Four-Toed Statue
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2009 2:32 pm
We finally got more on the four-toed statue. We see that it's carrying two ankhs, one in each hand. An ankh is the Egyptian hieroglyphic for eternal life. According to Wikipedia, Egyptian gods are often portrayed carrying it by the loop (just as we saw the statue).
It would seem that the statue is that of an Egyptian god. Looking around at different Egyptian gods, my first guess is that it is the god Anubis.

We also see later in the episode that Paul wears an ankh around his neck and it's the ankh that starts the fight between Horace and Amy in the first place. Was Paul originally a hostile that switched sides? Is that why he was killed? Is that why the hostiles want his body?
