Hollywood stole the identity of an african deity to create the Alien creature

[Larry Lobster]

Eshu/Exú

Eshu (known as Echú or Exú in Latin America and Esu in Nigeria) is an Orisha in the Yoruba religion of the Yoruba people (originating from Yorubaland, an area in and around present-day Nigeria). As the religion has spread around the world, the name of this Orisha has varied in different locations, but the beliefs remain similar.

The Yoruba theology teaches us that there are 201 powers of the right (Ibora/Irumole) called Orisha whose role is to act as protectors and facilitators of humankind, But there are also 201 powers to the left called "Ajogun" (Demons) whose role is to present humans with challenges and obstacles.

Eshu's place alone is unique because he is both an "Orisha" and the leader of the " Ajogun" He is the one deity that is found as the "one" on both sides Orisa (201) and Ajogun (201) being able to be in all places at the same time. Given the name the porter voice of the orisa by Olodumare himself for being so honest and just.

:quitlying: dope. sounds like an all knowing God. Yehweh or Elohim...I wonder where the Jews got it from. Do the Yorubas predate the abrahamic faiths?

Don't blame hollywood, blame H.R. Geiger. The alien movie franchises designs were all based off of his paintings and artwork
