Who Created Engineers ? Origins Explained || Theories

In today’s video, I wanna talk about a question that many people wondered which is who created engineers. Just like Shaw said, if Engineers created us, who created them?
Get the T-Shirt teespring.com/stores/synthwave
The first theory proposes that Engineers evolved from the black goo or the pathogen. From Alien Covenant deleted scene we learned that the black goo is an ancient form of AI that contains nanoparticles cable of evolutionary computing. This substance is also called an accelerant and poses different proprieties many of which we don’t even know yet. Since the black goo is a biological substance, in certain environments in could have produced simple organisms that eventually evolved into more complex ones until humanoid beings such as Engineers appeared.
That’s why engineers almost worshiped the pathogen and created a temple filled with pathogen ampules.
Another reason we’ve never seen the black goo producing life on it’s own is because Engineers always kept in isolation from outside world: glass ampules with the black goo were placed in solid urns.
With that being said, Engineers originated from the black goo and then worshiped this substance as the source of their existence.
But their attempts to play “god" led to their destruction and one or maybe all of the Engineer planets were contaminated.
The second theory is actually pretty crazy but it can make sense because there are quite a bit of details that can prove it. Remember this is just a theory and although it makes sense in a certain way, I’m pretty sceptical about it.
The main idea is that xenomorphs created engineers, as opposed to what most people thought. This theory contradicts to the commonly accepted assumption that every civilization or species are created by another more advanced civilizations. It doesn’t always have to be the case because in certain surcomstances, civilizations can degrade instead of always progressing.
According to this theory, Engineers did not create humans and the planet that we see at the beginning of Prometheus is the planet 4 or just another planet that Engineers wanted to seed with xenomorphs, their creators.
This theory would explain the xenomorph mural in Prometheus.
Engineers clearly worshiped this xenomorph looking organism because it created them. Xenomorph was portrayed in a crusifix form which is a way producers implied it’s devine status and there is really no other explanation for the mural, other than someone that Engineers worshiped.
David created some version of a xenomorph in Alien covenant because he used pre existing alien dna contained in the black goo. Even in the novelization David says that xenomoph eggs were already there before his arrival.
So how and why xenomorphs would create Engineers ?
Xenomorphs civilization went exstinct because of their abuse of technologies and their last attempt to survive was to create an artificial intelligence in the form of Engineers to spread their dna across the galaxy and prevent their species from dying, sounds like what humans are trying to do using androids.
For this reason they created an atrificial life form Engineers to help them survive and maintain favourable environment for their reproduction. Engineers were way smarter than xenomorphs, just like androids exceed humans in almost everything.
Abuse of technologies is one of the main themes of Alien movies so it would make perfect sense if this is what happened to xenomorphs. In fact the same thing might have destroyed engineers, since they went from wearing ropes to bio-suits merged with their bodies. And their planet might have been destroyed as a result of losing control over a technology or a bio experiment that they were conducting.
Alien movies itself are suggesting that although technological progress can offer many benefits, its abuse and extreme dependence can lead to the extinction of human race.
So Alien movies is a warning to humans that if we don’t use technology in a more responsible way, we will become bio hybrid monsters that we’re so afraid of.
Technology turning agains humans is also an important theme in alien movies, david and ash value exploration of alien life forms over human crew.
and it is shown multiple times that technology fails to protect humans.

I like the idea of the engineers creating the Xenomorphs as a way of connecting themselves to their creators. But rather then the Xenomorphs losing their intelligence I believe it’d be more satisfactory that the Xenomorphs we’ve seen are failed recreations. Almost like people trying to make an angel but creating demons instead.

[@deezimmo4814]

I had heard that the humanoid figure in the room with the black goo was the first engineer infected with an alien 'deacon' that had the gold blood; the engineers had lost the ability to reproduce on their own. The gold blood allowed the engineers to seed other planets, but they ran out of the blood and the black goo was their attempt to replicate the golden blood from the first deacon.

[@heuvelke1065]

That makes sense

[@butterybiscuit346]

Yeah, Kroft talks about that in some earlier videos about original drafts/scripts and how a lot of the Engineer stuff got cut. I think he has 2 videos about that. 1 before the special edition blueray, and the second one after the blueray with interviews/documentary that does enforce that the earlier scripts/drafts elaborate on the engineers and their worship of the original true "deacon" and how it allowed them to reproduce. After they gave up sex, i think the quote is something like, "they reproduced in strange and exotic ways" or something like that. Hinting at bio-engineering/cloning/whatever ethereal/eldritch methods you can think up. The true deacon shows up, they use it's blood for reproduction, run out, and make the black goo. I don't think it is stated anywhere if the Engi who seeded life on earth used the original deacon blood or their version black goo. It would make more sense if they used their black goo since humans are waaaay to violent for them, and then leads them to start playing around with the black goo to try and isolate the "violence" gene. The planet David hits with the black goo look really similar to engi's but also humans. They favor the engineer architecture and humble looks, with major parts of the planet being left alone and natural. So I would hazard a guess that planet 4's Engi/human hybrids were a successful pre-earth attempt using original deacon blood and earth's humans were black goo hybrids.

I think the important thing is that the story has balance , the engineers create life and the xenomorph destroys it.. as an antithesis. Humans are in the middle. The dark details around are interesting but decorative. At the end this story was created with mysteries that were never planned to be explained like the spacejockey. Decades later and with the desire to make money with a franchise every detail has been forced to fit a giant puzzle that was never supposed to exist.

[@Gavolak]

I think this is true of almost every giant franchise. Star Wars for example, was supposed to be a stand alone movie at first. George Lucas didn’t expect it to be successful at all and after it was, the other ot movies were made to fill in the gaps

Interesting. Sort of like the Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva trinity (trimurti): Creator, Preserver, Destroyer. One Hindu once created the G-O-D acronym by describing them as Generator, Operator, Destroyer.

[@euclois]

I think any author when writes a story thinks of way more stuff than what actually goes on the final production (movie, book music etc). This is because of budget constraints which account to time as well. I bet they wished they could have worked more on the concept and all details that make up the story but didn't because time was limited. Once the movie got popular, there was enough budget and time to bring all those details to further development and introduce them in new movies. I don't think there were created to fill in gaps.

"Engineers clearly Worship the Xenomorph Looking being" Not necessarily. Many people speculate it is not a form of Worship, but instead a warning against misusing the Black Goo (perhaps both warning and worship). That is; Irresponsible use of the Black Goo can result in catastrophic results to its users. What little use of the Black Goo we see from the Engineers has always been controlled, almost ritualistic on screen. It lends credence to the idea that Engineers have a very rigid structure around the Black Goo and its usage.

[@olharsemsonhos]

[@DinaStrange]

[@LV_223]

The mural/ statue of the Xenomorph looking creature could also be more of a reverence to the Engineer’s most perfect creation. An acknowledgement of the height of the bioengineering prowess. We (humans) could just be a small side experiment in creating individually intelligent life in the Engineer image. We aren’t their main focus, we are just a side project which they view as a failure. The Xenomorph is the the true focus.

There could be many reasons for that, though. Who knows if they made the goo? Perhaps they found it, indicating they're not that advanced. The Klingon in Star Trek are very ritualistic, yet advanced. That's one of the appealing things about Star Trek--it shows there are many paths of advancement, not just the ones shown by humans. Klingons likely stole the technology they needed and back engineered it from there.

[@rubenlopezusa]

[@tshavfengvang7831]

Perhaps, we can look at it in this perspective. A higher being above the Engineers intentionally left the Black Goo there behind to see if the Engineers would keep the Covenant: the seal or promise of faithfulness to the gods. Like all flawed races in the Universe, the Engineers chosed rebellion against their creator. They wanted to be like the gods so they used the Black Goos to make themselves invincible. Sounds like a similar story in the Garden of Eden? Had they chosen the Convenant over the Black Goos, the Enginneers would have been the chosen race to be in good terms with the gods. In return, they will enjoy peace, prosperity, and no death. By choosing the Black Goos, it was an admissible death sentence b/c that was grounds for a rebellion. How do you suppose a third of the angels were cast out of the Heavens? The containers weren't completely sealed proof b/c it was a matter of choice. Similarly, in Prometheus, had David obeyed his master's orders not to enter into the Forbidden chamber of the ship, the entire Prometheus crew would have lived to see their mission being accomplished.

[@tshavfengvang7831]

@Niŋin turdl已 If the engineers are the fallen angels, then we would indeed be in serious jeopardy. These so-called angelic beings have ranks after ranks of principalities and powers beyond the human race can withstand. A third of 10k x 10k = 33,000,000. We're all dead meat! 🤣🤣🤣

Well with the release of the unpublished script, we know that, at least originally, the engineers worshipped and ancient parasitic being, they worship it because they evolved passed the ability to reproduce, but this being facehugging onto them, allowed them to spawn new life, but I think it's safe to assume that being wasn't a traditional Xeno, because it's blood would be acidic, and we know the goo in the jar from the opening scene is supposed to be it's blood, which instead of being acidic is instead mutigenic. Also, if they worshipped it and didn't fear it, it's likely these beings were intelligent. And the engineers took the blood of this parasite and used it to mutate themselves into new life. From there we know that some engineers tried to weaponize it, or at least a synthetic version of it. As to whether or not David truly created the Xenos, I think he just ushured in it's natural next step. Every instance of life affected by the mutigenic "goo" all appear to be parasitic. From the hammerpedes, to the giant face humper that attached to the engineer. I don't think David truly did as much as he believes he did. I think the goo used him, like it uses everything else. A true parasite.

[@kajro0]

That's right Joe. It was blood of the Lord he drink, not a poison as this idiot suggest.

[@Phantom19913]

I had a crazy Idea David was born already superior to his creators thus causing David to develop a complex so when they discovered the engineers he though he would encounter superior beings to coexist with. After Prometheus David studied the engineers and realized they were created by a superior lifeform the xenomorph entity that they worshiped. The engineers were just as disappointing as humans were for David so he destroyed them and got to work on recreating their creators thus the xenomorphs prototypes he made but his work has yet to yield the desired result.

I thought that in almost all alien & AvP movies it was pretty clear that xenomorphs were designed to be the ultimate biological weapon. Their entire design points to being a weapon as almost every part of them is lethal & their entire aim is to kill, reproduce, multiply and wipe out anything in its way. Don't know too much about the backstory but couldn't the engineers have been at war with predators and create a bioweapon that is stronger than any predator?

We don't know and perhaps we will never know 4 sure if there was a war going on between the two races. With that being said, we do know that the Predators enjoyed the sport of hunting down the Xenomorphs as this is a great honor in gaining ranks. The Engineers don't possess all the badass weapons like the Predators but they do have that cunning ability to create destructive biological species that will fight for them on the frontline. In an actual hand to hand combat, an engineer can easily overpower a predator warrior as seen from the comic series. The enginneers are incredibly strong. So yes, with the Xenomorphs on their side, the Predators are no match. But wait…don't forget that the Predators do have something up in their sleaves. They got the nukes with the explosive power of a 500 kilotons of TNT. That's more than enough to level an entire city the size of Manhattan, New York. They will leave no traces behind. 😅😅😱😱☠☠☠☠☠☠

Then,they probably meant it as a sort of a gift🤣. Seriously, the Predators love Xenomorphs as prey. They made specialised hunting grounds for them, used human sacrifices to incubate their young.

[@joshgardner112]

As per option 2, thats not what I was picking up on here with the Engineers’ creator story - this is - They’re god was a benevolent, highly evolved & intelligently advanced Xenomorph species, a Queen alien; apparently, it seems that The Engineers as a species lost the ability to reproduce and going extinct, & that is when they met this angelic Xenomorph that agreed to sacrifice her life in order to genetically engineer or hybridize their DNAs together in order to save their species. It worked, at least for awhile, and the Engineers proceeded to worship the Wise Queen Xenomorph as their god, specifically worshipping the small amount of her blood they have maintained as the elixir of life; however, over time The Engineers DNA began to degrade again, and with extinction looming again they began desperate genetic engineering experiments attempting to synthesize their God’s blood and attempt to resurrect their God (in other words, the highly intelligent & benevolent ancient Xenomorph race that created them) - however Engineers could never perfect the synthesis, and the changes made accidentally to the blood’s DNA kept evolving & mutating over time into a rabid hybrid hive-minded species with no soul, controlled essentially by what the engineers would likely consider to be The Devil or the opposite of their God - A Queen xenomorph that only cares about herself and about spreading infestation & death...the bot hed Engineer experiments With xenomorph blood led to the birth of a new mutant species of xenomorph that ironically now threatens all life in the galaxy - so, it seems like a whole bunch of genetic engineering experiments gone terribly wrong and the unforeseen nightmare consequences such risky experiments could accidentally yield

[@ferrumbruti167]

One of the things that people miss is also the biblical and biological or evolutionary themes that Ridley Scott features in the Alien Franchise at least Alien, and of course Prometheus or Covenant as well. 1: Bio-Mechanical Theme Because many of the aspects are influenced literally from H.R. Giger's artwork we have to take into consideration that the Xeno's and Engineers share the same "Bio-Mechanical" theme. We can first see this in both the looks from the Xenomorph acid blood, and finally the Engineer bio suits that indeed there is an element of genetic engineering as well as bio mechanical engineering as well that goes into the themes. Same could be said about the Black Goo as well being an accelerate and also a mutation agent as well. 2: Biblical and Evolutionary Themes Biblical themes can be found throughout the Alien and Prometheus/Covenant movies as well. From LV 426 to also LV 223. Because of this, the scriptures goes as stated: Leviticus 4:26 "He shall burn all the fat on the altar as he burned the fat of the fellowship offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for the leader's sin, and he will be forgiven." also... Leviticus 22:3 "Say to them: 'For the generations to come, if any of your descendants is ceremonially unclean and yet comes near the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from my presence. I am the LORD." This has been a rolling theory fans have had about the film with the Engineers obsessing with the perfect life form or organism. Furthermore this also can be stated by Ash from the movie Alien both about purity and perfection. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4uYpItqpqhofqc Stating how he admires it's purity, and also it being the perfect organism. So because of this we can think that indeed this is why we as humans were host for the next stage. Just the fact we became self aware, questioned the creators back then, and finally were considered blemished again so to speak. Now in part to about Evolutionary theme? The Black Goo represents the concept of life literally spurring from the primordial ooze or in this case "Black Goo" either being accelerated, altered, or finally mutated. Thoughts: My thoughts is basically that in looking at the themes from the Alien movies at least both Alien, Aliens, Prometheus, and finally Covenant that it could be said whoever or whatever created the Engineers might have been created from an intelligence with a sense of order. Implying creation with Intelligent Design implied into it's development, now rather out of protocol, instinct or self awareness with ambition to distinguish themselves as "The Creators" could be another thing but what is known that the theme of creation and evolution was carried out with a "grand design" for the goal. That major goal is still a mystery but in my opinion the Engineers feel they are simply following their role in engineering and creating life, but as ambition or out of dedication with zealous faith is another story. Hopefully we will find out eventually...

the concept behind the engineers are the ufo-logically reimagined nephelim time who gave birth to Titans(fallen Angels in the period of Enoch till the Deluge in bible) Those (according to the bible) “fallen angels” like the daughter of men back then 4000 BCE - 4200 BCE and want to have a sexual relation with them and make themselves children but that is not allowed for this type of creatures, and they do it anyway disobeying God laws . And results between human and angels was the birth of Titans. So the Xeno’s related to nephilim And the Engineers related to the Titans also called “warriors men of renowned”

They came from Missouri, U.S.A. Most Predators moved to Alabama and mated with their own sisters, mothers, aunts, grandmas, and neices. Alabama Predators became the Yautja.

[@DarkLadyAthena1]

I like the last theory and it makes a ton of sense. From the director's cut of Alien and Scott's commentary as the title sequence begins, he says that his vision along with O'Bannon and Giger who designed this monstrous beauty is that it hinted that the Xeno was something ancient, far beyond our comprehension. It goes hand in hand with cosmic horror and if this rode is taken (hopefully) it will also share parallels with Dune which is thousands of years into the future when humans have decided to train themselves over becoming dependant on tech which nearly destroyed them.

I think it's because what we saw in Alien isn't an 'Engineer'. That wasn't a suit. But the Engineers suits are designed to look like those of their masters. Engineers are a slave caste bred/cloned from abducted humans, and sent to fetch more humans as raw material for the Xeno weapons program.

They said engineer and human DNA is the same. Why ever would face huggers produce a different kind of Xenomorph??? If the black goo randomly evolves living things, then how would Xenomorphs even be a target for it to produce??? Something just isn't adding up. Unless, the design is already set within the black goo to produce a Xenomorph-like creature. and if that is so, then it really would not matter, not matter animals you started with, we end with Xenomorphs. So the eggs could come from a queen or the mutated bodies of animal victims. The black goo infects things and turns them into Xenomorphs. The other stuff it does can probably just be chalked up to poor writing.

[@ronnyreagan9320]

[@mer0zer0]

Canon : The species of engineers reeveloped to a state where they were unable to mate with each other and their species were about to go extinct when they came across a trilobite (sorry for miss-spelling) which infected one of them and the deacon was born. the engineers used the deacons blood (seen at the beginning of prometheus) to develop new life forms and create their successors. the black liquid is simply a form of experiment to make a substance similar to the orgininal deacons blood since it was limited.

[@HectorLugo]

In my humble opinion, completely hypothetical is that the Engineers were created by a race very similar to themselves. A race that may have been going extinct and wanted to create a successor. A race that evolved naturally rather than by means of Uplift or other such engineering. The black goo was their eans of doing this, but they controlled the black goo with technology of some kind. When the Engineers, after many thousands of years, tried to do the same they turned to controlling the goo's processes by giving it themselves as a template, thus any race created by the Engineers in this way would have looked humanoid like them. However, not having full control of the goo in a technological sense, they may have accidentally exposed other life forms to it and without the proper controls, the good made them incredibly different, like the Xenomorphs. The Xenomorphs are shown to be on purpose in these movies, but I think the writers made a big mistake there. I think they should have been an accident of evolution or an accident of genetic engineering.

Just cause they don't verbally speak, and they kill humans and other animals on sight, doesn't mean they are stupid animals. Predators, the greatest hunters in the universe, hunt them in small numbers only for a reason, and always bringing backup and a plan to wipe out the planet if needed.

[@LordFarm]

Presenter's accent is AWESOME!!!

[@Vegeta46000]

Interesting concept regarding how xenomorphs could have created the engineers; I always wondered what the mural in the vase chamber in Prometheus was for and my first thought was some kind of god they worshipped. It's possible the xenomorphs regressed from an evolutionary standpoint and became the savage creatures they are now; the engineers are like caretakers who shuttle the black goo (which the xenos could have possibly created) around the universe to create their progeny. Even the 'suits' the engineers wear appear to be biological in appearance as it doesn't appear to be clothing. Maybe these engineers are eventually becoming xenomorphs as the appearance of their 'suits' remind me a bit of the xenomorph armor but without the protrusions.
