Ola,

Essa curiosidade de saber quem é esse deus está me matando mais acho que é o Sobek mesmo.
Mais acho que essa é uma duvida que só pode ser tirada com os episódios que vem a seguir.

Brasil 2016. É nois!

Also on the whole Sobek/ Tawaret debate, Crocs don’t have ears, the lost statue does. Also Tawaret was married to the original god of evil/chaos and was seen as a protector because she restrained or _contained_ evil, a recent theme in the Richard episode.

Jacob in the Bible had a twin brother Esau. At birth Esau stuck a leg out first and they tied a string to it to mark the first born. Jacob dragged him back in however and was actually first born. Esau also sold his birthright to Jacob for a pot of stew and Jacob stole Esau’s blessing from their father on his death bed.

Does the Jacob in this story seem even remotely like that?

Biblical Jacob also worked for Laban in order to marry Rachel, who they switched for Leah and he then had to work another seven (I think) years to get Rachel as well. Jacob wrestled an angel in order to gain its blessing and was later called Israel and his twelve sons Are from where the twelve tribes of Israel come.

I think it is not _this_ Jacob who is on the island with the man in black and the man in black is definitely not Esau.

Initially I thought it was Sobek too. The story and the image certainly looks more accurate. Nevertheless, there are numerous official websites that say the statue is definitely Taweret. If you still don’t believe me, a 2009 Wired magazine issue featured a Lost puzzle which was constructed by JJ Abrahms, producer of Lost, and eventually decoded into “The four-toed Statue is Tawaret”.

If you look at all the features there is no doubt it’s Sobek. Sobek has the body of a man, as does Losts statue. Tawerek has the body of a hippo and legs of a lion/cat. Both gods carry the anhk, though Sobek usually 1 anhk. But that is a minor point, the basic configuration is what matters Body of Man head of Crocodile.

Sobek was said to be the pharaohs protector against the dark magic. He is also said to be the son of Set (Seth-God of War & Chaos) so if Jacob is Sobek, this would make him the cousin of Horus because Horus was the son of Osiris and Isis, Isis being Seth’s sister. Important to note Seth and nephew Horus hated each other because Seth killed Osiris -Horus’s father. If Jacob is Sobek and evil like Set, then is Smoke monster Horus and Good locked in battling like their fathers before them. A story that has been repeated throughout the ages: Bible ref- Cain and Able.

Sobek was supposed to have assisted Isis with the birth of Horus – not sure where this fits in? or relevant even?

In my opinion, I’m lead to believe it is Sobek because Jacob is weaving the eye which is suppose represent Horus in his tapestry, and Sobek and Horus have a close history. Now here’s a fun image! http://www.padfield.com/egypt/gods/images/sobek-and-horus.jpg AND some info on Sobek. http://www.ancientegyptonline.co.uk/sobek.html

I read the debate you have of Which Good it is. I have done some serching and found out that Taweret often is pictured with Sorbek at her back. The meaning of this was to show the link between the two Goods. …
