It seems no other ancient was able to do this?

How did Moros retain ALL his ascended knowledge and many powers?

If they descend to a level of human evolution close to what it was when they first ascended, their brain would be able to hold a lot more information, not all of it but a fair amount. But that doesn't explain why Orlin didn't do that in the fourth horseman. Although the others let him descend, so they probably dictated the conditions of his warning to the SGC, and made him come back as a boy so that he couldn't retain lots of knowledge. So yes, I would imagine Moros broke the rules, so he would have the ability to retain knowledge.
Question 2, you are in the desert, you see a tortoise lying on his back, in the hot sun. You recognize his plight but do nothing to help, why?
because… you are also a tortoise.
O’NEILL: No. No. Full well expected the other shoe to drop eventually.
THOR: We can only hope this will be the last footwear to fall.

wow. No one came up with this theory?
He recreated himself inside a human woman and she gave birth to him. He genetically modified himself to grow at a faster rate, thus, reassuming the figure of Moros/Merlin within a matter of days. Just like Adria. Simple.Hallowed are the Xander. Love, Worship, and Rep/Green your all-powerful, omniscient God!

Maybe there weren't enough other ascended beings yet to control him. Doesn't it generally take a combined effort for the ancients to do that sort of thing?What if the hokey-pokey really is what it's all about?
Spoiler:I made a big decision a little while ago.
I don't remember what it was, which prob'ly goes to show
That many times a simple choice can prove to be essential
Even though it often might appear inconsequential.
I must have been distracted when I left my home because
Left or right I'm sure I went. (I wonder which it was!)
Anyway, I never veered: I walked in that direction
Utterly absorbed, it seems, in quiet introspection.
For no reason I can think of, I've wandered far astray.
And that is how I got to where I find myself today.

I think if you descend on your own you can keep atleast most of thhe knowledge. Orlin the first time seemed to be able to remeber things from his ascension, and he did build the mini gate. The second time he was probably still being punished for descending the first time and the others obvioulsy knew he was going to do it so they had a hand in not letting him keep his knowledge.
Perfecto!

When Orlin descended in The Fourth Horseman he slowly lost his memories over the span of a few days. Merlin would have had the same problem, unless he had a way to restore his knowledge.
Perhaps the Repository of Ancient Knowledge that downloaded the ancient's knowledge into O'Neill's head was actually Merlin's backups copies of his ascended knowledge.
Anytime Merlin started to forget things, he'd stick his head in the repository and come out remembering everything.Jarnin's Law of StarGate:
