Well I've been doing some research around the web, and looking at others theories and idea's, and I’ve come up with my own take on it. Though there are some thing's I still don't understand.
I'll start in the past. Eloise Hawking stated at the Lamppost station that there were many pockets of electromagnetic energy scattered around the world, similar to that of the island. Ex; L.A. , Tunisia, etc. Now Egypt is near-ish to Tunisia. These electromagnetic pockets could possibly be harnessed like a warm hole, or as done in L.A, used like a map, to the island.
If the Egyptians managed to harness that power and make it to the island and start a home, then that could there in explain the Wheel, the Ruins, the Temple, the Four-toed statue, etc.
Now jump a head a few hundred to a thousand years, the Egyptians have been moving on the island as a place of peace to live. As well as giving birth and making a home for themselves.
But they act almost as a pre-dharma initiative, experimenting with the properties of the island and what else it can do, and (like in the swan, when the button is not pushed the magnetism builds to a dangerous extent) the end up screwing up and the magnetic properties they've harnessed builds and acts as a bomb, obliterating most of themselves as well as they're peaceful utopia. Which would explain the almost whole of a 250ft statue missing, as well as the shape that the temple and the ruins are in.
Now by this time, the Egyptian empire on the outside world has fallen, and with it, the secrets of the magnetic pocket in Tunisia. (yes, it's been a while)
but some of the surviving members proceed to live and mate, but over time strides away from the Egyptian culture, and continues on with life on the island. A small group that seemingly stabilizes in population.
Now we get to the 1800's, the Island being the core of magnetic anomalies around the world, is in itself, surrounded by a bubble of magnetism. The a ship called the Black Rock is transporting rare and reactive mettles to other parts of the world, when it passes the island. Being a giant magnet is pulls the ship up and onto the island, tearing a hole in the bubble which shields it from view. That hole being coordinate 305, the only straight shot way to and from the island.
The surviving crew then meets up with our lost civilization and slowly grows and becomes our band of "others" which would explain their vast knowledge of the island and it's inhabitants.
Now jump ahead to the 1950's, military personal have discovered the island and think it to be remote, and decide to use it for nuclear testing. They send a small group to the island with a nuclear bomb "Jughead" with intentions of setting it off. The Others kill them off and bury the bomb underground in attempt to save the island.
Meanwhile a group of scientist’s called the DHARMA Initiative, has come across the L.A. pocket of magnetism, and theorize a much larger, or core if you will. They build a DHARMA station, "The Lamppost" that uses this unique property to find the Island. In hopes of using it's magnetic properties to advance science and inevitably alter The Valenzetti equation.
Sometime in the 60's DHARMA finds the island and starts setting up camp. They find the Nuclear bomb that is slowly leaking and set up the station The Tempest which inevitably is fixing the leak by converting it into basically a mild but deadly nuclear gas, which they then dispose of somehow, as well as multiple other stations.
The build the station the Orchid at the core of the electro magnetic power on the island, as well as multiple other stations. At first the DHARMA initiative were just doing simple experiments to hopefully prolong the Valenzetti theory. But once they realized the magnetism could be harnessed for time travel, they suspected they could alter the future and ultimately stop the Valenzetti Equation from ever happening.
So they developed the swan station originally used for human behavior testing, but then built an electro Magnetic Generator in its core and Synched it up with the newly built time machine in the orchid station, sense the time machine was built at the core of the entire magnetic energy in the island, some of that energy had to go somewhere. So it was sent to the generator in the swan station and when the button was pushed every 108 minutes it dispersed the built up energy as to not basically destroy the island.
At first the DHARMA initiative test on animals, namely Polar bears and rabbits. The send a polar bear from the orchid station wearing an orchid collar back in time, it’s a success. And sense the time machine is located right on top of wear the Egyptians got through to the island in Tunisia, that’s exactly where the polar bears end up, in a dessert in Tunisia. Where they cant survive, and are later found.
With the success of the time machine they decide to try human tests. But not on themselves, instead on natives of the island, who until as of now, have been left alone. The either convince them, or just kidnap them and send them through the time machine, and it works.
By now Richard has been born and through years of fighting due to DHARMA’s unaccepted testing, we reach 2007, where the island has practically been destroyed due to DHARMA testing. Richard is at the age we see him now, and as leader of the others, manages to infiltrate the Orchid and use the time machine to send himself back in time
To pre-DHARMA existence. Sometime during the 1900’s. (Note in this time-line the Oceanic crash never happened because it wasn’t necessary) In hopes of changing the future and preventing the islands destruction. He then tries to change things by getting someone special to the island to help him later on. This person then becomes Ben. Due to Richards vast knowledge he returns to the island and secures his place as leader of the others, and later recruits young Ben.
Years later Richard has informed Ben of the future that was and will be. They then plan and go forward with an extermination of the DHARMA initiative, “The Purge” in hopes that it will alter the future.
