There's more to the story than the film suggests because "Alexander (Two Babylons) Hislop", was missing a few key points in his data, particularly as it regards the etymology of key words in ancient history, which shaped our understanding of who did what when and where.

The remaining humans decide that the Predators must be allowed to succeed in their hunt so the Aliens do not reach the surface. As the battle continues most of the characters are killed, leaving only Alexa and a single Predator to fight against the Aliens. The two form an alliance and use the Predator’s self-destruct device to destroy the pyramid and the remaining Aliens. Alexa and the Predator reach the surface, where they battle the escaped Alien queen. They defeat the queen by attaching its chain to a water tower and pushing it over a cliff into the water, dragging the queen to the ocean floor. The Predator, however, dies from its wounds.
They discover a mysterious pyramid and begin to explore it, finding evidence of a civilization predating written history and what appears to be a sacrificial chamber filled with human skeletons with ruptured rib cages.p[//quote]
Other stuff I thought was interesting:
Bouvet Island is the most remote island in the world. The nearest land is Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, over 1,750 kilometres (1,090 mi) away to the south, which does not have a permanent population but is the site of a Norwegian all-year research station.
(from Wikipedia)
Troll research station is a Norwegian Antarctic research station in Queen Maud Land, in the eastern part of Princess Martha Coast, constructed during the Norwegian expedition 1989 - 1990. Located 1270 metres above sea level, 235 km from the coast at 72°00′43.5″S 2°31′56″E / 72.012083°S 2.53222°E / -72.012083; 2.53222. Contrary to other research stations on the continent, Troll is constructed on the snow-free slope of solid rock breaking through the ice sheet at Jutulsessen.

The station was only manned during the Antarctic summer months until facilities for permanent residence were installed February 2005. The capacity is limited to eight people through the winter (average winter population is six) and a significantly larger number during the summer (maximum 40) thanks to the temporary tent camp erected each spring.
On 12 February 2005 the station was officially opened by HM Queen Sonja of Norway for a manned all-year operation, which actually only has been permanent since November 2006.
To facilitate logistics, the Troll Airfield was constructed in 2005, on the Antarctic ice sheet, 6.8 km NNW of the station.
Some important areas of research at Troll include:
* meteorological measurements
* radiation measurements for UV etcetera, and glaciological, biological and physical field programmes.
The station is managed by the Norwegian Polar Institute.
On 23 February 2009 the station hosted a meeting by environment ministers from 15 countries to discuss climate change and learn about recent research in the field.[1]
(from Wikipedia)
"Tor" research station is a Norwegian Antarctic research station in Queen Maud Land, in the easternmost part of Princess Martha Coast at Svarthamaren, established in 1993. It is located 1625 metres above sea level, about 200 km from the coast at 71°53′20″S 05°09′30″E / 71.88889°S 5.15833°E / -71.88889; 5.15833. It is smaller than the other Norwegian station, Troll, and a summer-only station.

But then we have further hiccups much like the flat theory in that people come up with hunches and bypass/ignore/skew all data or observations to come to their own theory on a particular subject. It’s like with quantum physics, a reasonable person can follow the theory even if it ends up not being correct since there is much data/math that suggests we are at least heading in the right direction. Now what if I come along and suggest that at the quantum level it is actually blue elves that bind all matter together? Yes it is a hunch and or faith, but at what point do we put it side by side with all other theories, or should we treat it the same as any other theory and add it to print?
very nice Xtrozero.. do you mean like the ones that live underground in iceland or the ones that live in darnassus?

so one of three things is happening there:
1. it didn't actually exist, i.e. it's a myth
2. it did exist but the text and translations are faulty or exaggerated
3. it did exist and it's describing something quite surprising.

notice i specifically said the texts i'm referring to were translated by OXFORD UNIVERSITY and SAMUEL NOAH KRAMER, who was the first linguist to translate sumerian cuneiform. I'm not giving you sitchin translations. I'm giving you what it says in the texts, as per accepted, mainstream translations, by highly accredited universities and a celebrated assyriologist. why is the default position on this topic always require dragging sitchin's name into it? he did not create the sumerian cuneiform, nor write their texts! i'm sorry to be belligerent about it, but it's seriously frustrating!

I don't think you will find any consensus on these matters but I tend to agree with you and have suspected as much for quite some time,.
To me it is like Occams Razor...the simplest solution, without even having to leave the planet.

And lets take woman's right to terminate a pregnancy. Yes I said it. Do you ever closely observe some of the "religious right" fighting most passionately against a woman's medical privacy? They are armed and ruthless. Not always "compassionate people" for the lifes work they choose -if you catch my drift. The most notorious one lately is a killer who brought a gun into a church and murdered a man in front of his whole family. I understand a certain amount of passion for a cause but this is over the top. They are all over the top and seem to stop at nothing.
I have honestly entertained the prospect that among other groups many in the "religious right" so passionately anti abortion are not concerned with "life and when it begins" or the "soul" or even the infant fetus.
Enki's journey to Nibru: c.1.1.4
An artfully made bright crenellation rising out from the abzu was erected for Lord Nudimmud. He built the temple from precious metal, decorated it with lapis lazuli, and covered it abundantly with gold. In Eridug, he built the house on the bank. Its brickwork makes utterances and gives advice. Its eaves roar like a bull; the temple of Enki bellows. During the night the temple praises its lord and offers its best for him.
A battlement (also called a crenellation) in defensive architecture such as that of city walls or castles, comprises a parapet (i.e. a short wall), in which portions have been cut out at intervals to allow the discharge of arrows or other missiles.
