"Backfill" time...

1) The guy at the beginning was a sacrificial of the Nephilim/planter human seeding the Earth (then barren, like Shaw) with his DNA (via trans-mutagenic catalyst), as you surmised.

(Prometheus was Weylan's ship's name. It was a science and search vessel.)

2) I took it that the "engineers" needed to "correct" a defective batch of humans.

(At 2000 years prior to the Prometheus' ship's mission, the MOST significant event that I am aware of happening in recorded human history (this time around) is the Cruxifiction. The one remaining "space jockey" (as R. Scott calls them) had intelligence and a compassionate interest in "David", if just for a moment. I don't think that those capable of "genesis" and self sacrifice (film's beginning), are easily able to destroy so utterly and effectively without CAUSE - remind you of any species we know?

(Another event could have been the instigation for them, though it wouldn't be very smart of the screen writers to omit what that was, be it Judeo-Christian or not. ;) )

3) Yes, they told our forbears from whence they came. They husbanded us like good farmers, allowing us to grow and we noted those close encounters with wall paintings, kind of like front page news on the New York Times, only ~45,000 years prior to the printing press, or written language for that matter.

At the time of ~45,000 years prior to the planters' "change of heart", the trans-mutagenic agent when PROPERLY administered through a solemn and reverent ceremony with a sacrifice worthy of the objective, the results would be as seen in at the film's opening. Kind of like painting on a blank canvas.

BUT, if administered to life already in existence, that agent's effect would be destruction of that life through mutagenic overwhelming - the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away... kind of like painting over a Da Vinci.

4) The need for destruction wasn't forseen.

What the film also suggests is that the earliest human tribe capable of intelligence sufficient for wall painting was Scottish!!!

Any wonder?

Thanks Ridley SCOTT! ; )

I may have to see it a third time....once it's on DVD!
