Advent is so tantalizing with how it starts breaking up when David is talking about the Engineers. I want to know what that barbaric ritual is!
Same here. If the Engineers saga should come to an end, they should release an encyclopedia on the Engineers.
About the ritual, there are so many options. First one that comes to mind is the Giger hieroglyph, but at this point it doesn't seem that brutal.
Same goes for the self-sacrifice ritual we saw already at the beginning of Prometheus.
Other options are mass or child sacrifice. But I doubt they'd show the last one.
These could be responsible for the low amount of Engineers on the homeplanet, that is if what we saw in the movie was the whole population.
Cannibalism might fit in with the other Christian influences. Sacrifice one self for the benefit of others, the body of Christ, bread and wine,...
Or the answer might be in mythology, or in literature or poetry.
