The island is... Atlantis

[Mera]

Ok so bare with me here...
If you think about it the "LOST" city of Atlantis could very well be the island.
Richard and the "others" (who never age) could be the "atlantians"
The Black Smoke could be Atlantis's defense system. Also, the island seems to have advanced techonology (moving the island, black smoke, etc)
And if you remember back to the big stone foot... atlantis statue
idk just a thought :)

Ive been saying that all along....i think the best clue is in the name of the show.

LOST...as in the LOST city of Atlantis?

Yeah,

I don't know if they will actually have it be Atlantis but it is Atlantean for sure. Ancient civilization, in possession of advanced technology, etc. Funny how in ancient, incredibly advanced societies, you can time travel by turning a wooden wheel.

Apart from Richard there is no other evidence of any of the other others (Lol) dont age.

It seems to easy to say lost is the lost city of Atlantis. I would be throughly disappointed if at the end it was all a build up to the obvious.

Huh,
I never even thought of that possibility. That's a pretty cool thought. How weird would that be. I love it!!!
