Long time theory lurker first time poster.
How did they get Jughead into the temple?
Why didn't they actually bury it?
I think in 1955 when the Others were told to bury the bomb they attempted to but also found an intricate tunnel system and a bunch of Egyptian crap. I think Daniel telling them to bury the bomb is what caused them to find the underground tunnel system which also might have helped them discover/unleash smokie.
The next part is a little far reaching but here goes....
Who is responsible for this underground system? The same people responsible for the statue. The clues are everywhere, that there is obviously ancient Egyptian influence on the island. I don't know exactly what happened on the island back in the day, but I know where the donkey wheel leads.....the Tunisian desert. Once you're there you only have to cross over Libya and BOOM you're right in the middle of Egypt. People could have come from the island and started Egyptian civilization.
Who are the Statue People?
They are the ones coming back to take control of the island in the name of their ancient ancestors.
What Lies in the Shadow of the Statue?
The underground Egyptian temple/tunnels/tomb/funhouse
