Have you seen the movie Prometheus? It is a very dark and thought provoking movie, even for Ridley Scott. Although it is related to the Alien(s) movies, Prometheus takes a whole new approach and introduced the idea of Ancient Aliens or known as The Engineers in the movie
The Engineers in Prometheus sits in a navigation chair that pilots the alien ship.
As the Mayan calender ends on 21st December 2012, does it signify the return of these Engineers soon? Or will mankind pay a heavy price for enlightenment? We shall soon know, wouldn't we?
The truth is out there.
Sumerian and Mayan pictographs depict images of these Ancient Aliens, usually in full astronautical gear. You can Google for these pictures yourself as they are well documented in documentaries and written as well as online research.
Ridley Scott is obviously making a direct reference to this old pictograph found in one of our oldest civilizations.
Or maybe even this Honduras Stone carving that was found at Copan Mayan ruins.
The truth is out there.
