Ben's secret door
From Lostpedia
In the episode The Shape of Things to Come, Ben Linus opened and passed through a secret door, accessible from the secret closet behind his bookcase. This secret door was covered with hieroglyphs. Shortly after emerging from the unseen place beyond this secret door, the Monster appeared, apparently having been summoned by Ben.
There appear to be 6 hieroglyphics present on the door. Clockwise from the upper left they are a man, a small wavey line, a cross or ankh, small circular shape, another man with raised hands, and an alpha-type character. These symbols appear to be determinative symbols. Roughly translated they read "to summon protection...". [1]
From clockwise left they appear to possibily mean
1. Man striking with weapon
2. Weapon
3. Ankh- symbol of life
4. Attend, attendant.
5. Man with weapon
6. Bind, seal, or summon.
