Ancient Egyptians

[trachstar]

Anybody notice the Fallen's facial structure resembles the ancient Pharaoh's head piece? Especially Akhenaten?
Maybe Bay is trying to convey that the ancient Egyptians modeled their dress according to the ancient Primes who landed on Earth. Humans probably thought they were gods, and wanted to have their own leaders share some of those godly qualities - hence the crazy headdress.
And, anyone else draw up memories of the quintessons?

I can't upload pics for some reason (even though they're the right format and the right size). So here are some links. If anyone else can upload these, that would be a big help in explaining.

Which part? Ahkenaten's headdress? Quintessons similarity? Egyptians' Prime envy?
I searched the boards. Didn't find it. Sorry you wasted your time reading my post.

All of this was part of speculation discussion wayyyy back when the teaser poster showing The Fallen's face surfaced. There were comparisons to Tut, the Sphinx and Anubis.
