I was just thinking about "Ark of Truth," and how the Alterans created the Ark to convince the Ori's human followers that the "gods" they believed in were not gods at all, just powerful beings... but that makes no sense, no given the time period.
The Ancients didn't ascend until they returned to Earth from Atlantis (at least in mass numbers; some did in Pegasus), many millions of years after their initial exodus from their home galaxy. So that would mean that the Ori, like the Alterans, were nothing more than advanced humans at the time, right? The Ori weren't ascended yet, and wouldn't for thousands of more years (if not millions), so they couldn't be the god-like beings they appear to be now in our time.
Furthermore, how could there even be human followers? Humans as we know them weren't created until the Dakara device created life in the Milky Way, because that was the Ancients seeding life in the best form they knew; themselves. It's possible the Ori did this in their own galaxy, but it would have been after the Alterans fled.
Thoughts? This interpretation may not be right, as it just kind of... well, came to me, but I still think it merits pointing out.
