ENGINEER & Prometheus LORE: Theories, Deleted Dialogues, Mysteries and Explanations

I’m glad people still care about Prometheus lore years later

don't know why but I can't get enough of this

"Hellooo guys, Kroft is here". My ears melt.

The voice of Kroft adds the extra magic to every video.

Why don’t audiences like the Engineers? The xenomorph could’ve been one thing in their vast interstellar arsenal, but now we’ll never know because they don’t go boom enough for most audiences

Prometheus and Covenant set up a point that seemingly nobody has picked up upon. The 'Engineers' are based upon the ancient myth of the Annunaki, whom were giants from another planet that created humans by accelerating the evolution of apes and infusing it with their own DNA. This is evident from the fact that in Prometheus, the humans have the same DNA as the 'engineers'. The story we seen in Prometheus - and partially in Covenant - are a very modern and re-fitted imagination of the Epic of Gilgamesh, mixed with other ancient lore. The Epic of Gilgamesh is about the hero, Gilgamesh, his companion, Enkidu, and Gilgamesh's quest to find fame and immortality. Along the way, they encounter otherworldly individuals and complete several impressive feats that anger the gods. In this case, Weyland, essentially, is Gilgamesh, and Enkidu, is David. In the mythology, there were the igigi, young beings of the 'annunaki', that rebelled against them. as a result, they created humans, in order to do their labor and work. Enlil wanted a slave race of beings and insisted on placing a worship gene within humans.This is exactly what Weyland also wanted and built, and created a 'worship gene' within his creation - david. That very much became clear in 'Covenant', where he ordered David to make him tea, and he could not resist. It set the stage. In this case, Weyland also was Enlil. Enlil appointed Enki in actually 'making' the humans. Enki put the essence of the annunaki and aswell gave man a soul, he wanted humanity to be superior to the annunaki. Weyland claims David does not have a soul. It seems however, this is not entirely true from the way covenant also goes down. He is clearly not like the other 'robotic' drone androids. The exact fate of the Igigi after the creation of humans can vary depending on the specific Mesopotamian myth or text being referenced. In some accounts, the Igigi were banished to the underworld or were forced to live in a separate realm apart from the affairs of humans and the higher-ranking gods. another aspect is about Marduk's anger Marduk, the Enlil of the gods, got angry. His mind became furious. He made an evil plan to disperse the land and its peoples.His angry heart was bent on leveling the land and destroying its people. A grievous curse formed in his mouth.Evil portents indicating the disruption of heavenly harmony. This is clearly what David 'became'. Now, obviously it doesnt follow the story to the letter, but it takes a whole bunch of elements, mixes and fuses it to create it's own story. This is what religion has done too, the Noah story is a literal steal from the Epic of Gilgamesh and the flood. There is also a lot of Christian and Judaic lore in the movie too. The 'jesus messiah and Armageddon in particular. There is a hint towards Jesus, as there is a claim that the 'engineers' wanted to go to Earth 2000 years before. Mostly however, it might revolve around the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 by the Romans. It's interesting that the planet Shaw and David go to, had very clear Roman-esque design, btw. But regarding to the Armageddon lore, there is a text in the bible (revelations) saying : let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: It is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred and threescore and six (666). Ridley scott very much spoke about the Alien as 'the beast'. that people wanted to see 'the beast' (covenant). The 'xeno' is based upon human infection, making it the result of human 'a human number'. David, was supposedly an ancient king, a king that would slay down the giant Goliath. There is a clear link here too, even though ironically, it was Goliath that took David's head in 'prometheus'. At the same time, when everybody was scared of Goliath, David (supposedly) stood up against the tyrant, which is essentilally what we see in both Prometheus and Covenant. David was a man of bloodshed, easily angered, and obsessed with a 'god complex'. He also committed adultery and murdered the husband of his 'lover'. David, in prometheus, 'fell in love' with Elizabeth Shaw, and killed her husband by putting him 'in the frontline' - he knew he'd die by his actions ( the black goo ). Indirectly, David impregnated shaw creating 'their' offspring. David caused a child with Bathsheba, but the child was cursed. Shaw's child, was clearly 'cursed'. Just like shaw decided to stay with david, bathsheba stayed with david, despite being responsible for the death of the husband, their true love. David later had other children with Bathsheba, one of them became king solomon, who was 'wise' and had thousands of wives. David killed and used the corpse of Shaw to create 'his offspring', the 'beast', the 'xeno', which could produce thousands of offspring (thanks to the covenant ship). Matter of fact, david took control of the covenant in the jewish lore. in the movie, david, in the end, takes control of the covenant. in the story of prometheus, prometheus supposedly was a hero that stole fire from the gods and brought it to mankind. this essentially is a metaphor of bringing 'knowledge' and 'wisdom' or 'intelligence' from the gods to man. that's essentially the same we see over and over again regarding lucifer, but also in the annunaki and other stories. As a punishment, prometheus, the titan, would have his liver eaten out by an eagle, alive, and die, and be ressurrected every day. in his 'ted talk', Peter weyland claims, that since they can create 'artificial life' ( the androids ), 'they are the gods now'. If you then finally analyze every story in history, it's essentially all every time a copy-paste and repeat. That's essentially what the whole lore seems to e about. The annunaki also had creators. Simply put, the engineers, are not the creators. That much became clear in Prometheus too. They are simply 'creations' that made their own 'creations' : mankind. And mankind created another creation : Artificial beings ( androids , artificial intelligence ). The artificial beings themselves also try to repeat that and create their own offspring : david tries to recreate the aliens. every time, the 'offspring' rebel against their masters.

At this point I can never imagine an Aliens lore video without this voice

Your dedication to this story is second to none.

Thank you very much for this. I'm glad you're back and can't wait on your videos of Romulus when it's out 😁

I don't care about the haters, I am a Prometheus enjoyer.

Kroft, I am Obsessed with Alien movies. I don't know why I am so drawn to the series after 40 years. Have watched I,II, Promethues, and Covenant countless times. Thank you for helping me continue my obsession😊😊

Brooooo ty for keeping this lore alive, so much potential, so much filmography and all washed in the drains for stupid money

Legendary voice Sir, with the fine blend of the background music haha

I think you do a good job connecting the alien lore. Your videos give a lot more answers than what other channels provide. Thank you for putting in the work!

Your Alien Videos are such a joy! Can't wait for Romulus and your thoughts on it! ☺️

Please never change the background soundtrack in your videos.

Wow just over an hour long 😮 this video must have taken a while to put together Kroft🙏🏻👍🏻

When the Engineer touched Davids head, it looked as if it had done it with empathy - at first. I wonder, if David had been human. Would the Engineer think differently of humanity?
