In the south, near Aswan, the Nile opens up into a lake and there are several small islands. This marked the southern border of Egypt and many temples were built on the islands.

So well written, not sure how anyone who watches the show could disagree that the show is based in Egyptian culture and ideas in some part. I feel like I should read this several times to figure out how all the pieces relate into what I've watched on the show but ... If we base lost on what you wrote, those that have past the test, aren't attacked by the Smoke Monster, in which case they are allowed passage ... to the ominous Jacob cabin? Everyone still on the island hasn't finished passing the tests, and has yet to fail any. The place truly sounds like "death" in some form. Wow.
