In 1979's Alien the Nostromo picked up a "beacon" being emitted by an Engineer Juggernaut on the surface of the moon Acheron LV-426 - date June 3rd 2122. 2179 is when Ripley was rescued after spending 57 years in hypersleep.
In 2004's AVP, A Weyland Industries expidition discovers an ancient pyramid beneath Bouvetoya Island near Antarctica, witin which was a crogenically frozen Queen Xenomorph - date October 10th 2004.
In Alien the inference is that the Juggernaut, filled with a cargo hold full of Alien eggs, has been there for a few thousand years (2,000 - 4,000 years according to Ridley Scott), whereas the Queen has been frozen in Antarctica for much longer (around 10,000). What AVP is postulating is that the derelict Juggernaut on LV-426, is probabl not the only vessel carrying Alien eggs, and that these ships aren't the only places to find these eggs.
Of course man fans consider the AVP movies to NOT be part of the same "cinematic universe" of the Alien movies, and the studio 20th Century Fox will never confirm nor deny the two movies connection to the Alien "cinematic universe".
