my understanding of the film

I give this film five stars. First of all, I am more interested in the ancient alien theory. Many science fiction films in Europe and the United States are designed and shot based on a certain scientific hypothesis or scientific theory. So, if you want to understand the film, you need to have some background knowledge. Let’s talk about the understanding of the movie from a few points: the small plane in the hands of the old man in the cave is a golden plane that once made a sensation in the archaeological world. In addition, this thing has also appeared in the study of Sumerian civilization. The director probably wanted to explain that the world's religions come from the same source. The supernatural miracles recorded in ancient religions may have the same origin. The water in the kettle turned into sand, which requires a better understanding of religion. There was a record of Jesus turning water into wine in the New Testament. The director probably wanted to explain this phenomenon by referring to this record, which is to replace it with a sci-fi explanation method. The dismembered creatures on the stone seem to be similar to sacrifices, the difference is that it is people instead of cattle and sheep. This shows that what the search team encountered was not the god recorded in the religion. In the end, the male protagonist floated up and appeared in the research institute, indicating that in ancient times he might have been worshipped, but in today's era of science supremacy, his performance has become the object of study. In fact, I feel that this film has a certain anti-war concept, probably trying to tell the audience through the film that religions may have the same origin, but the cultural phenomena reflected in different countries are different. We should seek common ground while reserving differences. Humans know very little about the world. Personally, I understand that this is what the film wants to express.
