What on or off of Earth is this place?  It disappears, no one can find it and it heals people.  Yes the Island is a giant mystery and we’re all waiting for the end of this season to know more.  It seems as though every time a question gets answered 2 more pop up.  What we do know so far is that there are a group of people simply known as the others that speak Latin and have lived on the Island for a really long time.  They have different leaders and an advisor named Richard.

Some French people showed up, died and were survived by a woman named Ruso who had her baby stolen by an other (Benjamin Linus).

A group called the Dharma initiative lived on the Island during the 70’s and discovered some interesting properties of the Island and we’re going to do something with it.

Later Oceanic 815 crashed and the place hasn’t been the same since.  The island also seems to have some interesting magical or spiritual significance.  There is a person or deity named Jacob on the island who lives there with some other type of deity who wants him dead.  Jacob seems benevolent and involved in the lives of everyone from 815 but we’re still not sure of his role.  Similar to Jacob there is a temple and some other ancient artifacts on the island that remind one of ancient Egypt.
