New Image Found on Project Prometheus Website (Update: Second Image Found!) Dan Koelsch, March 21, 2012March 21, 2012 A new subpage to the Project Prometheus website was recently found, titled Eridu.

Check it out after the break. The photo is of the spaceship featured in the film. The Prometheus Twitter page has been helping followers with the puzzle, giving the clue #Eridu earlier today. We still haven’t found an access code for the original Project Prometheus subpage, and there may be more pages for us to find.Click here for all our coverage of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, which opens June 8th in IMAX 3D.* * * * * * UPDATE: It looks like the first clue for “Eridu” originally came from the answer to a bit of French spoken on the Weyland phone message.* * * * * * UPDATE 2: The password for the original Project Prometheus link /245409 has been found, and it reveals another new image, shown below.
