Giant head transport for the urns?

the urns are the start of the egg/face huggers check out the blog ,,, DAVIDS green slime ,and have look at picture of the hand pulling out the green slim , ,,its a early stage of a egg

sorry ,,should be index finger blog

still speculation ncc1701, this is not a proven theory at all as of yet.

God knows what the urns are about, it is all part of the mystery....... it is frustrating i know but just 5 months to go............................................................................................:(

Don't think "urns" think biological torpedoes.

Here's a point, anyone else notice what looks like big scratch marks around the "eyebrow" part of the big head thing?? Inflicted by xenomorphs maybe. . .

Possibly but the image where Fassbender is pulling the green goo out of the urn, you can clearly see 4 points at the tip of it, it does look like an unformed egg. RickK.... you may not be far off with that idea.

it looks nothing lke an egg...in aliens we see a queen laying the eggs....they come out looking like they do just what the hell is it though

Apollo,,,I do agree .I keep looking at green slime pic , and keep seeing the top of a new egg at a certain stage with something inside ....looks boney ??

hey.... here is a THOUGHT.... maybe, just maybe - whatever is in the urns, is something we have NOT seen or HEARD OF before.... and who came up with this idiotic "proto-hugger" or "egg before it turns into an egg" bullshit.... wow....just wow....

I agree Tyrannosaurus, remember Ridley did say that small things will equal big things.

totally... speculation is why we are here, but i really think we should ALL try to keep a few things as mysteries until we SEE the film, which Ridley Scott wants

ALIENS has nothing to do with this film, I think it would be wise to stop trying to clarify things you are seeing in Prometheus with things from ALIENS. There is no Queen in this film, there is No Hudson in this film and there is no Cameron anywhere. The urns look like they are housing the bio engineered casing and hugger. Yes. the things in Alien only looked like eggs, it doesn't mean they were eggs. Think about it. Even the outer part was alive. The hugger didn't slightly open the pouch and then take a drink of whiskey waiting for the right time to jump out. The pouch sensed something nearby and opened giving whats inside a clear opening to attack. Which leads me to believe it is organic and alive.

i STRONGLY suggest watching the original Alien, with commentary on by Ridley Scott - it's quite enlightening.... also, go over the production sketches and photos and etc.... again, very enlightening
