The 'el' or 'helio' refers to Helios the Sun-god, who was known as El in Judaic scripture. The name 'elagabal' is an Aramaic translation of the Greek 'heliogabal'. The Phoenix was linked to a meterorite, which is why it had firery plumage. Note the stone is embossed with the image of the Phoenix. The elagabal meterorite in a chariot - a gold coin of Emperor Elagabalus. Where it went to after Elagabalus was deposed, nobody knows.Īnd it is notable that the Bond meteorite takes no part in the plot. It originally came from Egypt, but was taken to Delphi in Greece, then to Emessa in Syria, and finally the Syrian emperor often known as Elagabalus took it to Rome. The elagabal omphalos was always depicted as a conical black stone, and sometimes egg shaped, just like the Bond version. Interestingly, the Bond meteorite appears to be a representation of the sacred meteoric stone of antiquity - the omphalos or elagabal.

The one scene inside a dome is to display a large meteorite said to be the remains of the one that formed the crater. they used the staff quarters at Paranal in Chile (home of the VLT) in Quantum of Solace. I guess the film's location crews have a thing for telescopes and 'sciency' stuff. We watch for the great gadgets, groovy girls, and Hot Cars! I prefer the Jag CX75! (who's a Bond Fan!?) But we don't watch Bond movies for the science, or we would be very disappointed. Seriously, why would there be any 'optical telescope' enclosures in a communications hub that would only need satellite microwave uplinks? Which, that close to the equator would be pointed straight up, and could be flat on the ground, or in a bowl like Aricebo. I looked for the 'crater' that was used for the imagery that surrounds the 'fortress' for a bit on Google Earth, but gave up.

SPECTRE FILM MIRROR MOVIE
If you watch the much publicised video of the "largest movie effects explosion", (like that was something to celebrate), you will see the set is built in a flat area, with no ring walls.

The PDF Export uses the Artwork Film Records, which is required for manufacturing output, so it is pretty simple to generate a PDF file of all the layers quickly at the end of the project.īefore outputting the PDF File the Film Records would need to be reviewed to ensure the PDF Sequence on each Film Record correctly define the page order of the PDF Export.įor your mirror print requirement, the Film Record has an option " Film mirrored" to mirror the output, you could temporarily enable on any Film Record you like when creating the PDF file BUT you must remember to disable it before output manufacturing data. There is a couple ways to accomplish what you are looking for but I would recommend exporting a PDF file of the layers and use the Print option in Adobe Reader to control how many layers are placed on one page.
