Changes: Adam and Eve

Revision as of 16:26, 13 February 2008

Aande stones — The stones found on the bodies.

Adam and Eve is the nickname that Locke gave for two bodies discovered by Jack and Kate in the cave. ("House of the Rising Sun") On these bodies, Jack found a small bag containing one white and one black rock.

Facts

They are skeletons found in the caves discovered by Jack in the episode "White Rabbit". They have not been seen since.
The bodies themselves were not discovered until the episode "House of the Rising Sun", when Jack returned to the caves to collect water.
They have been dead at least 40-50 years according to the deterioration of their clothing.
They were carrying one black and one white stone. Jack took these stones and neglected to mention them when Locke asked what had been discovered. See also: Black and white.
The religious nickname is taken from Adam and Eve of the Bible.

Interview testimony

In an EW.com article, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse answered the fan question, "What is the meaning or significance of the two skeletons that Jack and Kate found in the cave of season 1?"
CUSE: The answer to that question goes to the nature of the timeline of the Island. We don't want to say too much about it, but there are a couple Easter eggs embedded in "Not in Portland", one of which is an anagram that actually sheds some light on the skeletons and hints at a larger mythological mystery that will start to unfold later in the season.
LINDELOF: There were certain things we knew from the very beginning. Independent of ever knowing when the end was going to be, we knew what it was going to be, and we wanted to start setting it up as early as season 1, or else people would think that we were making it up as we were going along. So the skeletons are the living—or, I guess, slowly decomposing—proof of that. When all is said and done, people are going to point to the skeletons and say, "That is proof that from the very beginning, they always knew that they were going to do this."
- In the Official Lost Podcast transcript/February 12, 2007, Damon and Carlton confirmed that the anagram was Mittelos-Lost Time.
