Ok ... have we discussed this before? ... I can make out 5 in the image below ... there may be more in the opposite direction of this image but we don't get to see that shot ... so are there more (different) species, in each of those silos? ... brightened up a tad again for more detail ...

I think the one that is labled number two in the above photo is hardest to see. But a help might be to count the circular wall which surround the silos - seems clear to me there are five. Also, I like this term silo better than temple - I don't see much spiritual happening inside them!

So I think it adds up to six then? Atleast I believe this view is from top of the one silo they are shown to be driving towards. Maybe there are others behind that one too? Very nice find you have made!

What do you reckon then ... that circular bit could be the outline for the opening where the Derelict ship(s) pops out? ...

Yes I believe the circular area is the Derelict hangar. In one of the recent traillers there is a glimpse of the derelict start flighting above the temples. I think the "Prometheus" lands before the circular area, then the Derelict get´s out of the hangar and start its flight above the temples, then Prometheus go after it and crashes with the Derelict. What I don´t understand is how the Derelict seems to fall near the place where Vickers and Shaw are. In that scene Shaw must be near the circular area _ we see her jumping between the hangar "petals" when they open apart. And we believe Vickers is in the scape pod, that seems to fly to a different place. Maybe the Derelict is very damaged after the collision but not totally incapable of flight, and try to return to the hangar...then it falls over Vickers and Shaw. Do you agree?

Yes could well be, if so you have to look at the Trailer and the Hanger that Opens is close to the Temple. We cant see that Temple in that picture you posted unless its around the corner at the end. which then points to the place being littered with Hangers.

I bet at least some of you have read Alien comics? Do the silo's look like Alien hives, or is it just me? By the way, nice catch!

@couchjockey ... Well after posting about the Heiroglyphics on another thread ...

Hieroglyphic Structure Observation:
https://www.scified.com/topic/15081

... I'm going with the notion that the Silos belong to the 'same' people (jockeys?) who own the Derelict, because the markings are exactly the same in both places, inside the Derelict and inside the Silos ... the only different markings (I see so far) are on the Ampules (pods) themselves ...

Can we say there is a derelict-type ship underneath each one of the circular temples? To me it's no coincidence the temples are shaped exactly like the derelict ships. So; A ship beneath each temple? thoughts?
