I think Ridley Scott recycled some of the events from the ORIGINAL 'Alien' scrip

In the original Alien script, the crew of the Nostromo discovers the Derelict ship, but instead of there being an egg chamber in the ship, there was a triangle etched on the Space Jockey’s seat. They did some looking around the planet, and they found a pyramid. [b]Inside the pyramid they found a chamber filled with vessels, much like the ones found in the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sftuxbvGwiU]Prometheus trailer[/url].[/b] I don’t know its seems very similar. [b]Script Excerpt[/b][i][u][/u][/i] Broussard is standing on a dusty stone floor, with a feeble column of sunlight shining down around him from the tunnel above. Around is solid darkness. He flashes his datastick around. The beam reveals that he is in a stone room. STRANGE HEIROGLYPHICS are carved into the walls. They have a primitive, religious appearance. Row after row of pictograms stretch from floor to ceiling, some epic history in an unknown language. Huge religious symbols dominate one wall. Spaced at intervals are stylized stone statues, depicting grotesque monsters, half anthropoid, half octopus. BROUSSARD It’s unbelievable! It’s like some kind of tomb… some primitive religion! Hey, is anybody there? Do you read me? Standard! Annoyed, Broussard yanks off his breathing goggles, and leaves them hanging around his neck. He takes a deep breath of the wet air. EXTERIOR - BASE OF PYRAMID - LATE AFTERNOON Standard and Melkonis are standing around nervously. STANDARD If we don’t hear from him soon, I think we better go in after him. MELKONIS Sun will be down in a minute. INTERIOR - TOMB - LATE AFTERNOON Face bare, Broussard approaches the center of the room, which is dominated by a large, broad pedestal. On the pedestal are ROWS OF LEATHERY URNS OR JARS, EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE BROUSSARD STUMBLED ACROSS IN THE ALIEN SHIP — EXCEPT THESE ARE ALL SEALED. He walks around the urns, studying them. They all have sealed lids. He shines his light on one of them; then he lays his gloved hand on it. He lifts his mask radio to his lips. BROUSSARD I don’t know if you can hear me, but the place is full of large bottles or jars, just like the one we found on the other ship — except these are all sealed. Also they’re soft to the touch. He peers more closely at the leathery object. BROUSSARD (CONT’D) Another funny thing — I just put my hand on it, and now there are these raised areas appearing where my fingertips were. EXTERIOR - BASE OF PYRAMID - DAY THE SUN DROPS BELOW THE HORIZON, throwing the landscape into gloom. Standard and Melkonis switch on their lights. STANDARD Let’s go. He attaches his chest unit to the wire and starts up. INTERIOR - TOMB - NIGHT Broussard is moving his light along the rows of heiroglyphs on the wall. They depict stylized drawings of strange monsters. He pauses to quickly change the film clip in his datastick; then he turns back to the “urn” he was examining — BUT NOW THERE IS A HOLE IN THE TOP OF IT. He shines his light on the floor at the base of the “urn.” There lies the “lid” — the stopper that had filled the hole. He picks it up and studies it. It appears more organic than artificial; the inside surface is spongy and irregular. Then he turns the light to the now-open “urn.” He bends over the mouth of the “urn” shining the light in, AND WITH SHOCKING VIOLENCE, A SMALL, OCTOPUS-LIKE THING LEAPS OUT AND ATTACHES ITSELF TO HIS FACE, WRAPPING ITS TENTACLES AROUND HIS HEAD. With a MUFFLED SCREAM, he launches himself backward, tearing at the thing with his hands.
