At first what freaked me out so much was I though it appeared as if the statue had long uneven hair almost wookie like. After closer inspection of the screen caps you can see a clearly chiseled line that you would expect from historic statues. At this point most people agree this is a statue of Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead. Before anyone starts regurgitating any purgatory theories a reminder that Darlton has stated many times that the island is NOT purgatory. In last night's episode Amy takes a necklace from her newly dead husband's neck. It's a necklace of a ankh, which is an Egyptian hieroglyph meaning eternal life. This is a very blatant clue on the writers part. Here is the part that sells me on the idea the statue is Anubis. In almost all documentations of Anubis he is holding at least one ankh and quite often two. In the screen cap you can see our statue is clearly holding what appears to be an ankh in each hand. So if this a statue of Anubis, what does that mean?
