Okay so as far I know that ‘lost’ love to link all their characters and surrounding environments to some real life event or a specific historic figure or multiple symbolic representations of things linked to our worlds history and religions whether it be fact or fiction.
One of the main themes, as there are many when it comes to Lost is the Egyptian mythology around the island which I cant help going back too…
When Locke came back in the picture Richard was very uneasy, recognising Locke as ‘being different’ because what Richard was really doing was staring at a spirit he somehow recognised perhaps his old enemy APEP or Losts version of APEP who has the ability to take on other peoples forms, well dead ones that is…as we have seen through out the series…and especially with Lock still being DEAD.
So who is APEP? (or better known as Apophis),well I think its Lost’s version of the smoke monster? Okay not necessary the exact APEP but something similar in character and spirit otherwise I might as well just watch a program on Egyptian mythology and not Lost
So why do I say this, Well …the Egyptian APEP is defined as Water Snake --Ben summoned Smokey by pulling some ‘plug thing’ in a puddle of water and mud – so although Smokey is not a snake but a cloudy smoke it has the characteristics of a snake like form , APEP is evil and is a Demon of Chaos or destroyer and is feared by all -we have seen Smokey’s aftermath left in the jungle, APEP devours souls and lives in the underworld – Smokey lives in holes in the earth and loves to drag people into it. He has also been found under the temple. Most importantly APEP is a huge Enemy of Ra. –Richard Alpert? An ancient battle revived?
So does that mean Richard Alpert is Losts version of RA well it would explain a lot of things with regards to him being timeless as to why he never ages either (that or he has a good supply of botox and anti aging cream stashed somewhere)He seems to also have a knowledge of things which is why Ben refered to him as being an 'Adviser' His initials do after all represent RA but who says we have to limit him to one specific person/ character or spirit after all his name is Richard Alpert who is somebody else entirely different from RA and as this is Lost we speaking about, so anything is possible.
So I believe that – Losts version of APEP / at the moment ‘Locke’ - is the smoke monster….which is linked to the BIG bad guy- Jacobs enemy
However one could also say that the monster has done good too almost like a protector of some sort as it seems to judge and destroy evil like it did when Ben summoned it to destroy the freighter people so either that was a coincidence or we have two forms of monsters on the island or should I say two spirits fighting to use old Smokey’s body? maybe?
Perhaps Anubis? The Egyptian Anubis was the original god of the dead a very ancient god also referred to as the gatekeeper and protector of the underworld leading the good souls to the afterlife – he also judged the heart and soul of characters, destroying the evil ones…
He definatley forms part of the puzzle as there was reference to him under the temple in the form of hieroglyphics and there is also a Statue that is of Anubis as far as I can tell and its where Jacob resides or resided…. I am not saying Jacob is Losts version of Anubis either I really feel that Losts characters are a combination of many different identities some more than others and there are many different ‘wars’ going on -on all levels --who Jacob is / or was I do not know but he seems to be the good guy- but that’s another theory.
so is its – RA vs APEP or APEP vs ANUBIS or simply the ancient battle of GOOD Vs EVIL which has been going on for thousands of years...my guess is GOOD vs EVIL
I also read that in Egyptian mythology gods who are sent to the underworld are kept there by "legal loopholes" in the laws of the gods. Could this be similar to what Jacob and his enemy the dude in the black shirt where referring to …….or something similar but done the Lost way…?
Sorry if this topic is done before or its not quiet a theory but more an observation …..Its my first so be gentle… or what the hell rip me apart....
