There are ruins on the Island, many with hieroglyphs. In \"Live Together, Die Alone\", while at sea, Sayid, Jin, and Sun sight the remnants of a massive statue standing upon a rock in the surf. All that is left is a large, four-toed marble foot broken off at the ankle. Sayid remarks that he does not know which is more disquieting: the fact that the rest of the statue is missing, or that the foot has only four toes. It has been compared to the Colossus of Rhodes.[2] The full statue, viewed from the back, appears from a distance in the fifth-season episode \"LaFleur\". The statue seen from behind has lion-like ears, a crown on the head, long hair, an ankh in each hand, and ancient Egyptian dress. The statue is named Taweret,[3] the Egyptian god of fertility and life.
Further ruins are revealed in \"The Brig\" when the Others tie Locke's father to the broken base of a large, stone column. Toward the end of the third season, Ben tells Richard to continue leading the rest of the Others to the Temple, and in \"Meet Kevin Johnson\" he sends Alex, Karl, and Rousseau to the same location. His map marks it with a Dharma Initiative symbol, but the Temple has also been mentioned as something the Monster is in place to protect[clarification needed]. In addition, in \"The Shape of Things to Come\", after Alex is killed, Ben summons the Smoke Monster in a secret chamber hidden in his closet whose stone door contains hieroglyphics. In \"There's No Place Like Home Pt 3\", when Ben enters the Orchid Station, behind the official Dharma built station, he finds what appear to be ancient tombstones covered with unknown hieroglyphs on his way to the final room, where an ancient man-made wheel rests that is used to \"move the island\". The fifth-season episode \"This Place is Death\" shows a better view of what appears to be the Temple that Ben will one day order Richard to lead his people to. In this episode the temple is directly guarded by the Monster. In \"Whatever Happened, Happened\", Richard Alpert is seen taking a young Benjamin Linus inside the temple, as a means of healing a fatal gunshot wound. Alpert notes beforehand that Ben will emerge a fundamentally different person. It is revealed in \"Dead is Dead\" that the structure the viewers see is merely a wall concealing the temple and the actual temple itself is a mile away on the other side of the wall.
In the sixth-season episode \"Across the Sea\", young Jacob and his unnamed fraternal twin brother are shown a cave with a waterfall; in \"The End,\" Desmond descends into the cave and discovers an ancient chamber. In the chamber there is a pool of electromagnetic energy with a large hieroglyphic stone that sits at the center covering a mysterious hole. When it is removed by Desmond, the water and energy drain from the pool, an infernal red glow infuses the chamber, and the island begins to violently react. When Jack returns the stone, the water begins to flow into the pool again and the electromagnetic energy returns.
In the fourth-season episode \"The Constant\", it is revealed that freighter communications officer Minkowski and a crew member named Brandon tried to sneak off the boat to get a closer look at the Island. According to Minkowski, as they approached \"something happened\" to Brandon that caused them to turn back. Brandon died as a result of this attempt to approach the Island, and Minkowski suffered from temporal displacement (jumping between past and present in his mind) and, lacking a \"constant\" (some aspect of his life present in both times and to which he would have a strong emotional connection), died soon after.
The Island is home to a mysterious entity, consisting of a black mass accompanied by mechanical-like sounds and electrical activity within, dubbed the \"Smoke Monster\" or just the \"Monster\" by the survivors. The monster has been described by Lost producer Damon Lindelof as \"one of the biggest secrets\" of the mythology.[4] The producers have often hinted that the black cloud of smoke is not a monster in the traditional sense, nor is it a cloud of nanobots (as some fans have speculated).[5][6] The smoke monster is established as an antagonist in Lost from the very first episode, \"Pilot\".[7] The producers' initial plan was for the monster to represent the id, in a manner similar to the \"id monster\" from the 1956 film Forbidden Planet.[8] This idea was changed by the end of season one, when the character Danielle Rousseau describes the monster as a \"security system\" for the Island, specifically the ruins of the temple on the Island.[8][9] This plan was continued into season five, when Rousseau's husband, Robert, describes the monster as a security system that guards the island's temple.[10] It has been repeatedly described as a \"security system.\" It emerges from vents in the ground to attack people, though it does not always attack those it encounters. The Monster is capable of lifting a grown man, and in one instance tosses a man nearly fifty feet into the air. In another it wraps a tendril of smoke around a man's arm, severing it.
In the first episode of season 6, \"LA X\", it is revealed that the \"Locke\", with whom Ben is traveling back to the island, has become The Monster, an incarnation of Jacob's nemesis. It appears in the remains of the statue of Taweret and kills five people. One of the people manages to create a ring of ash around himself, temporarily hindering the smoke monster. The monster throws a rock at the man, knocking him out of the circle and making it possible for it to kill him. After the men are all dead, the smoke monster exits, and Jacob's nemesis, in the form of John Locke, immediately appears, stating that he is sorry that Ben had to see him \"like that\". It is later revealed that The Monster used to be a man whose only goal has been leaving the Island and \"going home\".[11][12] After claiming Sayid to his side, and giving the Others the chance to join him, he stormed the temple and massacred all those who did not comply.[13] In \"Recon\", he gave Sawyer a mission to investigate Hydra Island to see if the coast was clear for him and the Others to travel over there so they could take the Ajira plane and fly off the Island. Later in the episode, it tells Kate that he is sorry about Claire. He tells her that his own mother was crazy, just like Aaron's mother, Claire. In the final episode, he is rendered mortal again, along with Jack, the new protector of the island, when the electromagnetic source at the center of the island is disabled. Trapped in the form of John Locke, the Man in Black fights Jack on the cliffs, stabs him and almost kills him. Kate shoots the Man in Black in the back, and Jack kicks him off the cliff, killing the darkness before it could cross over on a boat to Hydra Island in order to escape the Island using the plane.
The numbers were first explicitly mentioned in the season one episode \"Numbers\". They were chosen by Lindelof, J. J. Abrams and David Fury, one of the writers of that episode.[8] Speaking in 2008, Fury remarked that \"your guesses are as good as mine\" as to what the numbers mean.[8] They are placed throughout the series for a kind of \"Easter egg hunt\". Sometimes DHARMA test rabbits can be seen that have identification numbers on them; at least twice, the 23rd rabbit has been seen. They can also be seen on items such as sports shirts and on the DHARMA interrogation room door, which is also designated \"23\". The plane that brought the castaways to the island for the first time was Oceanic 815. During the season 2 episode \"Man of Science, Man of Faith\", Jack is giving care to two people who have been in a car crash. After one of them dies, a voice is heard in the background saying, \"Time of death, 8:15 AM\".
In the season five episode \"Some Like It Hoth\", members of the DHARMA Initiative are shown as they are building the hatch which the survivors would later live in. As they are preparing to place the door on the hatch, a worker asks for the serial number to put on the door. Another worker responds by telling him the numbers, which are inscribed on the hatch door. These numbers are later seen by some of the survivors, including Hurley.
Prior to their arrival on the Island, both major and minor characters have crossed paths, often unknowingly, sometimes affecting each other's lives. These crossovers are revealed through characters' flashbacks, and are typically obvious only to viewers. Some intersections are quite noticeable, with different characters conversing with each other, but most often the characters are oblivious to these crossovers, which take the form of other characters' appearances on televisions or as glimpses in the background. The crossovers become more frequent in the final episodes of the first season, as all the characters approach each other before arriving at the airport, and finally board the airplane.
Whispers can be heard on the Island. They first appear at the end of the episode \"Solitary\",[22] and were originally intended to be the sound of the Others in the jungle.[8] This idea was changed, and, by the end of season six, it was established that they were the whispers of spirits of deceased people who had not yet \"moved on\" (or existed in a state of purgatory). Boone's whispers are heard on the Island after his death, talking about Shannon. Some characters to hear the Whispers were Juliet, Jack, Rousseau, Sawyer, Sayid, Hurley, Shannon and Michael on the freighter before he dies.
Walt has made appearances on the Island in places he could not have been (most notably to Shannon Rutherford in early episodes of season 2 and to John Locke in season 3); since Jacob's brother is unable to take on the form of the living, and since Walt isn't dead, the origin of this vision is unclear, although it may be related to Walt's special powers, which have been hinted at but never fully explained. Also, while Jacob's spirit was on the Island, Jacob as a child appeared before Hurley and physically took a bag from Hurley's hand, thus showing that he was actually physically present, and not just a spirit. 59ce067264
