I dont know how you can say that is true when you have Desmond and Jack descending into this cave with a glowing pond, skeletons of those who tried this previously, and a literal cork in the heart of the Island.

I know we didnt get a history of who built the temples/statues, etc, but I think you can theorize yourself enough on it.

I also love that the Island is just going to keep on being the Island, and that future visitors will see the remnants of 815 and wonder what happened to those people and who were they.

Yea. I loved that stuff. In addition to the stuff I already listed above, We also got The Lighthouse, the rock cave with the chalk names, the skeletons, the donkey wheel explanation. The storm that destroyed the statue.
We learned there was a society there before The Temple people. We learned about Mother.
Probably a ton of stuff I'm also missing right now.

There was a ton of mythology this season. More than any other, I'd argue. Especially the heart of the island location, with the cork in the ground and the skeletons on the floor. I'd argue that could be the single coolest peice of mythology on it's own. Other things were built upon, but seriously on it's own that is so awesome. It's pretty much as far as you can go for showing new, interesting things on the Island. It's the literal core of everything. And tampering with it makes the Island start falling apart and sinking into the ocean forever. That's about as final as you can get.

Season 5 had a lot too, but that was because they knew they were getting towards the end and it was designed to give a lot of backstory through time travel.
