yeah that new chick that jacob asked to protect the 6 remaining candidates said it like 2 or 3 episodes ago.
Oh yeah seriously this episode was simply amazing
and these damn writters are trying so hard not to say the smoke dudes real name.
Theres tons of theories online but i still think the island is related to the lost city of Atlantis.
Atlantis was a large island in the Atlantic Ocean which lay in front of the mouth of the pillars of Heracles (straits of Gibraltar). Their inhabitants became a spiritually ugly race and for that reason Zeus and the gods destroyed them by letting the island be swallowed up by the sea. Atlantis was ruled by a confederation of kings and its power extended over Libya as far as Egypt and over Europe as far as Tuscany. About 8000 years before the Trojan War, Atlantis attempted to conquer the whole of the Mediterranean world but was defeated by the Athens of those remote times and its allies. Later, when the gods perceived that Atlantis was inhabited by an evil race, they let the island be destroyed by the third of the floods which preceded the Flood in the time of Deucalion 1. The first ten kings of Atlantis (five pairs of twins) were all sons of Poseidon and
cleito 2. The first born was Atlas, who was appointed to be king over the rest and after whom the island was called. The legend of Atlantis is not connected to other myths except for the names of Atlas and Poseidon.
if you notice the while richard was on the blackrock and it crashed into what looked like the top of the statue which ment the water was really high. which would coincice with the legend of atlantis being under sea.
Now as for jacob he is most likely the son of poseiden
When the gods divided among themselves different regions of the earth, the island of Atlantis was allotted to Poseidon, who settled there the children he had begotten of a mortal woman.
In the middle of the island there was a fertile plain, and in its centre there stood a mountain where the autochthons (offspring of the soil) Evenor 4 and Leucippe 6 lived with their daughter
cleito 2. When they died, Poseidon married this young woman, and proceeded to alter the landscape, making the hill impregnable. And so he carved circular belts, three of sea and two of land around the hill, isolating it completely, for at that time sailing was unknown. He also brought up springs of warm and cold water, producing all kinds of food.
Much of some of these references can be similarly found in Egyptian lore also.
