A different foot question

[jimboroni]

Okay, so I've seen a lot of discussion lately concerning the giant four-toed foot. For most people, the big question is: "Why are there only four toes?" Well, I have a different question. From the image I've seen (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...nale-foot.jpg), it looks like this foot was part of a larger full-body statue thhat collapsed for some reason. But if this is true, shouldn't there be ruins on the beach? Where is the rest of this monument?

yeah the statue thing is just weird... who the hell knows hahah... it must have been pretty damn huge though, so it certainly didn't blow/float away it was knocked down somehow... and the pieces were removed... who knows how or why, let alone how it got there in the first place... i wonder if they will answer that in the third season... i'm guessing we won't hear mention of the statue foot again for a long time though... they might not even touch on it in the third season just because i think if they did, they'd have to answer a whole lot of other questions at the same time... maybe... i hope there's a really cool explanation for it, though i wonder if the others have four toes

unless it collapsed into the ocean centuries ago, and has eroded away

[kermit]

yeah could be... i hope they touch on it again soon, i'd at least like to see the other character's reactions to it

I'd laugh if the statue was of jacks or lockes or demounds girls farther? hehe maybe the 5th toe fell off?

i think the rest of it probably fell into the sea, or maybe the others knocked it into the , as to why it only had 4 toes god only knows but the statue did look fairly old (im guessin this because the sandle on the foot looked ancient greek/roman/eqyptian) so personally i think it means there has been life on the island for many many years

Haha... I doubt it.



Look at that. There's no way it "fell into the sea". If it did, it would have to be hundreds or thousands of years ago, or it'd still be visible.... don't you think? The statues knees wouldn't even be at the top of the screen... this thing is huge!

Great, I screwed up the page.

yeh, but it looks broken..... so wer wud the rest of the statue be??

oh and if it wasnt in the sea, then how come the right foot is so close the to the edge of the sea on the right side?? it looks like it broke off into the sea

i think his point was, so all that statue falls into the sea... it's not gonna float away, it's just gonna sit there... the water would take an IMMENSE amount of time to wear down stone like that... so basically, either the foot was placed there... the rest of the statue was carted away or used for other things (such as in concrete while constructing the hatches)... or it was buried. perhaps the island was once the peak of a mountain, back in pangaea (sp)... and the statue pieces are now where the foot of the mountain used to be, buried beneath all that silt and dirt and water.
