A string of question marks - "Babylonian Age" that I didn't understand

I watched the movie before the introduction. After watching the movie, I found that the content in the introduction was completely nonsense. Probably because the content involves religion, many plots have not been explained clearly, and the development of the story is also inexplicable. I watched a 90-minute version first, but I didn't understand it, and then downloaded a 100-minute unrated version. Did not understand.

Since there are some invisible details in this type of film, I had to watch it again.
First I stared at the actor's tattoo. There is a symbol on the neck that resembles two interlaced pentagrams, the right hand has a "TSMC", a crown and some patterns, the left hand is an eagle and some symbols that are not very clear, the one on the back is a close-up, it is Winged scarab and a skull with "HOVC" tattooed on the back of the left hand.
Analyze them one by one, those who can't see clearly can only give up, "TSMC" doesn't know what it means; the eagle represents probably the United States (the male protagonist is set to be an American), "HOVC".... .. This is beyond the scope of my knowledge. Only scarabs can say a few more words: scarabs are called heper in Egypt, which is birth. In ancient Egypt, people used scarabs as totems, and people hoped that they could Reborn like a scarab. It is generally used as a talisman.
But what does this have to do with Babylon?
If the film is linked to the "Bible", it is somewhat meaningful. Not once in the film it is mentioned that Aurora will be Messiah's mother, Messiah ancient Jewish, Hebrew "savior" meaning, Christian Messiah is Jesus, which means Aurora is a character like the Virgin. According to my understanding, Aurora is a Virgin who was designed and created. She has certain superpowers, and her two children, Messiah, will become the savior or the destroyer, so there is such a story.

However, the film was indeed cut badly. There is a 161-minute director's version in the legend. There is no news about this version, and some people say that there is no such version at all. I don't know if there will be a second part...
