another riddle?
what if the question ‘what lies in the shadow of the statue’ is actually another riddle telling us that whatever lives in the shadow of the statue is not to be believed (tells lies..) and seeing as Jacob seems to live in the shadow of the statue. Maybe Jacob is not to be trusted or maybe that it only appears to be Jacob.

You know…I actually thought that for a second, then heard it said in another post but was exaggerated too much to believe…
But put into simpler terms…anything is possible on Lost…
regardless, nice shot, and although we know know the answer, I actually hope that is the true meaning of the question…
