A quick question, do we know the exact year Ben (and his father) arrived to the Island ?

Lostpedia states: "Sometime in the 1970s, Roger took a job with the DHARMA Initiative, courtesy of the same couple that was present when his wife died."

So no, not the exact year unfortunately.

Well, we know that the FDW has to get turned at least once more, because the people currently in 1977 are not going to live the rest of their lives there.

Have I missed something, or is that speculation? I know the natural progression of the story line would suggest both groups re-uniting, but is there any proof that this is going to happen yet?

Yeah plus we have thought of 3 choices Anubis,Horus and some other one that my mind has forgotten.

Actually, it can't really be Horus. Horus is always shown with a bird head (no ears) and the statue clearly has ears.

Horus is also usually shown wearing what I would describe as a crown, which this statue doesn't have.

The other thing, the pregnant guy, doesn't have human feet.

That said, the picture above doesn't prove much. Most of the Egyptian deities are shown holding at least one Ankh at all times.

I'm not sure if it's been proven that the 4 toed statue is actually the same we've seen in LaFleur.

The size of the statue plus the location added to the fact its the only statue we have seen so far everythings adding up that it is.

Well that's the thing Rappy :) The location. If you wanted to look at the 4 toed for exactly behind and from the same distance as did Sawyer/Mile/Jin/Juliet, you must be somewhere in the middle of that mountain. here look:

Now, look how the other statue looked to them:

- they and the statue seem to be in the same level.

- therefore, no mountain behind that one.

A bonus, is that the color of the material used to "build" the 4toed is more of a white, and more of red in the other one.

I'm not saying that they ARE NOT the same. I'm just saying, there's more proof they're not the same that they are. IMO.

Yeah I see your point, the statue there could be new and over time stuff weathers plus the fact the island does move and the statue might of been on land...there's so much we need to know really...it look tho the statue is looking out over something...

Its possibly been thousands of years. Therefore the statue aged and the color washed out. Also, as you can tell from the sky, it seems to be dusk, which would tint everything pinkish.

If you look at the location of the Orchid and the statue on the lost map, it puts it exactly in the right place. May the elevation be a bit off? Yeah, but its the same statue.

Also, I don't think the Lost map is always right, in fact I think they have a lot of stuff too close together, but in this case they are more right than wrong.

I was reading Four-toed statue theories and I found "Evidence why it's Anubis"

* The Countdown in the hatch reads Underworld, Anubis Is the god of the underworld

* Looks like it has pointed ears and a headdress

* Looks like it could be holding an ankh in its right hand.

* The clothes it's wearing look like those that Anubis wears in common drawings.

* Hurley was drawing a sphinx, which is Egyptian, just before Jeremy Bentham came to visit him.(The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham)

* Tunisia (where "the exit" is) is awfully close to Egypt.

* The clothes resemble those of any Egyptian god and it looks as if the statue is holding ankhs in both hands.

* Paul's necklace was an ankh as well. (LaFleur)

* The statue looks like Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead and gatekeeper of the underworld from the Egyptian Old Kingdom period.

I have to agree with episode, also there are some things I don't agree with there like the pointy ears...I am not sold on that atm...I can see they are pointy but not as pointy as anubis but it could be the angle we are looking from.

Exactly. They aren't the huge, straight up ears like Anubis usually has, but they are definitely there, so therefore it isn't Horus.

That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
