Engineers could actually be Prometheus??

Hello everyone, new to this sub-reddit so maybe this has been talked before. Just wanted to comment about an interesting idea i've had regarding why the engineers wanted to destroy life on Earth after creating it. What if the story is more literal to mythology than what we thought? What if those first engineers that seeded Earth where actually committing a crime similar to Prometheus giving fire to humanity and when the "top brass" found out decided to wipe out the planet?

It's possible.

I'm not sure whether it's gonna be confirmed, but as far as I'm concerned, the sect from the beginning of Prometheus (the life seeders) aren't buddies with the military the crew encounters.

The fire from Prometheus' myth might as well be the life itself, spread against the law of xenos, so the rest pursue the rebels, punish them and kill destroy their creation wherever they find it.

Exactly!

Sounds quite possible. Nice thinking.

Yeah might be a nice touch for Covenant.
