So when did the statue (speculation is that it is either Sobek or Taweret) fall? And did the fall of the statue begin the fertility problems women were having? Or did the "incident" start those? When was Ethan born?

Not my original ideas, it's floating around the web.

Here is a good link.

Ethan was conceived and born on the island. Had to have been since Juliette, who delivered him, had been there for 3 years when he was born. So unless Horace and Amy went off island at some point, which was not shown, Ethan must have been conceived and born there.[/quote]

Didn't Juliette deliver him when they went back in time? Does that mean that she delivered him even though she wasn't brought to the island until he was an adult? The time loop is going to do me in.

Between those two I'd lean towards Sobek...Taweret is a female god I believe and Egyptian Goddesses didn't wear short skirts(they wore long dresses) like our statue...but the male gods did.

As for what happened to the statue to cause it to fall......got me, maybe the H-Bomb or maybe moving the Island or maybe the breaking of the world(no wait, that last one is a wheel of time thing...:blush: )

Yes. She delivered him after she (and Sawyer, and Miles, and Jin) had been living with the others for 3 years.

One of the guys in the cast of my show (Tommy McCurdy) was in 5 episodes of 'Lost'.
He shot at someone named Sawyer...
:)

But who delivered him before then? He was about the same age has her when they were doing the book club and the plane crashed.

Juliette delivered him. She always delivered him. She first arrived on the island somewhere around 2001, lived in the barracks with the Others until 2004, jumped back in time to 1974, delivered Ethan in 1977. That's the way it always happened.

When Ethan met Juliette in 2001(ish) he was meeting the doctor that delivered him in 1977. It happened in his past, but Juliette's future.

Ya, I got that. I'm just not convinced that's the way it always happened.

Based on what they've implicated so far, as well as the usual rules of time travel (both purely sci-fi rules, and theoretical rules), everything we've seen up to the point of Juliette setting off the bomb has always happened.
