Alien human hybrid mountain

yeah i noticed it too. i think back of its head was long just like a xeno but i'm not sure about it. gotta watch it again

I'll be going to see Prometheus at least once or twice more once it's out on the 8th to get a better look. But for sure those other "Temples" need to be discussed more. I think they will play a vital role in the next film.

Thats interesting, although I saw it more as a pure human skull/head and thought it might be to show that base was focused on the humans on earth. We know there were several other bases and perhaps each base was a bio-lab for a certain planet. When David opened the starmap we saw that earth was connected with about six other planets and these might be the other worlds where the engineers were experimenting? Anyway earth was the destination the awakened engineer set off too so thats what I think the head resembled. Simply just as a way too mark the base for its research purpose

Yeah the one I'm talking about is just part of the landscape not one of the dome base things looks like (is it mount rushmore? Sorry I'm english but just one face) its definitely more alien hybrid than pure human was just an odd thing I spotted lol

I took it to be a kind of homage to Gigers work on Jodorowskys Dune. He did a series of painting of the Harkonnen Castle 1975-76. http://www.duneinfo.com/unseen/hr-giger.aspx Lots of little easter eggs in this film I think.
