In this second installment of the season 5 flashbacks, I explore episodes 6-10 and dive into some excellent mythology and character episodes. Season 5 is shaping up to be quite the season, and the rewatch is making that more and more apparent with each episode. Send in your season 5 favs to lost@donaldislost.com or call 206-984-1289.

8/13/2009 Update
The Official Lost magazine published this picture of the official model for the statue, sculpted by Jim Van Houten. The model was used as a reference when creating the CGI version of the statue as shown in “The Incident, Parts 1 & 2.”
Older updates on statue….
The Ankh was the Egyptian Hieroglyphic character that read eternal life LATIN for “cross with a handle”.
Another possibility is Tawaret, in Egyptian history, she was seen as a deity of protection in pregnancy and Pregnant women wore amulets with her name or likeness to protect their pregnancies. Her image could also be found on knives made from hippopotamus ivory, which would be used as wands in rituals to drive evil spirits away from mothers and children.
So it appears Annubis is out of the question the statue appears to be more of a tawaret adaptation with some characteristics of other Egyptian Gods. Most noticeable is that Tawaret is depicted as pregnant female, which is still not out of the question because we have yet to see the front of our good old statue. Recently Sobek has been brought to my attention which is also a possibility at this time. Sobek is often depicted with a huge headdress though.
Now If we can take this cloth as an actual depiction of the side of the statue, then Sobek appears to be the likely choice, but I can still can’t ignore the fact that Sobek carries a long staff while Tawaret carries two Ankhs, just like shown in Lost. Sobek also wears a huge headdress while Tawarets head looks nearly exact to the four toed statue’s.
