Why is it that the Big Head is Human? If the Space Jockey's are indeed the 'creators' of Humanity who grew tired of us (as the theory goes) then why build a giant Human head instead of one with the Space Jockey's likeness?

given that logic, perhaps they erected that giant head / face before they grew bored with humans...

I see at least 2 logical explanations for your question: 1. There is one different chamber for each race created by the Engineers. Then maybe (i) the chamber/temple/derelict(?) with the human head is found on Earth or near Earth (Mars?); or (ii) the temple found by the crew is located on a "hub" planet and has different chambers for every race created. 2. The Engineers look like us (or rather we look like them). Then maybe that is a statue of a SJ rather than a human.

"[b]yeah i too believe the sjs will be human,not only the guy behind the s is striding towards the pilots seat with intent as it emerges from the floor,but whats the old saying"god created mankind in his own image"[/b]" I think this is the most likely scenario. There's the giant head in the ampule room, the humanoid figure in the SJ chair room, the suit looking things in the corridor pic with Rapace in the foreground, Ridley Scott saying the thing in the chair was a suit (as opposed to an alien creature as most of us always thought it was). The SJ are humanoid & created humans in their own image ...... then humans got a bit big for their boots, flew off into space looking for answers & profit & F'd the whole thing up!! This ties in with some of what we have seen so for, the general theme of the whole Alien series (company involvement, trying to make a profit out of all this stuff etc) & the whole story of Prometheus as told in Greek mythology. There I solved the whole mystery of the film in one paragraph :D

yeah i hope they arent human but knowing that the suits are biomechanical, imagesof the annunaki portrayed as large humans, and the fact that its a giant human face and that is indeed in space not an ancient site on earth..makes me think they probably are human... unless that particular site is a room on the ship about our creation and those urns on the floor are different aspects of our genetic makeup...say maybe a room with the central theme being human beings...
