Who is Richard Alpert?

I just caught up with "Lost" for the season and I have no one to talk to about it, so I'm gonna talk to you all below the fold.

I think that Richard Alpert is Egytpian Sun God Ra (Richard Alpert = R.A. = Ra), or something similar.  There has been Egyptian stuff spread throughout the series.  There are the hieroglyphics in the Hatch, Hurley's painting of the Sphinx, and the numerous appearances of ankhs (including the two being held by the four-toed statue), and Richard's guyliner resembles kohl (example). 

Also, I agree with Jim Treacher.  I don't think that the 1977 Ben Linus was killed, if for no other reason that that he's a great character.

I think that Ben Linus ISN'T BEN LINUS.  Or, not that boy we THINK is Ben Linus. 

And the egyptian thing makes sense.  Maybe the others are gods!

Interesting idea about Ra.  Also makes sense with the eyeliner vs. hieroglyphic figure representing the sun god (if you don't know what I'm talking about, watch Stargate).

I don't know if I necessarily buy it though.  The Hieroglypics we've seen were all built into Dharma initiative structures (think, the countdown meter in first hatch), not Hostile-built things.

I think kid Ben Linus is probably not dead, although the show becomes increasingly more interesting if he is.  My guess is that Shephard will be faced again with the choice to help Ben or not.

Also, interesting tie-in here.  Didn't Ben have that tumor near his spine? Perhaps this gunshot is the reason he developed that tumor (i.e. bullet fragment still lodged in his back).

Well, they've continually CONTINUALLY shown that nobody can change the past even ... except maybe Desmond... and really he only is AWARE that he can't more than anything.

So... Ben Linus is not dead.  Or, more accurately, the man we know as Benjamin Linus in 2004 did not die in 1977 at the hands of Sayed OR, if he did, he was revived by the magic of the island. 

If that boy didn't get killed by that shot to center mass by a trained murderer miles away from help with only a very knocked out Jin to help him, I'll be amazed. 

And remember, when little boy "Ben" was leaving to join the Others he was still .. whatever, 10 but when he came back with the poison he was  much as he is now... who's to say he's even the same person... I mean, there are obvious similarities but nothing conclusive.

More on that later.

6 Very little is known about Richard's past before 1867 except that he was once a Spaniard living near El Socorro on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. He had a wife named Isabella and both lived in a small cottage in a rural area where they made a living out of farming. Richard and his wife were both hoping to travel to the New World in order to start a new life and begin a family there. At that time, Richard had been trying his best to teach himself English to prepare for his travel to the new world  Board Games

7 Richard found the remains of the statue of Taweret on the beach and approached the statue's pedestal, where Jacob assaulted him. Richard struggled and attempted to stab Jacob but was disarmed. Jacob demanded Richard tell him who gave him the knife. Richard demanded to know where his wife was. Jacob did not know her by name and asked if she had come on the ship with him, but Richard replied that she was dead. This logic irritated Jacob, who asked Richard if he had met a man dressed in black. Richard said he had, and repeated what the Man in Black had told him: that the Island was Hell and Jacob was the Devil. Jacob responded by forcibly immersing Richard in the nearby surf repeatedly until he declared that he wanted to live. Jacob then praised him for finally being sensible.
