[edit] Summary

According to the book "The Book of Alien" (Titan Books © 1979), in a very early draft of the script, the eggs were originally meant to be housed in a completely separate architectural structure, shaped in the form of a massive pyramid. After the away team returns from the Derelict, they discover a huge pyramid further on. They go there to explore it. Scaling it, they find the entrance at the top and a volunteer is lowered into it. These illustrations of the sequence were done by British illustrator and science fiction artist Chris Foss.
