Location of Tunisia in relation to the Island

Look at a globe, not a flat paper map. Tunisia is on the other side of the world from the South Pacific, the location of the Island. The Island's teleportation properties are such that those who are moved from the Island wind up on the other side of the world, which happens to be Tunisia.

  • This may also explain why Egyptian hieroglyphics are seen in the Island's ancient structures like the Temple and the door to the Monster's control room. Tunisia is not that far away from Egypt. Perhaps the ancient Islanders traveled to Tunisia via teleportation and came into contact with ancient Egyptian culture, namely their form of writing.
  • Tunisia is somehow the future resting place of the island (explaining why the polar bear skeleton resides here as well as why Ben said, rather smugly, that it wasn't his first time there). This would also indicate that Ben and the island are moving through time differently than the others.
  • If you use the Numbers as coordinates in Google Maps you will see a place in Africa right to the south from Tunisia.

Packet of Energy

The location in Tunisia is above yet another unique packet of electromagnetic energy, similar to the ones at the healing house in Australia, the Lamp-Post station in LA, and of course the Swan on the island. The island is connected to this packet in some fundamental way, and the one who moves the island gets sent there to some random point in time. Also, if the island can move, it is unlikely that the Tunisia-exit is just on the opposite side of the globe, since island-movers could not consistently appear in the same location.
