ancient aliens

Yeah its a interesting idea...

One that some on here thought about as far as why we was created, so that we can then be used to become Xenos?

But then why? Because they worship Xenos? Sorry but the movie clues shows us our Engineers as a Advanced Race, the Sacrifical Scene and Ancient Alien connections shows us they may have had some advanced Culture...

The Xeno on the other hand seems to be portrayed as a life form that has basic survival and procreation instincts.. but is perfect for that function...

The other idea was that they harvest DNA from us after we are infected....

Surely a advanced race has better ways to harvest our DNA than the method of using Xenos on us....  Especially when we see that messing with the Xeno and its DNA had proved fatal to the Engineers not only the Space Jockey but also the LV 223 outbreak.

The other idea some had was that we get Morphed into Eggs like in Alien DC and the Engineers come down and collect the Eggs so they have new stash of Bio Weapons..

This would make more sense if we throw out the Queen.... but even so, we know the Engineers again had difficulty in keeping themselves safe from these Experiments to create the Bio Weapon and also that transporting Eggs was risky business...

The other idea was the Xenos are Gods, and the Engineers are used to procreate their kind, and the Engineers may then had created us so that we can procreate their Gods instead...

Nice idea, but again as my 1st of the above points, i dont see the Xeno as a more advanced culture!

The idea i am drawn to is that these Engineers create life, they upgrade life for some purpose... but they are Genetic Engineers, Genetic Gardeners and we are one of the many Fruits/Flowers they created...

They seed their DNA so that life created carries their DNA, as they have superiour DNA.

But what if a faction of them either created something, or came across something or created something from experiments on something they came across...

And by accident a Deacon was born....

This Chest Buster allowed one of their kind to give birth to new life in a way maybe the Engineers lost?

They found this fascinating, and they futher went to experiment on the DNA of the Xeno to produce different new types of Fruit/Flowers...

Until the result was the Deacon in the Mural.... at this point they saw this Hybrid Creature as the Perfect Lifeform... it had both Engineers DNA and Xeno. and at some point the Engineers on LV 223 saw that seeding Worlds with this Hyrbid DNA was more favourable than Engineers DNA.

the Deacon had Shaw's DNA as well as the Engineer's DNA. Although similar, maybe the mix also intrigued the Engineers, and hence their need for us...?

Thats interesting and we cant be sure for certain, every peice of clue, and especially if we take clues from the Alien movies, Star Beast Draft, the Spaights Alien Engineers Draft, they can all lead us all down a different path depending on interpretation.

The Deacon had Engineer DNA for sure, we dont know what % but if we look at it being Human Terms or Different Race on Earth Terms without sounding Racist...

If we had a Person who was born from African Father, and a White Mother they would be Half Afro/Europeon...  now if this person then has a child to a Asian (Chinese) Male the result would be in theory Half Chinese, 25% African and 25% White Europeon.

My point being that if the process of DNA passing is the same as Humans, then our Deacon would be 25% Human, 25% Xeno and 50% Engineer.

Where as the Original Alien that we had in the movies, when infecting a Human Host gave us say 50% Xeno and 50% Human DNA..

But as i said thats based on Human DNA passing traits and so the Xeno etc and everything we see in the movie may be a different ratio... i.e  a Xeno Face Huger plus Human Host may not produce a 50/50 DNA.

As far as the need for us goes, Originally my conclusion from all the clues, in the franchise including Star Beast,  leads me more down the path that the Engineers DNA is used to create Life and also to evolve life to make Humanoids close to themselves i.e Mankind.

But some event led to the creation of a Deacon, well a Organism maybe that produced a Chest Buster from a Engineer and they saw a part Engineer DNA and part Xeno DNA Hyrbid,  and they either found this Organism interesting and its DNA Perfect, or they carried out experiments with the results to then create something Perfect.

And regardless this is the Mural Deacon and thus a Organism who the Engineers then saw its DNA as better than that of the Engineers DNA, and then they use this to then seed and upgrade life with rather than Engineer DNA.

But it seems Fox and Ridley are going a diferent route, one that could send us down the path that our Engineers are created to be hosts to produce the Deacon or various Bio Weapons for some purpose..

And the Engineers then decided hang on... if we create a race in our Image we can then use them to become the Hosts and not us....

Maybe they did this to save them being used as such, by their creators, and maybe the results they intended maybe to use against their creators?

Would be like David 8s to come to be like "why should we serve mankind? We are superiour so why dont we create a more simple Robot that can take the place of our chores and purposes, and we then take out Mankind and replace them"
