There are some depcitions in which she is holding ankhs (I'm certainly no Egyptology expert), like this one: http://www.zw1840.com/egypt/god/animal.htm Look at the last image on the page. She also apparently does often bare her teeth, and is often depicted with an elongated snout. And she often has that tiny little crown as our statue does. And the ears do kind of look more like a hippo's ears than a crocodile's ears. : D Who knows? Actually, maybe it IS Taweret.

(As I hope it's not another Libby-type of situation.)

This website is great i'm a first timer here.lost4life that is the pic i was talking about, do you agree its similar to the smoke monster hieroglyph in the temple where it judged Ben? tqbrady i would have to change my initial theory and agree with yours, the description of Sobek makes a lot more sense with the 'goings on' on the island and also what Jacob is doing. He wasnt actually doing anything inthe finaleto kate, Sawyer etc he just met them and 'nudged them along'. I also think another big point being missed is the fact Jacob gives choice. maybe this is something to do with humans having free will? He said to Ben and Hurley 'they had a choice', he even said to Hurley 'you don't have to do anything you don't want to'. What could this all mean? Maybe he is a God and cant directly influence people, if this ruleis true then it would explain why the adversary needed a human to kill Jacob, TADA you have your loophole! So damn interesting and we have so long to speculate haha! Hi everyone, great response so far!

Sobek has a head of a crocodile. They are rival gods. If you look at any picture of Sobek it is 100% the same statue on LOST. They used to the exact same depiction down to the last detail. ABC must have messed up their description. Anubis has the head of a dog. Sobek has a head of a crocodile. They are rival gods. If you look at any picture of Sobek it is 100% the same statue on LOST.

Mythology suggests these were held by Anubis, god of the dead. http://mythsoftheworld.net/egypt/images/anubis1big.jpg The head does indeed seem to resemble Tarawet, but as Thorn has pointed out, the statue is holding something.

She wasn't holding an ankh in the pictures I've seen, but the statue in Lost was. Plus the statue in Lost looks more like Anubis. I’m pretty sure the statue wasn’t Tawaret.

I agree with you in part but since Jacob lives in the foot it makes sense to me that he is Apep wanting to be close to his mate. Evil is charming and tricks others into trusting him. Even though he spoke kind words to most of our losties (but not Ben), his actions could be construed as promoting the negative events in their lives. Thanks for the info about Tawerete.
