More new Images

@ShinobiX9X, I think it's all got to be a trap, we are cattle for the Engineers....... their reproduction must be similar to the Xeno - they need our bodies to live - the Xeno IMO is created through a pure chance of the fact that Holloway is going through the initial changes and gets 'jiggy' with an uninfected Shaw, the baby is the progenitor to the Xeno - attacking the Engineer that pilots the ship and whatever comes out ceates / lays all of the eggs.....

@Kane I can see what you mean now. That would make a bit of sense, but then there are no legs and the head would be at the far left, in the darkness. All in all the squatting option seems to be more likely, with the left elbow being symmetric to the right one, the "ribcage" being just a feature over the shoulder and that thing you describe as the left arm being some sort of shoulder bone like we see on the original Giger's Alien.

@Nox ... Nice eye mate ... You guys sure that's not Weyland and his dog? ... :$ ... ;) ... Jokes aside ... it's looking more like David the more I look at it ... but how? ... I have no idea ... could even be Holloway? ...

@NoxWord - I looked closer at the Gigers Alien life cycle and compared it to the mural wall and I now think it is without doubt the same background! - [img]http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/5968/gigersalienlifecyclevsp.png[/img] Again, GREAT eye my friend.

GIGER IS BACK! Or someone ripped him off...

LOL!

Ok ... so we may have an animated Mural of a life cycle of 'something' ... not necessarily the Xeno at this point? ... or is it just a tease? ...

What I really think (I have posted it already somewhere else), is that Ridley Scott has been waiting all these years not just to get back to sci-fi and answer some questions, but to use all the ideas, visuals and material he had ready for Alien, but that couldn't be put in the movie because of limited budget. What happened on the Nostromo was developed and filmed, everything else (on LV-426) was dramatically reduced. So he was looking for a good story to resume everything. And because the Alien was on the Nostromo, and got under the spotlights already, it is not going to appear in Prometheus. That's why we see all this stuff from early scripts and preliminary sketches.

There are several possibilities: 1- The life cycle may be part of the so-called "Alien DNA" that only the eagle-eyed fans may notice, as well as Easter eggs. 2-Another possibility is that new monsters or even the Space Jockeys have a life cycle similar to a Xenomorph only this time a smaller scale (with parasites or microscopic worm) as the words of David: Great things have small beginnings. By the way @NoXWord nice eagle eye

The croucher looks like what Fifield becomes. BTW, are there no 'females' in this species of Engineer?

Interesting... The "creature" at the feet of the "Blue Meanie" is basically a dead ringer for the HEADLESS JOCKEY is it not?.. And I guess this image DOES CONFIRM that we are in fact dealing with at least 2 distinct lifeforms... 1 Master and 1 Subserviant or Slave? The "artwork" if you will almost appears to be depicting a scene of a "fall from grace", and it appears that the large being is basically powerless in relation to the humanoid? [img]http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8058/prometheusi.jpg[/img] Just to refresh everyone... Here is the head from the huge corpse the team come across. Does everyone still think this is a "helmet".... [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwnsasSzBB1qmz9r9o1_400.png[/img]

In the trailer, Shaw is staring at these images and remarks "they're changing" 1. The paintings are changing? 2. The figures in them are changing? and she's crying.... I have often thought why is that. Is it because she's seen the true meaning of these and the earth paintings. I agree it's very all very similar to Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel, although it would have more in common with "the Last Judgement" than "The Creation of Adam". In the picture showing the 3D hologram of the temple, we can see the centre chamber is this room, showing the column, and from it rises the shaft to upper levels, which appear to spiral out. based on the scale of this room, those spiral levels must be huge.

Could the [ manlike ] being be holding back the beast/alien from attacking him or perhaps blessing him, even showing his dominance?

Is the Xenomorph mural next to this one? I think I can see the edge of it to the far right. Or maybe this mural turns into the xeno mural towards the end of the film?

There seems to be a familiar pattern on the humanoid's legs. And look at its protruding eyebrows, just like the large head from the ampule room. Space jockey?

Haha! So those are the murals Giger has been creating? They look fantastic. [i]"I brought him in, I showed him what we were doing, showed him the story and he liked it a lot. So he's doing a little bit of work for me. He's been doing some murals, big murals, which we'll see in almost one of the first chambers we encounter when we land where we're gonna go."[/i] [url=http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=85253]SOURCE.[/url]

@Canadaphil, could be a "living" helmet turning into some kinds of facehugger after someone messes up that place?

And is that a split or tear or something in the persons side?

@ mark: i just think it's an old painting detoriating @frantz: what do you mean?

a question ..the image is the final stage of the changing ? or is the start ? .... "changing into what ?" ....
