Originally Posted by tucker672 Ra – Richard Albert Ra was the almost universally-worshipped king of the gods and all-father of creation. Ra is the most central god of the Egyptian pantheon. He is the only god, apart from Osiris, who is definitely said to be not on the earth. Ra, it is said, is an aging god, still powerful, but too old to deal with his children any longer, so he has gone exclusively to the sky to watch over the world. My Comment: He is definitely an ageing God, just not physically. We see him frequently show up in the show, but does seem as if he watches over but does not interfere however he is still powerful and his authority never challenged, in the present at least. He is definitely not of this earth because of the entire phenomenon associated with him. Osiris – John Locke Throughout the height of Egyptian civilization, Osiris was the primary deity. In power, he was second only his father, Ra, and was the leader of the gods on earth. Osiris resided in the underworld as the lord of the dead, as after being killed by Set. My Comment: He definitely does listen and follow Richard and does do what he says. He now resides in the underworld because he was killed. Set – Ben Set was one of ancient Egypt's earliest gods, a god of chaos, confusion, storms, wind, the desert and foreign lands. He was a contender to the throne of Osiris and rival to Horus, but a companion to the sun god Ra. Originally worshiped and seen as an ambivalent being, during the Third Intermediate Period the people vilified him and turned him into a god of evil. But Seth is not an evil god: he is the god who committed the immoral and evil act of murdering his brother Osiris, but it was this vile act that allowed Osiris to fulfil his destiny and become the god of the dead. Without Seth, there would not have been life after death. My Comment: He does use Smokey to cause damage; also he does travel to and from the island. He does rival Horus as we have found out, and definitely wants to be leader over Locke, but as we have seen has always been a companion of Richard’s. Does appear as if people now view him as evil. He did kill Locke and fulfilled the destiny of sacrifice and rebirth. Horus – Horace The worship of Horus was brought from the outside by neighbouring tribes who invaded and then settled into Egypt. He was their god of war; he was the protector and guide to the pharaoh on earth. He also continual battles with Set. My Comment: Brought outside by Dharma Initiative, elevated as leader to fight the others (war). Battles with Ben but Ben and the others topple him. Also is a guide to John Locke when he shows him where the map is. Anubis – Jacob Anubis was the god to protect the dead and bring them to the afterlife. The distinctive black color of Anubis “with the black soil of the Nile valley, symbolizing rebirth." My Comment: Does seem to control the dead as we have seen with Jack’s dad and advising others. Ammit- Smokey Ammit is described as "The Devourer" patron of destruction of the souls of the wicked. Ammit sits beneath the Scales of Justice, waiting for the souls to be judged. If the soul is found to be more wicked than good, Anibus feeds it to Ammit. My Comment:This describes Smokey very well, also beneath the scales beneath the temple where Jacob previously resided. | ||

 I kind of want to get back into watching it again and catch up but it seems like such a daunting task now that there are so many episodes to catch up on. | ||

So what does killing the teenage Ben mean? Will the present Ben die instantly? Or can the teenage Ben never be killed since he had already lived to his present age in the original timeline? | ||

From my understanding of the Lost universe, teenage Ben can't be killed. Still wondering where the burning bus came from though. I figured they would show Sayid lighting Jin's bus up and sending it at the camp to distract Dharma while he got away, but it never happened. | ||

man sayid should've really shot him more than one time, go up close and shoot him in the head a couple of times to make sure he's dead or something. | ||

I'm with zulu on this one, but obviously Ben isn't going to die; he was wearing a conveniently placed something. | ||

Remember that Locke is still alive^^ Maybe the island is course-correcting things as they should be or something... And I thought it was pretty obvious that burning bus was set by young Ben as a distraction while rescuing Sayid. Anyways, here's a pretty good review of last episode. | ||

Wouldnt ben recognize Sayid since they had an actual conversation, if Widmore was able to recognize Locke after one line? I dont recall Ben recognizing Sayid in Season 2... | ||

he says 'I want lists in 3 days' to Ethan before Ethan runs off, he was definitely very well informed of who exactly was on that plane before he saw Sayid face to face the first time. | ||

Also, in response to the above comments: yeah ben is definitely not dead from that one shot. My guess is that richard and the others will find ben, and the events will unfold like they should for the dharma initiative to get screwed over. And what ben said earlier to sayid at that habitat for humanity place makes more sense now; it's as if ben was remembering the time when sayid shot him as a kid and was simply alluding to that event when he told sayid. | ||
