What is the statue in Lost? (2023)

Why is there an Egyptian statue in Lost?

The statue is from a fictional ancient culture created for the show, or it's a fictional offshoot of a real culture (i.e. Egyptian). This ancient culture either influenced or was influenced by the Egyptian culture. Jacob and/or his Nemesis created this culture from people brought to the Island.

The Man in Black was a long-time inhabitant of the Island. He was once a normal man with dark hair and steely eyes, but an encounter with the Heart of the Island, brought on by his brother and enemy, changed him into the Smoke Monster, a living cloud of black smoke.

Eventually, the smoke monster is confirmed to be the Man in Black - an ancient inhabitant of the island that was cast into the Heart of the Island and lost his physical form.

A small island can be seen in background in ("Live Together, Die Alone"). While fans had dubbed the second island "Hydra Island" ever since Season 3, this name was not used canonically within the show until "Some Like It Hoth".

In its real form, the Smoke Monster was actually the mysterious Man in Black (Titus Welliver), who may or may not have been the first resident of the island. Audiences weren't given an explanation as to why the Smoke Monster made itself look like John Locke (Terry O'Quinn), even after killing him.

The skeletons are the remains of the Man in Black and his stepmother—the woman who raised him and Jacob after she delivered them and killed their biological mom.

The Black Rock was a fully-rigged 19th-century British trading ship that was found shipwrecked on the Island and overgrown by the jungle. The ship carried a cargo of slaves, dynamite, and other equipment intended for mining.

The Statue of Liberty is located in New York on Liberty Island. It is a statue of a woman holding a torch in her right hand and a tablet in her left hand with the date of the Declaration of Independence in Roman numerals: July 4, 1776.

Eventually, these characters are drawn together and begin to recall their time on the island, which leads to the final scene's revelation: they are actually dead in the flashsideways, which is essentially a netherworld the survivors created in order to congregate so they can move on together to “whatever comes next”.

Jacob, or God, appears benevolently in the survivors' off-Island lives, sometimes intervening to save their lives while at other times offering encouragement or reassurance.

What does the smoke monster want in Lost?

The Smoke Monster Protects The Island

Through some unknown means, the island was given or created itself a protector to guard it from outsiders and other possible threats. This protector became popularly known as the smoke monster.

Desmond killed Kelvin outside the station on September 22, 2004 and returned too late to push the button in a timely fashion. This triggered a system failure and released a massive magnetic surge that caused Flight 815 to break-up in mid-air and crash on the Island.

Jack did not become a monster

Jacob killed his brother and "fed" the smoke monster the body by accident. This gave the smoke a form to use so he could escape. Jacob's brother died, but the monster merely used his body. Jack killed the monster.

Although not depicted as a human character, the Monster is the typical unseen character during the entirety of Season 1: The Monster knocks down trees, and makes a mechanical-like noise, but is not seen by the survivors, or by the audience.

They represent what people in the Past chose to celebrate and memorialise, they do not represent history. Indeed, teaching history is almost never the reason why they are erected. Instead, statues in public spaces since Antiquity have most typically been used to represent power and authority.

Ralph Northam ordered the statue's removal last summer amid the nationwide protest movement that erupted after the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis.

Naming. The Unfinished Buddha is so-called because of its incomplete nature; the hands of the statue are not fully carved, the right arm is longer than the left and one of the shoulders is bigger than the other.

Polar bears were brought to the Island by the DHARMA Initiative, who kept them in cages at the Hydra station, on Hydra Island. (The World of the Others) According to Pierre Chang, because polar bears possess keen memory and adaptability instincts, they were prime candidates for studies in electromagnetic research.

Lost showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have explained the ending to fans at the PaleyFest in Los Angeles to mark the 10th anniversary of the show's premiere. The pair said the island was never purgatory, as widely believed.

The whispers are not random noises, but rather actual speech, and can be decoded using audio software. See the Whisper Transcripts for additional information. The majority of the whispers in the show are heard in the jungle.

Who was the devil in Lost?

Michael betrayed the other survivors.

Seth was killed and disfigured after being attacked by the Monster in ("Pilot, Part 1"). Seth was unconscious when he was found in the cockpit of Flight 815 the day after the crash, but woke up when Kate leaned over him. Jack gave him water, and Seth said he was dizzy.

Barbara Joanna Miller, known on the Island by her middle name, was a Flight 815 survivor who drowned on Day 6 while swimming in the ocean.
