These are the dumbest theories I have ever heard. The entire main plot line has already been given away. If you really still care dont read this. The four toed statue is of Isis, the wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus(the Egyptian Jesus). When Horus was a baby his mother took him to a magical hidden island to protect him from his uncle seth, who had murdered his father. The island is protected by Anubis, the Egyptian god of judgment and the underworld(his hieroglyph was on the wall, calling the monster, when Ben was judged). And the cherry on top. Horus was crippled as a boy then miraculously healed, died and rose again after 3 days, and had a line/scar under his right eye(image search the eye of Horus and you will see). Last week when Jack was cleaning the class room there was a time line of ancient Egypt. Long story short, John is Horus reincarnated and is here to save everyone. I think Richard might be an ancient Egyptian left to protect the island. There it is. Hope I didn’t burst your bubble!

Have you forgotten that the portal from the island opens into the Saharan desert? It’s not that far of a stretch to think at some point it was the other way around…

Granted Tunisia is not ‘nearby’ per se to where the Egyptian civilisation was centered, but you say the island is not part of the African continent yet it has many ties to Africa. The portal, the nigerians (eko and yemi) both winding up there, the egyptian hieroglyphics, the black rock ship setting sail with slaves (possibly from Mozambique, per john locke)…

So as the island moved about in space, the indigenous people left their island and cultivated their culture around the globe.

Didn’t have time to read through all comments, so I don’t know if this has been said, but from this picture, would the squiggly line (smokey) be considered in the shadow of the statue? I know some are thinking Iliana and her beach crew may have been infected by Smokey like Rousseau’s people were. This could be a hint toward that.

Yep, makes sense to me. The experiences the ancient people had on the island may have been what made them so mystical about death and caused them to develop all those rituals, lore, and idols/gods when they got to Egypt. There is no way that there is not a connection between the folks who lived on the island and Egypt. Things are too similar. Ancient Greeks, Sumarians, Mayans, etc.. were pretty advanced as well but their buildings, language, and so on were different.
And frankly, I don’t mind if there is a connection w/ Egypt, it’s still really cool. The writers at “Lost” have to still make the show relatable to “regular” viewers (like most of the people I know on a daily basis who watch the show) who don’t get into the mysticism of the show and the “regular viewers” will get ancient Egypt.

It absolutely makes sense with the preganacy issues on the island and what Tawaret represents, maybe with a “Lost” twist it is more humanoid then animal like. nice call ,imo.

This is totally in line with my thought that the island is a remnant of Mu. The survivors of the sinking of that lost continent suppossedly set up shop in Egypt, India, South America etc.

[...] been better off using the jackal-headed god of the afterlife Anubis (seen kneeling in the hieroglyphics before the smoke monster in “Dead Is Dead.”) What’s particularly serendipitous [...]

Maybe these ruins, temples, etchings, etc ARE from peoples we now call Egyptians BUT they pre-date known Eqyptian civilization? As in pre 6000 b.c. or so. Could the folks that were on the island have built all this stuff, developed all this culture, language and then left? Traveled to northern Africa and set up shop. Maybe there was a much, much earlier “incident” and it was responsible for blowing the statue in two and causing the ancient people to leave in fear. I’m obviously just totally speculating, but it’s a lot of fun.

Who is Thoth…could that mean ‘Hoth’ like the next epi?

Does that mean that Vincent is Jacob or smokey?

i didnt realize the compass depiction…thank you for pointing that possibility out. I just narrowmindedly assumed the wheel. Gotta look outside the magic box,I guess.

the screen shot shows smokey/ammit being summoned by Anubis. the devourer of the dead takes orders from the lord of the dead, not the other way around. there is no conflict between them, since Ammit is a manifestation of Anubis…there is a wheel-like glyph, though, in the left-hand side, as well as an upside-down ankh on the right-hand side. which means anubis can send you to eternal death (the opposite of eternal life) and suggests smokey guards the FDW, or at least the FDW was known to the temple builders/acolytes.

Also, I agree in part with what Johnburger was saying. Not that it’s not going to have anything to do with Egyptians, but everyone should not be so sure that it has everything to do with Egyptians. As far as where I was going with what I said in my reply above, I would like to add this:I am also not implying anything about aliens or the myth of Atlantis as being a possibility. In fact I would be highly disappointed if aliens, Atlantis, or simply Egypt turned out to be the resolution to the mystery of the original island inhabitants. I’m looking(and hoping) for something completely unexpected. We just have to wait and see…

I know where Egypt is. Don’t be an asshat. It’s not neccesary. Last time I checked, this fictional island is not part of that continent and the clues left by the ancient inhabitants are not exactly Egyptian. I am no historian, but from reading information posted by other( smarter ) people than myself over the past few weeks, the influences can be traced to many cultures from different continents, not solely Egyptian. Sure, it seems that that culture has the most influence on the style of the ancient ruins, but I like to think of it in a different way. What if it’s the other way around? What if the original inhabitants of the island were somehow older than the African, Asian and South American cultures that many claim to be the influences on them? What if these cultures and their arcitechture and languages were influenced by them instead? I’m just sayin’. I refrain from being sure that I know what the writers have in mind.

What does that have anything to do with the sewer question? Also, I wish I could be as sure of the intentions of the writers as you are. Do you know them or something? Can I get their digits?

from that entry:
“Churchward claimed that Mu was the common origin of the great civilizations of Egypt, Greece, Central America, India, Burma and others, including Easter Island, and was in particular the source of ancient megalithic architecture. As evidence for his claims, he pointed to symbols from throughout the world, in which he saw common themes of birds, the relation of the Earth and the sky, and especially the Sun. Churchward claims the king of Mu was Ra and he relates this to the Egyptian god of the sun, Ra, and the Rapanui word for Sun, ra’a, which he incorrectly spells “raa.”[7]: p. 48 He claimed to have found symbols of the Sun in “Egypt, Babylonia, Peru and all ancient lands and countries – it was a universal symbol.””

the (lost_continent) part is part of the actual address, don’t know why it didn’t link it all.
