MemberGiganOct-08-2016 6:26 AMPerhaps the message is referring to freaking Kong himself?

Chris
AdminSpaceGodzillaOct-08-2016 6:32 AMI would assume so! Apparently also, according to Brian, who provided the above passage, there is also a massive skeleton shown on the Island's surface. However, he doesn't say if it's a Kong skeleton. I assume we'll be privy to some other giant monsters, not just Kong. Any bets on a hint to RODAN?

MemberBaragonOct-08-2016 6:38 AMEnlil made him guardian.
There's something really important about that, calling it now

Chris
AdminSpaceGodzillaOct-08-2016 6:43 AMYep, perhaps some mythical God to the people of Skull Island? Or an actual being we have yet to be introduced to?

MemberBaragonOct-08-2016 6:57 AMWish we knew the context of the message.
Is it an advert, an in universe message, or a cryptic synopsis of kong. Why is he guarding the Cedar Forest to keep people out, who's Enlil and who even wrote the message in English at that.
This that line brings up so many questions.

AdminSpaceGodzillaOct-08-2016 7:51 AMI just received some juicy new info on this poster, but it needs its own post. Writing now, it opens up even more doors....

Enlil is one of the Sumerian deities attributed to the creation of humanity. Sumeria is one of the first cultures to have any form of a written record, but their records are incredibly detailed (even having random stuff like marriage records and records about business). They primarily attribute Enlil and Enki to the creation of man and civilization. It is thought they are among the class of species of the Biblical Nephilim (see Genesis 6:4 for talk of "sons of God"--entities of some kind who are different than God and different than man--who married the daughters of men, and who brought civilization to earth), the Sumerian Annunaki and the "Grigori" (Watchers) of the Jewish lore. Sounds like Kong is taking the mythos to a creationist level. I like it.

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-08-2016 9:01 AMThe Anunnaki weren't Egyptian, they were a pantheon of minor ancient Mesopotamian deities. In recent decades they've been co-opted by the Ancient Aliens crowd (starting with Sitchin), and from there they've been equated with the "Watchers" from The Book of Enoch (which was Jewish, not Slavic) by the Nephilim "researchers" who have back-formed new Christian theories from the ancient astronaut stuff.

AdminSpaceGodzillaOct-08-2016 11:46 AMLearning a lot about ancient cultures today haha. Love how Legendary and Universal are incorporating these aspects into the new story and not coming up with some random mythology.

MemberRodanOct-08-2016 12:13 PMIt was once said that a battle occurred between the demigods and the humans over the beautiful and divine forest of Cedar trees near southern Mesopotamia. The forest, once protected by the Sumerian god Enil, was completely bared of its trees when humans entered its grounds 4700 years ago, after winning the battle against the guardians of the forest, the demigods. The story also tells that Gilgamesh used cedar wood to build his city.
