How did the human expelled the Goa'uld?

[Colonel Vincent MacLeod]

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?

[Lord of Nightmares]

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.

we've seen it in moebius and stargate movie

[The Great Lord Baal]

I wonder maybe its the fact that Ra didnt seem to travel with many jaffa or it could be that this when then goauld just started to gain power and there armies were small or it could be that the likes of Ra,s domain was so large he couldnt police them all.

[Colonel Vincent MacLeod]

I am really puzzled, why they would just left Earth allow themself to be humilated by the defeat from Tau'ri. This will greatly reduce the moral of their Jaffa and slaved. They just need 1 Alkesh to teach those rebel a lesson. Can't they even spare 1 Alkesh???

the stargate movie isnt part of sg-1 it was childron of the gods when the dirctor decided to do a spon-off shows from that

You're right, the movie is not an episode of SG-1. However, SG-1 is a direct continuation of the movie. "Children of the Gods" is the sequel, and numerous episodes refer to the movie.

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

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.

As for the first part of the asnwer, yes they did use the movie as reference.

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.

[Giantevilhead]

The Goa'uld were not the only aliens to go to earth. Enemies of the Goa'uld have visited earth. It is likely that one of those other races helped drive the Goa'uld out and protect earth.

[FallenAngelII]

They didn't expel the Goa'uld. They rose up against Ra. One Goa'uld.

[Cycrow]

y would ra spend time and effort trying to stop the ppl from revolting on a planet that was hardly used by the gou'ald anymore.

instead of just going to another planet where they worship him

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?

[Colonel Vincent MacLeod]

Yes, Ra the God of Sun, as well as the SUPREME System Lord of the Goa'uld. What will you as a minor System Lord think if the SUPREME System Lord ass has been kicked by minor humans? We are talking about their position as God. The stake is high. They should'nt easily left Earth just like that after have their asses been kick.

Wiping out Earth will prove that anyone who defy the God will have to submit their life. Their philosophy is almost similiar to Ori, if you dun bow before me, die .

[Colonel Vincent MacLeod]

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.
