    getting the gates where they are

    the ancients brought them on their spaceships i guess.

    in the show they don't explain how the gates got to the different planets or if they were built on the individual planets. and there isn't a probable way (as of now) for the ancients to bring them to the individual planets.
    (comments on if i'm wrong would be nice)

            thats wierd, ?Clock started this thread and his post is second and nimitz reply is first
            but anyway the ancients surely had transport ships, for a race that advanced they must have had some sort of transport ships
            The doctor told me Im insane, thank God! its so much better then being outsane!

              Transportation by ships are one possibility but there are also others, some include, transportation, or also the creation of artificial wormholes, so in this case, the Ancients were able to create and artificial wormhole to a point in space, from another point in space, just a wormhole, no Stargate, and they were able anchor the ends of the wormholes in position, or even have them move, but remain at an exact point on a planets' surface, then they sent the Stargate through and it came out there. Or a combination, they did as I previously said with the wormholes, but also transported the gates through, to assure they ended up in the correct intended positions.

                Orlin showed how easy it would be to create a Stargate so i think that if any type of Ancient ship could have been used to create Stargates and DHDs.

                the Ancients could just have explored space normally and when they came across a suitable planet, build a stargate on the ship and left it behind.

                it would probably have been the same way the Tollan got their gate, the Nox went to the planet and built one, or helped them build one

                  I would think that rather than wasting time and energy "building" a gate, in the traditional sense of the word, they would have simply materialized it, this would be easier and faster as well. Not to mention entirely possible, with the Ancients level of technology at the time.

                    i dont think so owen maybe they would have done that later. And that is freaky that my reply is the first post.I agree with eoin it was probally transpotred with transport ships which would have a hyperdrive.

                      That's an interesting idea... rather than trasporting gates whole.. they simply transported the raw materials and naquadah necessary and stored the gate patterns. When they got to the site, they simply used the pattern in a transporter like device and rematerialized the naquadah and other materials in that specific form. That would be very very cool.

                          Re: Unamed, Atlantis apears to be far newer than the gate network.
