Lost - Season 5

[Hurmoth]

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?

Its obvious. They aren't going to keep the characters apart forever.

So I guess its Anubis...

[Massiveterra]

So I guess its Anubis...

I still don't buy it. It's still speculation.

[Rappy Veteran]

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

[episode]

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.

[Pretend]

I think the statue is Anubis holding the Ankh... everything makes me believe it. Hieroglyphs on the countdown timer, near the Frozen Wheel and The Temple. Egypt and Christianity are have a lot of references but that being said, it's Lost, anything can happen.

I am so gonna be watching this attentively! :laugh:

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

[episode]

Come on. Its the same one.

[Rappy Veteran]

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.

[Pretend]

Is it just me that gets a little annoyed when people you know try talk to you about Lost, even though they've never watched it? :/ :laugh:

[sim0n]

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.

[Rappy Veteran]

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...

[sim0n]

:sleep:

[episode]

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.

[Pretend]

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.

[episode]

^ Right, but none of those prove its Anubis over any other Egyptian deity, besides the 'underworld' hieroglyphs.

[Rappy Veteran]

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.

[ATGC]

When Colleen was put on the raft and was set to burn by her husband, everyone was wearing white robes. Any significance to Egyptians customs for the burial of the dead?

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