I don't think the point is to make Jacob/MIB or any other character out to be Gods as it is to imply that they represent specific concepts like life or death.

We don't KNOW MIB is evil ... just rival of Horus. AND, we can't even be sure MIB/Jacob aren't reversed. Set was seen as having white skin and reddish hair I was leanin’ towards Apep bein’ smokie … and Osirus is still some kind of option. We don’t KNOW MIB is evil … just rival of Horus.

I have no doubt that there is more than a subtle egyptian vibe to the goings-on on the Island, but I have my reservations about Horus vs. Set. The presence of Horus wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, given the presence of the falcon (which I had totally forgotten about!) and, of course, creepy Dharma Horace. And the repetition of close-ups of eyes throughout the series lends some credence to Horus being significant. I suppose my biggest concern is with Set. He wasn't evil, and in fact was worshipped as the patron god of Upper Egypt. The rivalry between Set and Horus makes sense, but just so you know, Upper Egypt did end up conquering Lower Egypt. So Smokey wins? Seems like Smokey is a bit more evil that just a god of Chaos (or, specifically, necessary chaos). And this doesn't explain Set/Smokey's ability to assume the form of the dead. Could it be that we have, in fact, seen more than just these evidenced egyptian Gods? We have a confirmed Tawaret, and you make a very good argument for Horus' presence. Personally, I believe Smokey fits better as Apep, which would make Jacob Ra. But who else could be present? Someone should catalog every mythological reference we have seen so far. We might find some clues. Hmm… I have no doubt that there is more than a subtle egyptian vibe to the goings-on on the Island, but I have my reservations about Horus vs. Set.

After reading up on him, I'm absolutely convinced he has ties with the green falcon seen twice already in the series, which called out Hurley's name. Also, the infertility story is certainly significant, and the bit about the eye. Excellent catch! waycurious, you’re definitely on to something with Horus.

I have read many theories on who the statue is/isn't, but this would make the most sense, for the reasons you stated! Nice work! waycurious, I think if we are going to subscribe in the whole ‘ancient mythology’ idea, this would make the most sense to me.
