If separate timelines in history exist in the world of Moebius, then we can assume that the timeline of the SGC from where SG1 went back into time continued on without SG1, and probably replaced them with a new team and continued on their adventures with a whole new history of dealing with the Ori, etc.
Sam kept saying that they could not do anything to change or affect history, but the very fact that they couldn't return to their own time changed history forever, and in fact the future history of Earth could have been altered completely because they were not available to fight the Ori, etc.
On the other hand, the SGC timeline of the altered history that developed because SG1 was lost in the past also went on its own way without virtually any knowledge of the world of stargates at least compared to the original world of Stargate SGC.
And finally, the third timeline had a whole SGC with knowledge of the ZPM after finding the second video (I presume they never encountered the first video that the second SG1 had found when they went back).
So there were THREE different histories going on, all as a result of the inability of SG1 to return to their own time. Now I ask you, WOULD IT HAVE BEEN WORSE had SG1 defeated the Jaffa who discovered their ship originally in terms of altering future history than what resulted from their decision to remain in ancient Egypt?
How much different could future history have become by virtue of them killing the Jaffa? Is it all dependent on the possibility that Ra would have taken the stargate with him? And if he HAD, the very worst that could have happened was that they would have returned to an Earth in the puddle jumper that knew nothing of the stargate program at all and might have been totally unknown in their own original world. BUT is that WORSE than living out their life in ancient Egypt, especially when anything they did in their lives in Egypt could itself have affected the future such as a failed uprising against Ra??
