Blast Door Theory

[buttonpresser4815]

I have a feeling there are some things we are not fully comprehending on this map. For one, Hic Sunt Dracones, or Here be Dragons, is a latin phrase that sailors would put on maps where alledged sightings of sea monsters had been. Perhaps the mapmaker saw the Dharma Shark?

Anway, this thread is entirely dedicated to the many locations, phrases, and possible clues that are on the blast door map. I thank Tycho for originally starting the Blast Door Map thread. Also, I think, as with Ethan Rom and Other man, Dharma and Had Arm, Henry Gale and Angry Heel, there are some anagrams involved.

Hic Sunt Dracones
Others can icunds?

I have no idea what icunds means.

Maybe Lift Up Your Heart could mean somthing about having faith, especially when in that certain area.

[buttonpresser4815]

COuld there be healing zones on the island? I got this elsewhere.

[Reno]

Like the healing zone the healer told Rose about in SOS? Quite possibly, but what if its only in certain areas? Oh boy, I dont want this to happen, but maybe The Swan was generating the healing zone? CRAP, if that is true, then Locke cant walk anymore.

[buttonpresser4815]

A bunch of people are theorizing that and I hope its untrue, because then Rose will die as well and Jin will be havin no more babies.

[Jarlaxle]

But if that did happen then we would learn more about why Locke is in a wheele chair.

perhaps

And i just realized the significance of this.

look at the bottom.

SYSTEMwide FAILURE of dharmatel intranet.

4.08.00, 8.15.01, 1.06.03

*Desmond's system failure, as we all know, was on 9.22.04

he had been in the hatch for three years and emerged on that date, so let's say thsi is exact. He came on 9.22.01. This would be right after the sytem failure of August 15. I think that Kelvin forgot to push it during one of his BDM excursions. If these aren't really system failure's, this would imply that there was a Dharmatel Intraner to be shutdown, also implying that stations were in communication with each other, implying that stations are still occupied, implying that the Dharma Initiative or some loyal to it still remain on the island.

[Jarlaxle]

And most likely it's the ones who are still loyal to Dharma who are called the others. This could prove my thought about the others using all of the other stations as reallay points and outposts for attacks.

[buttonpresser4815]

yes but if they are Dharma scientists why would they want the button not to be pushed, exposing the island? Perhaps they are just really bored of it.

[evilcrash9]

it could just be another mind trick to see if you would risk everything and trust yourself to not push that friggin button

[buttonpresser4815]

if it is a mind test then why would they have so much of a consequence to it not being pushed?

[Reno]

What if, When the Pearl was made, the Swan was a mind test, but it changed later on, sin ce the Pearl video was made in 1980. And the swan incident was in 1985. Maybe somewhere inbetween 1980 and 1985 the swan whent from a mind test, to a electromagnetic plant.

[Jarlaxle]

It can't be a mind test. It clearly blocked the island from radar until the sheild was down.

[buttonpresser4815]

I think it is unluckly that it is a mind test.
