Ya I was also kind of confused about when people were on the island, and still am..That doesn’t take away from the story though, it’s a cool mystery left unverified that we can guess at. Even without the cuneiform script, it’s got to be true that people were on the island before Mother’s time, simply because the corked pool is obviously man-made (unless no cork pool when MIB fell in, unlikely..) And there had to be people after Mother and MIB died because the FDW was constructed. What’s really interesting is that there is also cuneiform on that column in the the FDW chamber, which means Egyptians were there afterward too.. Also 4 toe statue, definitely Egyptian, and that wasn’t built until after Mother (I’m assuming because we didn’t see).. I’m coming up with a very cool unique theory as I’m writing this; the Egyptians could have came after Mother and helped MIB build the FDW.. Egyptians “moved” the Island which also sent them back in time, then they could have been the ones to build the corked pool, in the past,,before they even originally came to island! Thanks again for your thoughts on this..

sorry for the mistake
