I'm entertaining the hell/purgatory theory and the (reletively) simple theory having to do with the magnetic field on the island. I'm leaning towards the scientific theory, that all this crazy stuff happens and people are affcted by and because of the magnetic field.

Who really knows....My guess is aborigine. I mena best guess it appears the island is in the south pacific near Autralia..makes sense to me......

There's something about their independence...that is still not such a happy occasion...cause the people are livin' in more poverty and less education than an island belonging to a nation.

The islands have been known to be part of the Philippines Islands... and nobody cared. Now however, there is the possibility there maybe oil over there. Bringing China and Vietnam into the picture. In fact a few Filipinos actually lived there subsisting mostly by fishing. \n\nHistory has shown again and again that regardless of International Law, possession and power decides ownership. Witness Brunei, a possession of the Sultanate of Sulu and by extension the Philippines. This terrritory was rented in perpetuity by Great Britain for something like $30,000 Malaysian a year. The Philippines tried unsuccessfully to assert ownership thru the International Court. \n\nIf the pattern continues, then China will most likely prevail, unless the Philippines could creatively checkmate it.

I agree with Cato about the existence of the Hanso Foundation outside of the show as a way to get more interest, but within the confines of the show, I think that the Hanso Foundation, The Widmore Group, Paik Heavy Industries, Santa Rosa Mental Institution and potentially several other organizations work together as a sort of conspiracy doing unethical scientific experiments for a myriad of reasons. That this has to do with the island because of the Dharma Intiative's presence on the island and that the others are independent of them, since I almost believe that they are the good guys and that their goal is to counter the Hanso Foundation's insane work. Just my theory, I'm sure it will be discredited next season.

yes, i have seen several tv shows about it over the years.\n\ni dont believe anything is there.  i think it is a case of myth, rumor, legend gotten way out of hand.  there is probably some a little truth, but mostly exaggeration.  probably pirates did visit there several hundred years ago, maybe they left some valuable objects, but big treasure---doubtful.\n\nthink about it,  why go to such elaborate, unbelievable work to hide something that you plan to recover?  digging a hole 300 feet deep with technology circa 1700? \n\nbasically uninhabited island,  find a good spot, bury it 6 ft down, leave.  who is going to find it before they planned to come back? working 6 months, digging, to create the ultimate hiding place would call more attention to what they were doing.
