Stargate?? Gone from the Basic story...Egypt

[anubis3355]

I started watching SG1 because it had my favorite subject ...Egypt....now its not so much..............today the show has drawn away by having killer metalic bugs, killer infersting bugs, an imposible love story and earths travels in space...........what happed??? I still love the show but seriosly changed..........what do u think? :S

[spg_1983]

The show has grown and evolved beyond its original concept. If a show didn't change it would become stagnant and be cancelled. Growing and changind beyond the scope of the original idea is the mark of a very good show.

I agree, but let's not forget the Egyptian influence. It's part of what gives the Stargate mythothogy its style.

I did notice that the people who came to this thread all show Egyptian influence themselves! :)

how do you mean?

[Hatusu]

Anubis is the Egyptian Jackel God of the Underworld. You, SPG are using Skarra's face as his Avatar. Skarra's ansestors were Egyptian. My name Hatusu, is short for Hatshepsut, the female Pharaoh of Egypt.

oh ok, the skaara avatar is really just a filler till i can unlock thor

[Hatusu]

Yes, that would throw off my theory.....except that Norse (and Greek) mythology were influenced by Egyptian mythology! Heehee. ;)

It's true!
Osiris/Ra, Zeus, Odin

Hathor, Aphrodite, Freya

Isis, Hera, Frigg

Horus, Aries, Thor

Seth, Dyonisis , Loki

Anubis, Haides, Hel (female)

Because of course being fresh and vital is a sure way not to be cancelled.

[ShadowMaat]

My name Hatusu, is short for Hatshepsut, the female Pharaoh of Egypt.

I've always thought it'd be cool to meet her. I figure Cleopatra and Nefertiti were both highly overrated. :P

So explain the ridiculous success of Friends. :P

[Hatusu]

I think they were all interesting women. Egypt flourished under Cleopatra, until she was defeated. I'd like to meet Nefertiti. She led a very interesting life, and may have been Pharoah for two years herself. It's a theory that she was Smenkare.

Hey, Akenaten as Goa'uld. I know he was a real person, but it just fits!

[ShadowMaat]

Wasn't Imhotep real, too? Just 'cause a person really existed doesn't mean he wasn't a goa'uld. :P

Not necessarily. In my opinion, i think it would be logical to come up with any of those gods or goddesses without any outside interference. Early humans wanted explanations for everyday things. they did not have any kind of knowlege of weather, astronomical events, natural disasters, etc..., so they turned to religion to explain everything. The easiest way to do this is to come up with one deity for each event, or position, even, such as a ruler for them all to keep their powers in check. Also, a ruler of all the gods and goddesses would be symbolized by something with great power or life-giving potential, such as Zeus was symbolized with thunder and lightning and Ra was symbolized by the Sun. (I don't know a darn thing about Norse mythology except that Thor had a hammer that produced thunder when thrown.)

[Hatusu]

Yes, he directed the building of the first pyramid. I always hated that he was portrayed as an evil mummy in the movies (although I loved both versions), He was a genius.

I forgot how they used him in "Stargate SG1"

OK, you can argue some of them, but they're pretty certain about Hathor and Aphrodite, because the influence was recorded at the time. I'm not an Egyptologist, but I've seen articles mentioning this.

[Mr Prophet]

Perhaps, but then later Greeks - Herodotus especially - had a real yen to show that everything Greek originated with the Egyptians. Moreover, even if Hathor did influence Aphrodite, Freya is a completely different kettle of fish; a goddess of death as well as love; all more Mesopotamian than Greek.

Osiris was the god of the Underworld, Ra the sun god; they had little enough in common, let alone Zeus - sky god - and Odin - god of battle, fate and death.

Isis is the goddess of cunning and magic, to Hera's more hearth-goddess role. Hera has her dangerous, powerful side, but she's got more in common with Bastet than with Isis.

Horus...Well, pick one, but he's basically a sun god in most of his many incarnations. Aries is a thuggish battle deity and rather earthy war god, while Thor is a sky god and rules over justice.

Seth is a brutish killer, Dyonisis a drunken child and Loki a giant and a trickster. And Anubis is a scribe, Hades a judge - closer to Osiris - and Hel is a figure more akin to Linea on the prison world than to any God.

You're very good, but Osiris and Ra were interchangable for awhile. And I didn't say that the God's of these cultures were identical, I said that they influenced each other.

Thank you for challenging me. I'll go look at some more articles. I'm personally researching Horus, who as you said, has many identities including Herur-ur, if I spelled that right, but I always think of him as a hero like Thor.

[Mr Prophet]

I don't know about interchangable. I'm sure they were named as each other, but then so was everyone in Ancient Egypt. Of course Aphrodite was associated with Hathor, for example, every foreign deity was, because she was the foreigner goddess, as Seth was the foreigner god.

You're probably thinking of Harcesis - Horus, Son of Isis; stick that in your fanfic pipe and smoke it! - who was...

Well, not to be too blunt, a whining mummy's boy (drum roll, cymbal crash), who never would have been Pharaoh if Seth had been ready to think with his brain instead of his...erm...trouser parts.

:mad: Whoa, from where did that hostlity come? :S

"Mummy's boy" Hah! :D I get it. You're pulling my leg! Egypt jokes!

OK. A pharoah, a mummy and a goa'uld walk into a bar.
Who buys the drinks?
The mummy. He's really parched.;)

I know, a groaner! Can anyone else take on the challenge?

Nephtys calls round to pick up her brother for their first date (those wacky Egyptian Gods).
"Are you ready?" she askes.
"Yes," he replies. "I'm all Set."

(buh-dum, tchi!)

In a similar vein:

"Who was that lady I saw you with last night?"
"That was no lady, that was my sister!"

"I say, I say, I say; my Setesh beast has no nose!"
"How does he smell!"
"Terrible!"

"Why did the Pharaoh go blind? Because he had cataracts of the Nile!"

(buh-dum, tchi!)

"Where were you born?"
"Memphis."
"Which part?"
"All of me!"
"Have you lived there all your life?"
"Not yet."



I do not wish to hear that. Kindly leave the Black Land and walk out into the desert to be food for jackals and vultures!

Hi there, what an interesting discussion....after years of silent watching, I might as well say something...I'm actually a linguist and Egyptologist in real life, and I've enjoyed Stargate from the very beginning...I was sceptical about all those changes, because I favour the Egyptian connections as well, but it has turned out really well.
btw, Anubis is not exactly a scribe - Thoth is the scribe (and something of a patron deity for me...if you could see the desk in my office...)
If anyone is interested in my *professional* opinion, just ask.

i have a question for you, ilike to read alot about archaelogy and egyptology and stuff like that and something ive come across a couple times is people talking about how the sphinx wasnt built when they say it was built and that there are all sorts of tunels and chambers under the sphinx and pyramids but no one has been alowed to try to explore them or reasearch them because the egyptian gvernmetn wont let them and the old time leaders in the field shun people trying to change our understanding of that stuff because all their life works would then have been based on lies. is any of that actually true or not?

[Mr Prophet]

Sorry; my bad. Not a scribe, just the man from weights and measures and minor league guardian of the necropolis.

As to the secret hall of records under the Sphinx, there's really two sides of it. The Egyptian authorities are very conservative and very resistant to reinterpretation; understandably so since the country's economy is reliant on archaeo-tourism. On the other hand, the guys who claim that there are secret Egyptian scrolls buried in Stonehenge are half-baked nut-jobs in dire need of a sound kicking.

We don't know everything about Egypt and there is a great deal of scope for reinterpretation and re-examination, but to take this as a sign that there are ancient astronauts hidden under the Giza plateau is taking things a little far.

And for the record, to the best of my knowledge the third pyramid is offset less to mirror Orion's Belt and more because in direct line you run out of sandstone to build on and your pyramid slides off the plateau.

well i agree that i highly doubt there are aliens under the giza plateau but this one report i read a while ago(sorry im trying to remember where and when i read it so i can recheck if its even a credible source or not) said that there had been some kind of radar-seismo-magnetic-resonace something or other done using satalites that definately showed there were many passages and chambers under the plateau. sorry i cant be more specific with details i read this like three years ago when researching a paper for my archeology class. ill try to find it again and get more details

[Mike]

One thing to keep in mind was that Egypt was not its main theme/focus. The Stargate, and Stargate travel were. While the mythological aspect of it all is very interesting, IMO its only secondary to the actual Stargate part.

SPOILERS, SEASON 7 LOST CITY PART 2 (722)

Stargate SG-1 started with us knowing very little about the gate, and then we end Season 7 knowing that the gate symbols are almost like an alphabet that can be spoken. The show has come a long way in several areas--technology wise, knowledge wise, and character devleopment wise.

It was only natural to break away from that Egyptian-themed part of it.

We must remember that Daniel was a half-baked nut job as well. I think it would be cool to see Egyptian evidence found so far away from egypt. :)

[Champos]

I've never actually bothered to check it, but I read somewhere that if you draw a line of longitude straight through the Great Pyramid at Giza, it will cover more land than any other such line anywhere else on Earth. I don't know if it is indeed true, but it would be a pretty impressive coincidence if it did.

Edit: just remembered where I read it actually. It was around the time they were deciding where to put the Meridian timeline. In the end everyone agreed on Greenwich (everyone except the French who were being Gallic/difficult), but one of the other suggestions was Giza, mostly for the reason above.

[spg_1983]

yes an amazing coincedence.......or is it???????

Yeah, history can be a harsh critic... Heck, even in the movie Kung Pow, Enter the Fist when the French were the "Evil council of Aliens" they still lost... heheheh... now that was a great movie.... Maybe I will start a thread with my favorite Kung Pow quotes... lol

[Mr Prophet]

We must remember that Daniel was a half-baked nut job as well. I think it would be cool to see Egyptian evidence found so far away from egypt. :)

Actually, Daniel was a pretty well-baked nutjob, at least in the movie. As I mentioned before, his theory that the pyramids were older than originally thought was entirely non-nuts, yet the sort of thing that the Minister of Antiquities doesn't like to encourage.

Also, Stargate; just not the real world.

[Iskandra]

...oh...don't get me going on that minister of the Supreme Council of Antiquities...I've met him in person....we didn't like each other....

He actually wrote a book about the sphinx business, and there are indeed corridors and stuff underneath it, but they were built later than the sphinx itself. At least in RL.

experts are still arguing about the whole erosion business, bevause some just think erosion by sand couldn't have made the sphinx look like that. I personally think it did....if you ever saw a sandstorm, you would agree...

[Mr Prophet]

Of course, it's not helped by Mr Hancock taking a geological expert saying: "This looks to me like water erosion, which puts the sphinx at about 2,000 years older than we thought", then somehow making of this: "So the sphinx could predate the evolution of the human race" or some such rot.

There was a great Dr Who story where the Doctor offers to show an alien to the Halls of Wisdom, but turns out to be just luring him into a trap by getting him to climb into a dead end well because there is no hall of wisdom.

[Hatusu]

Hi brilliant people. :) A special hello for Iskandra. I knew there must be an Egyptologist somewhere around here. Welcome! It's so funny you mentioned the minister of antiquities, because I was going to ask about him. Now I have to ask about the origin of your name.

I never for a second believed that aliens influenced the Egyptians. I like to believe the human race can do great things all by itself. However I do think the premise of the show is fun.

I've visited Egypt, and had my one and only claustrophobic attack while inside the small pyramid. There's nothing like duckwalking down a ramp, with tons of granite above your head (and making contact with your head quite a lot) in 100 degree heat, and no way to leave. Woooo, it almost came back.

People rushed out of that pyramid like they just survived a huge rollercoaster. I have great respect for archeologists who are excavating tombs like Kent Weeks at KV5. I'd love to discuss your work, and the most recent theories.

But back to "Stargate". What do you think "Stargate" and "Stargate SG1" did well? Where did they miss the mark? Is there an Egyptian God that would make a good villain that the writers haven't used yet?

[Iskandra]

Well, sorry to be late in answering, but I had trouble with my computer (you can't imagine the kind of withdrawal I suffered...I've never been without one since age 11, and I'm 31 now....*the pain* ;)

Well, Zahi Hawass, the said minister, has a populistic touch I don't like, and he isn't very nice to anyone below him (like ordinary Egyptologists such as me).

My name, Iskandra, is the Arabic version of my real name and the name people use to call me when I'm in Egypt...Alexandra. I also got a nickname from my fellow Egyptologists, which is Nebet Weshaw, "Mistress of the Dark Night" - one of the "hours" in the Amduat is called that (the Amduat is something like a traveller's handbook to the underworld :) )

I 've never suffered from claustrophobia, but my boyfriend does...we went into Chephren's pyramid, and I thought he was gonna die....

Back to Stargate: I just love both the film and the series, although I thought it was a pity that they didn't continue the brilliant work of reconstructing Ancient Egyptian as they did for the film (I once had a conversation with Stuart Tyson Smith, the Egyptologist who worked on the film). But then most people are not exactly fond of linguistics...pity... :rolleyes:
There are quite a lot of "demons" in mythology that one could use. I mean, Apophis wasn't a god either, but still omne of my favourite villains. Has anyone ever used Ammut (also spelt Ammit)? I can't remember. She is the monster that devours those whose heart has not passed the test in the underworld. I would love that.

Whew, I'm babbling again...sorry....

[FixxxeR]

So explain the ridiculous success of Friends. :P

you win this thread

[Ice^^Heat]

Well I hope in Atlantis we will get some Greek mythology to chew on!
Hmz, I was thinking, maybe a Hercules/Stargate Atlantis crossover????? ;)

I loved the Egyptian stuff, but I agree its secondary because the mythos are just interpretations of the alien events and slavery by the Ga'ould that ancient people wrote.

You're phsychic! :D I was trying to think of her name! I read those Lord Meron mysteries, and she was featured in one. They did get close to referencing her in Daniels speech at Shar'e's funeral. It was a reference to her heart being lighter than a feather. I was thrilled to see that ceremony, since I'd read about it.

I vote to bring Ammut into the Stargate universe. A moral villain, and a scary one would be so much fun!

But then where will we frustrated Egyptophiles go? A lot of "Stargate" fans love the Egyptian influence. We love to discuss how they use and misuse the mythology.

[Iskandra]

Especially the misuse :D I've had hours of fun with fellow students on that....going to the movies watching the film with a bunch of Egyptologists was also fun....

[Bast]

If it waisnt for the violence and the hatred toward westerners in the
Middleast I would have loved to visit egypt,My brother went to Moroco in 1991 the year of the persian gulf war and he said the locals hissed at you and said curses in arabic as you went by since they thought he was a american being a white guy.

His freind who was a pastry Chef ,Worked in a fancy 5 star hotel in Cairo egypt and lived there for 4 years, But he was forced to leave by the goverment after 9/11 they wanted all western foreigners to leave for their safety.

I always had great interest in Egypt and in history in general ,I always wanted too see a real pyramid , But because of the situation nowadays I went to mexico instead and saw the amazing Mayan pyramids which were fantastic and I got to learn about a different culture I knew little about.

Whats interesting is that all the cultures in the world from meso america too mespotamia,egypt and china all have flood myths that all have some striking simularities.

The Mayan flood myth was caused by the angry Wind and storm god Hurukan
which so happens to be were the word "Huricane" cames from .

I know a great deal about Egyptian,greek,Roman and norse mythologies.

The Roman mythology is a copy of the greek mythology, But they have some unique gods that were introduced into Roman culture when they asimulated the Etruscans and other barbarian tribes some of their gods were brought over into the Roman religions.

Is it true there is a version of the creation myth were RA was born out of a EGG?

[KokiriChild]

Is it true there is a version of the creation myth were RA was born out of a EGG?
Indeed there is, I can remember reading about it in Classical Civilisations in college, but beyond that I can't remember, sorry :S

Stargate was never about Egypt (IMO), it was about a race of aliens using humans as hosts trying to take over the world and personating our Gods in order to insight fear into the "lesser beings".

[Bast]

It was also about saluting alot ,Colonel Oneils buzz cut, Daneil Jacksons sneezing. Giant space ships landing on Pyramids , Jackson repeatedly reffered too as a Geek or a nerd.

Maybe not missed, just ill-used. My fanfic versions of Sekhmet and Thoth have both been Jossed, and I feel a certain bitterness that the one was replaced with a one-shot psycho and the other with a disposable science flunky. I wasn't too impressed with Setesh either, but then he always was a bit of a wally.

[KokiriChild]

Yeah, I thought that about Setesh at first, but then I remembered how much of a nookle he was meant to be

Maybe someone sends Seshat, the goddess of scribes, to avenge him? :D
