Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
The answer must not be referring to Jacob then, because Jacob li[v]es in the statue's foot. Just joking. But no, not really. Who's going to "protect us" -- Jacob or Mr./Mrs Crocodile?
Also, "protect us" from whom? "Jacob's enemy"? The Crocodile Hunter?
Also, "protect" whom? We learned almost nothing about the statue tonight. I mean, who fucking built the thing? I want more LOST, damnit!

Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
I've also seen it translated as "He who will save us."
Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
contrivance, again. the question should be "who" not "what" lies in the shadow of the statue.
Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
Shouldn't it actually be, "who lives in the foot of the statue?"
or
"Who cooks fish to the right of the statue?"

"Who cooks fish to the right of the statue?"

I've been reading the translation: "What we all serve"

Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
Apparently it says...
"May the gods grant thee all that thy heart desires. May the gods grant thee happiness"
Pretty meaningless really.

I saw it as " May heaven grant you in all things your heart's desire." It's from The Odyssey.Perry wrote:Apparently it says...

Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
well with translation, that's pretty much the same thing.

The statue is the Egyptian God Sobek, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobek even though a lot of people have been saying it's Anubis. My roomate and I looked it up, and it definitely looks like Sobek, same crocodile head... just a thought, who knows if it matters.:)

Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
Fefe, I am on the Sobek boat too. Apparently there is a camp out there thinking it is a hippo headed god named Taweret, but I don't buy it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TaweretFeFeMartini wrote:The statue is the Egyptian God Sobek, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobek even though a lot of people have been saying it's Anubis.

Maybe not so meaningless? Joshmeister just blogged about this. Interesting...David3 wrote:I saw it as " May heaven grant you in all things your heart's desire." It's from The Odyssey.Perry wrote:Apparently it says...

Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
Paul, the first thing I thought of when reading that blog was "the magic box".
As far as the statue, I think Sobek fits the show better, but apparently Michael Emerson is on record that it's Tawaret.

Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
420, Michael Emerson apparently came up with Tawaret based on his own research, so I am not sure if i trust his conclusion as canon just yet. Apparently D&C referred to the statue as a male god (i think it was in a recent official podcast but can not remember). Tawaret is a female and Sobek is a male...420brownie wrote:Paul, the first thing I thought of when reading that blog was "the magic box".

Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
Paul, thanks for the clarification on that. I wasn't sure why Emerson thought that. I really think it's Sobek.

Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
looks more like sobek to me.. that and I refuse to be wrong :)
Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
Mmm I still stand by my statement that it's meaningless.
I mean sure it relates, but nothing new or interesting, seemingly.
And looks like the winner is Sobek. That mouth wasn"t Anubis.

Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
That's stupid.
The statue looks exactly like Sobek, not Taweret.
But it looks like ABC has "confirmed" that it's Taweret. Dunno if that's considered official, but it would seem so.
Makes sense with the whole fertility thing they've got going on.

Re: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
Just to clarify to C&J, it is Taweret, but that's the hippo who is the fertility god, not the crocodile. Dunno if you've corrected yourselves later in the podcast though.
