engineers are where it ends. I think there is higher being also. This guy maybe the SJ but I don't think it ends there or just the Engineer . Ridley talked about a higher power after stating the engineers. The big Disc over the water falls in the trailer doesn't look like a Direlect...it could have been the Higher beings or Gods via Gods and Engineers. Ridley might leave the Gods the mystery so all of the people here that are upset that this movie will ruin the mystery of the original alien. I think we will here about the Gods but not see them. Then we will be wanting more...another one from Ridley. I could be wrong. Either way it's gonna be epic.

Asking the big questions is difficult to impossible, because there is not even a way to logically arrive at any definite point (besides that there is not even a way to ask the question yet it seems). So the movie is not about big questions I'm afraid; It's just exploring another BS myth. Well, that is if all our speculations are even remotely close to what the movie actually touches on. So, I am eagerly waiting for it though :) P.S.: Don't mean to sound mean, as I'm eagerly waiting to watch this movie myself. Not also against mythical stories, as they are quite entertaining I must admit.

I look at it this way. I don't really care who made the Gods, and who made the beings that made the Gods. This is a RS Universe. It's insanity because I feel worrying about it like it's gonna answer questions in real everyday life leads to insanity. If it's that important?... I feel I'll start going to church instead of waiting for Prometheus to answer these questions for me. lol P.S. I don't mean to sound mean either.

" Good observation, but just curious as to why would you go to church as you would definitely not get any answers there? P.S.: You did not sound mean in the least bit.

Heh, "2001" is a BS sci-fi creation myth, it's just told extremely well. If "Prometheus" is ( in part ) the Ridley Scott "Alien" universe creation story, ( as both he and the "official" synopsis have suggested,) then we can expect it to be a very dark mythology, indeed.

True, one tends to forget that 2001 (my favourite movie of all time BTW) is a BS creation myth based movie, since it is so well made. Arthur C. Clark, of course is a scientist and adding the fantastic aspect to a movie does not take any entertainment away from it.
