Knowing that this hole is completely fill and sealled shut:

    It's heavily implied to be the blood of dead Xandarians.

It is the blood of dead Xandarians, as is evident from the very next scene.

Ronan The Accuser kills a captive Xandarian on the platform, after which the blood is shown to flow back into the circular chamber from which Ronan had risen at the beginning.

Ronan slaying the Xandarian. The Xandarian blood drain.

  • i just look back at the scene and that is true :D thx... we even see Ronan on his knee and watching the blood entering that hole.. i had never realise that and the reason is simple... when the liquid slowly slip away there is none of it that sticks to Ronans body as (in my mind) blood is suppose to be thick and sticky. We even see that it looks like thick and sticky when it runs down the (hotel) after Ronan smash the Xandorian's head

    Apparently alien blood doesn't coagulate. That must suck for paper cuts

    The sand may be some sort of ritual, or it may simply be an alternative to towels. Some cultures used to use sand for drying purposes - after the sand soaked up the wetness, they wiped off the sand. Sounds gritty, but it's true.
