PROMETHEUS - Epic High Res Image of Space Craft

PhotosMovie Prometheus by Joey Paur

Here's a great new high resolution image featuring a space craft from Ridley Scott's Prometheus. The image was revealed through the viral marketing campaign that was launched for the movie. 

I don't know how people find time to figure these things out, but to gain access to the image, users figured out that if they added the word 'Eridu' to the URL, such as ProjectPrometheus.com/Eridu, and then type in "tell abu shahrain" as the password, you will get the image above. 

So what does Eridu even mean? According to Wikipedia"Eridu is an ancient Sumerian city in what is now Tell Abu Shahrain, Dhi Qar Governorate, Iraq. Eridu was considered the earliest city in southern Mesopotamia, and is one of the oldest cities in the world. Located 12 km southwest of Ur, Eridu was the southernmost of a conglomeration of Sumerian cities that grew about temples, almost in sight of one another. In Sumerian mythology, Eridu was originally the home of Enki, who was considered to have founded the city, later known by the Akkadians as Ea. His temple was called E-Abzu, as Enki was believed to live in Abzu ("Deep Ocean"), an aquifer from which all life was believed to stem."

I have no idea what this has to do with the movie, but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. Make sure to click on the image to enlarge! You can watch the epically awesome trailer for the film here if you haven't seen it yet, or just want to watch it again.
