The Skeleton Cave Couple

Yep yep...I posted this theory a while back on LT.

Excellent thoughts AC! I kind of like the idea of Amelia being alive and on the island! Oh...I hope she is!

Very Well written Angelo, but I dont think lost will incorperate anyone real. But some good evidence.

Or maybe the Amelia on the island is the love child of Amelia and Tom. Maybe Amelia was pregnant during flight, they landed on the island, gave birth to Amelia, died on the island, and were laid to rest in the cave.

If this is meant to be a bit facetious -- pointing out the over-use of the "pregnant on the flight" story, which now applies to Claire, Sun, and Kate -- I see the humor. However, if you meant this literally, I'd have to point out that in 1937, flying around the globe was nearly insane; a woman doing it was mad; a pregnant woman flying around the globe would be considered suicide. Earhart was a pioneer, but not a psychopath.

I just read this on you`re blog. Very possible.

Yes they look really alike

I like the idea of the couple in the cave being Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan.I don't think that the Amelia we saw in "A Tale of Two Cities " could be her though.

Amelia Earhart was born 7/24/1897, and was 39 years old when she went missing on 7/02/1937.
That would make her 107 years old in 2004 September 22nd. The actress portraying Amelia is Julie Adams,and her age would have been 78 at that time(2004) as her birthdate is 10/17/1926.

They do bear a striking resemblance to each other. I doubt it is only coincidence.I have read, that the writers usually have a reason for naming their characters as they do,and are usually canon to the show.

I think it is highly possible that it could be revealed that she was the daughter of Amelia Earhart.

What if she didn't know she was pregnant yet? Like, what if they had sex within a few weeks of the flight? She could have been only in her first month of pregnancy and not known she was pregnant.

any thoughts on what the black and white stones mean or how they could relate to the Earhart story?

I had actually never heard of this before. And the evidence supporting this theory is compelling. I like it better than it being some one we know now going back in time and dying.

I can't say I am convinced, although I am intrigued!! I love when I read thought provoking theories like these.

KSJ - Good research on the ages! My only counter argument would be that the Island and ageing have got some previous history in not quite sticking to the same rules that the rest of us are governed by. Take one Richard Alpert, for example.

There would have to be something special about the two skeletons for them to have been left the way they were. Maybe superior life longevity provided by the Island was one such reason.

Shamballa - Nope! No real fix on how the stones could relate to the pair of them. (Believe me, if I had come up with one it would have gone into the theory as more supporting evidence!)

AC, I really thought that same thing about the aging. In fact,when I calculated the age Amelia would be,I used the actual time-line making her 107. Her birth date is July 2,1937,and 815 crash being September 22,2004.

2005

The Oceanic 6 rescue date is Friday, 7 January (Day 108)

"There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3"

Early in the morning, Jack, Kate, Sayid, Sun, Hurley and Aaron (The Oceanic Six) leave the Searcher on the survival raft they will claim washed up on Membata. Frank and Desmond stay on board the Searcher.
Eight to nine hours later, the Oceanic Six arrive at the Indonesian island of Sumba, near the town of Manukangga, where they are found by local fishermen.

If you take the timeline to 7/24/2005, it would make her age to be 108.
What a co-incidence.

It's definitely possible, Smokette. I'd just hate to think they used the pregnant schtick yet a 5th time. My dissent is with the possibility of the writing, not your theory.

I cant reall explain it, but every bone in my body tells me that this isn't right. Sorry Angelo I'm not buying it.

I think I remember reading something like this back on LT a long time ago...in a galaxy far far away.

It sounds very possible. But when you find that the character's name is Amelia it goes from possible to probable considering how the writers rarely put something like that in the show without reason.


I doubt it will amount to anything..just a little easter egg for fun.

Trivia note:
The actress who played Amelia also played the female lead in the 1950's movie "Creature From The Black Lagoon"

MSHL, I think that's where I fall on the idea. That 'Amelia' really could be the Amelia, but we'll probably never know either way.

Total easter egg city. Believe if you're a man of faith, dismiss if you're a man of science.
