  "Maybe I'm overanalyzing..." My brother in Jacob, not only is that your job, its why you have one of the best Lost channels out there. It's why we're all here.

  Great video. Finding and analyzing those hieroglyphics is next level!<br><br>I also agree with you that the Egyptian era on the island happens after the events in Across The Sea…Jacob’s tapestry and the hieroglyphics in the donkey wheel chamber confirm it for me. <br><br>Keep up the great work.

  &quot;I&apos;m good at spotting things&quot;... My god, the dedication and the attention to detail in this video - it&apos;s astounding. I&apos;ve always been fascinated by the Egyptian mythology hidden in the background of LOST, but I was never smart enough to draw any conclusions from it. It&apos;s a good thing your channel exists. The moment the Egyptian music caught up with the &apos;Heart of the island&apos; theme gave me goosebumps. 😛 I&apos;m personally not the biggest fan of this episode, but watching MIB leading Ben to the chamber and emerging from the vent will never be the same again, now that I have a better understanding of how much of his history must have taken place there. Thanks a lot for all of the hard work.

  Very well researched and structured video. Thank you, was curious how Ben was able to summon smokey and more of the mythology around the Egyptians.

  Amazing work! Great job identifying those hieroglyphs. The ancient history of the island is so intriguing to me. I would have loved more of this in the show itself, but videos like this are the next best thing. It&apos;s interesting to think about the Hindu/Buddhist art, cuneiform writing, the Romans, and what culture Mother came from. The temple itself really doesn&apos;t look Egyptian at all when you look past the hieroglyphs. I think it was mostly inspired by Cambodian/Khmer Hindu temples, especially Prasat Thom with its stepped Prang pyramid. Baksei Chamkrong has one too.

  That&apos;s the most in-depth analysis of Egypt mythology in LOST. As always great work! It’s interesting to imagine thousands of people from an ancient civilization on the island and how MIB convinced them to build a chamber and god only knows what else

  This video (and all of your hard work included!) is the perfect example of why I dislike those Lost naysayers spouting: &quot;Meh, unanswered questions; meh, I want to see more of the Egyptians; meh, how was this built/who did this?&quot; etc. It&apos;s (mostly) all right there - you just have to delve! (Or let Choekaas delve for you.)<br><br>This video is a fantastic look at the background mythology that enriches the lore for those that want to look for it. But can you imagine the show forcibly trying to shoehorn even a fraction of what you&apos;re discussing into the actual narrative of the show?! Trying to mix the STORY of our survivors with the HISTORY of the island as if they&apos;re supposed to be concurrently told/explored?<br><br>All of this enriching detail is AWESOME and it&apos;s so cool that it&apos;s being discussed so many years later. The Damon Lindelof mantra of &quot;I don&apos;t want to have a scene equivalent to explaining midichlorians&quot; always wins out. Leave enough breadcrumbs for the smart (Choekaas) to piece together so that we can all form our own final head canon.<br><br>Great work as always, Choekaas!

  Bra jobbat. This has always been my favorite Lost episode. Didn&apos;t know that Salinger from Ilanas team was present when Ben shot Ceasar. Never thought about that..
