Neon Genesis Evangelion/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** The ancient prophets of Qumran who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls, most likely. Remember that everything that happened (right down to Second Impact), everything done by SEELE, GEHIRN, and NERV, was based on prophetic data found in a hidden Scroll. Presumably it referred to the invaders as Angels, possibly due to restrictions of the ancient Hebrew vocabulary, and the dudes in SEELE just decided to stick with the 2000-year-old code name.

** If this is about how they look, do a little research, and you'll find out that they are far closer in appearance to the angels appearing in the Bible, than the stereotypical pufy winged, blond girly men you can see on Xmas cards. Of course actual angels wouldn't have looiked good on renessaince paintings, so the artists took the liberty of antropomomorphising them. So blame Leonardo da Vinci, not Anno.

 

* Maybe it's due to not having done any extensive research on the real-world ones, but the Dead Sea Scrolls confuse me a bit, as in real-life they're just psalms and passages from the Hebrew Bible (along with Gnostic gospels that were hidden when they were considered Heresy), yet in this universe they're foretellings of the Angel attacks and are basically what NGE have for the [[Necronomicon]]. Basically, did Adam or Lilith just psychically reach out to some people in the year BC and say ''Hey, in several thousand years we're gonna have a fight, so get ready.'', or something?
