I have been thinking lately, how did the humans expelled the Goa'uld 10,000 years ago? The combined Goa'uld forces have atleast 60 - 100++ mothership, or more. Ok, maybe not during the 10,000 years ago. But in an alternate reality which Daniel experience in "There But a Grace of God", Apophis took only 2 Ha'tak class to destroy the entire Earth. But during the past, we only have spears and sword...any ideas?

Actually, the combined Goa'uld fleets during their peak had far more than 100 Ha'taks, possibly numbering a couple of thousand or more based on what we've seen throughout the first 8 seasons. Anubis alone had at least several hundred at his disposal.
Although yeah, it's very possible that the Goa'uld had significantly less motherships 10,000 years back or so, and they were of inferior design to boot. And to answer your question, it's possible that Ra decided it wasn't worth the trouble to quell the uprising as he felt that he and the other Goa'uld had already milked Earth for all it was worth (by transplanting human slaves to other worlds). Besides that, Earth wasn't strategically important to them at the time as it didn't possess any naquadah deposits. Perhaps even Ra was already fighting a battle against the other System Lords at the time and he didn't have any significant forces to spare to deal with the Tau'ri, so he chose to cut his losses and run.

ra would of been angry like all gouald on the galaxy,why dodnt he wipe them out????
Earth was Ra's planet. When the Humans rebelled, Ra effectively made Abydos his "new Earth," according to the movie. Earth was a backwater planet at the time, so it really wasn't worth the effort to take it back.Last edited by Daniel Jackson; 29 September 2006, 11:25 AM.

Below is my response to the original poster's question.

The second part
Well, taking back the planet or wiping them out is to restore the humiliation the Tau'ri did to the Goa'uld. The Goa'uld imposed themself as God but there were expelled by their own slave. Doesnt really make any sense to me actually. Defying their Gods means Death.

Earth was important, because they "exported" Humans to other Planets, and probably they used up all the Naquadah on Earth(Considering that there is none on Earth now).
So they "exported" Humans to other worlds, until they started reproducing on other Worlds. So when Earth started the Rebellion and burried the Gate....
why would they care at all?

While the way the Jaffa win their freedom in episode Reckoning is much more logical to me. Atleast they have a few Ha'taks, Alkesh and 12 squardon of Death Gliders. Together with the situation cost by the Replicators, it sounds much more logical that the Jaffa to overthrow the Goa'uld.
But as for Tau'ri to do that without any ships or any good explanation, I really doubt it.
