When Jack examined Adam & Eve in season 1, he said they had been dead 40-50 years. So how does that jive with this episode in season 6 "Across the Sea"? Isn't that supposed to have happened approx. 2000 years ago?
Did Jack just have no clue, or what?

You've said many times that when people find out who Adam and Eve are, we'll all realize just how long you've been planning the mythology. Well, I went back and watched the "House of the Rising Sun" scene, and Jack says that the clothing looks like it's 50 years old. Is he just not very good at calculating the rate of decay on fabric?Cuse: Jack is not really an expert in carbon dating. Lindelof: He's not really a forensic anthropologist. We need to bring in Bones. Cuse: Or Charlotte. She's an anthropolgist. Lindelof: The other theory that I would like to throw out there is that Jacob and his mother were just expert craftsmen. They made those clothes on that loom so well, it would appear that they were only 50 years old in decomposition, when in fact it's several thousand. Cuse: Or perhaps the fabric is magic. A lot of theories there, Alan. From this: www.hitfix.com/blogs/whats-alan-watching/posts/exclusive-interview-lost-producers-damon-lindelof-and-carlton-cuse-talk-across-the-sea

In other words - they screwed the pooch in making Blackie and Mommy into "Adam and Eve".
Unless they had made their clothes out of some non-corrosive metal - 2000 year old clothes would have rotted away - not to mention their skin - in a tropical climate - those bodies looked to be about de-composed after 40/50 years - not 2000. If they had been embalmed and locked away in the desert somewhere and - they might look like they had only been dead 40/50 years - but that's under optimum conditions. Those bodies didn't look any worse than Yemi's and Goldie's and they had been there a lot less time.
I mean if they had wanted to make sure that Adam and Eve weren't Rose ad Bernard or Jack and Kate or Sawyer and Kate - like al of the ronmantics and shioppers out there were hoping - they could have made Adam and Eve be Emelia Aerhart and Fred Noonan (her navigator) - or some other famous flying couple that was lost and never made it back - not that I know any other ones.
But then again - there was 130 year old dynamite that still worked (all too well for Arzt and Ilana LOL) after all that time - so maybe - like Richard Alpert - some things like clothes and explosives just don't deteriorate the way they should  .

And saltines. Remember when Ben dug up the tin and Hurley took the crackers out of it and they were 15 years old and just fine?

OK - so clothing worn by island island deities and their stolen kids - not to mention their actual bodies, Richard Alpert, dynamite and saltines - impervious to normal aging - even in a tropical climate.
It just has to be the light coming from the "Heart of the Island" (does anyone else hear a Neil Diamond song here . . . . . . . . "Turn on your (island) heart light") that keeps things from aging normally.

Ranch dressing that can keep for 7 years at room temperature? Yikes. Haha, Igmar, every time someone mention the light, I actually get Over At The Frankenstein Place from Rocky Horror stuck in my head. |

There's a light over in that cave over there
There's a ligh-igh-ght
Seen by the guy with blonde hair
There's a light - a light
in the darkness
and it ain't no polar bear.
(Hey - it rhymes ;D)
Ya know - this is just wrong - now I have "Sweet Smoke Monster" and "d**nit Jacob" going through my head. "Time Warp" would pretty much explain itself LOL
Hmmmmmm - The Island Horror Lost Show . . . . . . . . .

Maybe Rose and Bernard put their clothes on the skeletons then ran out into the sea to die.
