Here are some interesting facts about Egyptian afterlife:
It was believed that in death, as in life, man was in constant need of his faithful companion, the dog.(Vincent)
Anubis would protect the dead. The statue looks like a combination of Anubis and Thawaret. Thawaret is the Godess of fertility. It was common for Egyptian dieties to be combined with each other over time. I think that it is completely believable that the people on the island could have combined these too. I also would be suprised if the statue is Ra.

"It was believed that in death, as in life, man was in constant need of his faithful companion"
ReplyDeleteI excluded Vincent specifically to point out that there has been a theme of companionship. All of the characters are trying to find companionship. Some find them and then are murdered (Sayid), some have them die of an aneurysm (Locke) and some can't decide between Jack and Sawyer (Kate... jeez Kate, quit messing with their heads)
Just throwing that out there
Nice addition and you are correct. I am also going to predict here where no one will read it that we have seen the last of the 4 toed statue.
ReplyDeleteYou think that's the last we've seen of it?
ReplyDeleteI'll say it's the last we've seen of it in it's own timeline, but maybe in texts or pictures... or RICHARD ALPERTS FLASHBACK TO WHEN HE WAS THE CAPTAIN OF THE BLACK ROCK!!! ZOMG!!!!
You mean back when Richard was Jack Sparrow?
