so they left atlantis behind

[sinderg]

so they've got a few ZPM's.

why leave Atlantis behind, why not fly it back to earth.

The ZPMs may have been depleted by then, alot can happen in 25 years. My thinking is that a new threat arised in the Milky Way and all resources had to be recalled from Atlantis including any ZPMs they had.

[wraith form Replicator]

Maybe earth learned everything they could and built their own flying city or two.

I tend to think Earth destroyed itself, and with no more resupply runs from Earth and no humans left in Pegasus, the survivors just left to another world in MW.

either that or they all ascended

Umm... then how come Rodney went to the SGC to see Lorne? Or was that just another facility they built to resemble the SGC?

[melfan]

They had no one to fly. Sheppard was the stronger gene carrier, and he might be the only one, a part from the ancient who can fly the city

[jenks]

His gene isn't 'stronger' he just has a more natural ability to use it, it's a talent if anything. I'm sure if he could fly it then anyone else with the gene could too.

[Raere]

46,000 years is a long time, think of all the leaps and bounds humanity had grown by in the last 11 years (start of the SGC). What do you think 46,000 years would do? We'd probably outgrow Atlantis. That's also assuming the human race would still be around in 46,000 years. They've been nearly wiped out by the G'oauld and the Ori in the last 11 years, there's a good chance they would come up against something they couldn't handle.

that was only 25 years in the future, they probably left the city long (well probably not too long ) after that

But not as good

We have been artifically advanced. We would get to the point where there was nothing else to artifically advance us and then we would be stagnant in technological growth until we caught up to the Ancients in brain power and intelligence which would likely take hundreds of thousands of years or more.

RODNEY (to lorne): you saw what happened in pegasus, you see what's happening here


Something bad is happening in the MW

Yup. Michael is in MW maybe.

[GoSpikey]

Yup. Michael is in MW maybe.

I was thinking the same...

[Wayston]

I guess they just upped and left atlantis - there was no visible battle damage of any kind, there is no reason why either Michael (or other enimies) or the humans would leave atlantis up for grabs unless they were either all dead or neither had really, really had no conceivable use for it any more. my bet is that they eventually overcame whatever it was they were up against and then they all ascended
