Although the part about going home I can see.  Home could also just be the temple the Jacob tribe is protecting.  They might even be aliens for all we know....four toed aliens...and the temple is a spaceship/warp portal. |

 Ahh I like these ideas. Remember the quote when we first met Jacob:
"
They come. They fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same." --Man in black
"
It only ends once. Everything that comes before is just progress." --Man in white

 Interesting observation -- do you have a hypothesis leading from that?
