Implied knowledge

  • The creator of the map must have been aware of happenings outside of the hatch, either by leaving or communication over DharmaTel.
  • There was either more than one author, or the single author was present for at least 12 years.

Implied timeline

It's not clear whether certain numbers are dates, or what notations, if any, are meant to be associated with those dates, but a reasonable extrapolation of notes on the map yields the following timeline.

  • 7 December 1981: HG delegation inspection
  • 28 October 1984: Suspected shutdown
  • 1985: MDG/AH incident
  • 8 May 2000: Complete DHARMAtel shutdown in effect
  • 15 August 2001: Complete DHARMAtel shutdown in effect
  • 3 April 2002: A cryptic note on left side of map refers to "REV ... possible location of Zoological research facility". The date the creator of the map found it -- thus a REVision? The date of a message from "REV" about the facility?
  • 6 January 2003: Complete DHARMAtel shutdown in effect

Significance of Dates

  • December 7, 1981 is exactly 40 years after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
