Having watched The Rising part 1 in syndication yesterday I finally had a chance to watch the recording hologram diligently and the woman speaks very clearly that they intended to seed life in a galaxy where there appeared to be none. She goes on to state that in time over 1,000 worlds bore the fruit of life. Until one day they stepped foot on a planet where a terrible enemy slept. The Wraith culled the planets seeded with life like a scourge until only Atlantis was left.
I don't know why I never recognized before but IMO the wraith were already in the galaxy when the Atlanteans arrived but had already devoided the life of the galaxy and had to go into a slumber or they risked dying of starvation. The Atlanteans gave them all the fuel they needed to mount a war by seeding 1,000 worlds with bountiful populations. Thats why the Wraith are now showing signs of internal strife and division. They know there isn't enough food to go around for them all.
Something tells me the Atlanteans just did a quick surface scan and since the entire Wraith population was in a deep slumber they didn't detect their life signs since we know the life sign detector didn't work in a previous episode "The Defiant One"
