We all know that the Ancients were very advanced before their ascension, but i have been wondering what they were like before they gained intergalatice travel, before the colonized the galaxies. Did they go threw what we did in (Not Stargate events) Were they as ignorant as we were and are now? Did they kill each other like we do now over extremelt trivial reasons? Did they start out in space with simple rockets and progress from there? What are your thoughts on this?

My answer would be that it depends on how far back you want to go. I'm fairly sure that if you go far enough back into Ancient History (no pun intended!), you would find that they were probably very similar to us. I'm sure they had wars, and rudimentary space travel to begin with, etc.,etc... Maybe something happened to them which brought them together and made them concentrate on personal advancement rather than self-destruction. From that point on, they began to work on advancing themselves towards ascension, technologically or otherwise.sigpic

I like to think that the Ancients were once a lot like we are now. They weren't born with advanced technology, after all. They probaby had wars and fought amongst themselves over stupid things, like we do. But maybe something happened that brought them together. Like discovering life on other planets. Tht can really bring a planet together.

The ancients likely can attribute their intelligence to using 90% of their brains 100% near ascensions (they had powers like healing and other stuff) so I am not too sure how their past was. I would think a human race who used 90% of their brains wouldn't live in any kind of dark ages for very long.

Well the Ancients are human so it is human nature to be spoilt, selfish and at times; evil. Obviously the Ancients reached the point in their civilisation where they were able to get past that 'human nature' and evolve to true greatness. As has been seen countless times with human planets in Stargate, many civilisationis haven't been able to get past that point in their civilisation and thus resulted in wars that destroyed their planet.sigpic

1. They were at war with themselves for millions of years and still were until recently. The Ori and the Ancients are genetically the same and so really are one species under different names and they were at war for at least 50 million years which is when the ancients left Earth.
So yes the Ancients fought wars with themselves.
2. Science and Religion brought together the two different sides in the Alterans people which soon split into the Ori and Ancients, or Lanteans whichever you prefer really.
