Influence on Telepress
A massive circle with hieroglyphics around it's perimeter, which when decyphered helps humans travel great distances to conduct even greater adventures.

Fiction follows Fact follows Fiction follows Fact
The observation, even if only of the movie poster caused neural sparks based on the ancient Egyptian's system of writing in which pictorial symbols are used to represent meaning or sounds. Not to mention a circle or bounding 'gateway' to another 'dimension' or 'world'.
The screenwriter Dean Devlin's observation of current events of 1993 when he wrote the screenplay could have lead to the key theme of the story - the human's journey to find 'truth' this side of the grave using science or religion. Ancient Egyptian semiology is always there for the taking, especially concerning a commercial audience. Most of us have little or no understanding of hieroglyphics but we know they can be decoded if we took any time to bother studying. So the commercial screenplay adds the aura of myth and plays on our lack of real knowledge.

The story is poor but it's concept of travel or being 'distant' to your reality by using a device or interfacing through something by decoding it's displayed index is an integral appropriation of Telepress.
