Gerak's System Lord Mark - SPOILER FOR SG-1 SEASON 9

[lionel_pendergast_rocks]

Forgive me if this has already been stated somewhere, because if so, I haven't seen it, but does anyone know what system lord mark is on Gerak's head? I don't think we've seen it before. Hopefully they will say on friday, but I have just been wondering for a while...

[Osiris]

Gerak is the prima of Atum.

Atum is an egyptian god whose main shrine was at Heliopolis along with Ra-Horakhty (Ra Horus of the horizon).
To simplify, Khepri is the young sun (the morning), Ra or Ra-Horakhty the adult sun (zenith) and Atum the old sun (end of the day).

Hope it helps.

thanks, man. how did you find that out? was it over on the homepage or something?

[Osiris]

You're welcome!

It was mentionned on the early sesaon 9 spoilers. (Origin if I remember well).

[oragans]

i did not know that thanks.

[Osiris]

I think we'll learn more about him in "Origin".

He has MY mark on his head. Come to think of it, he's getting a bit big for his britches.

well, hoho. you must not have been a very nice god to have lou gosset jr leave your service.

Anybody know of any reference linking Atum to the symbol - theres nothing here http://www.chevron26.com/mythology/esymbol.html

[Osiris]

I think it's the sun with two uraei on the lower part and two scepters (ouas-scepters maybe?) on the upper.

Atum was also worshipped as the chief royal deity from the Middle Kingdom through the New Kingdom at Karnak and Luxor. When viewed as a component of Ra, Atum symbolizes creation, both of the world and of the Egyptians themselves.

Nope, he wasn't the chief royal deity during the Middle Kingdom or the New Kingdom at Karnak or Luxor. It was Amun not Atum.

not every goauld is a system lord. atum was a minor one. system lords are the most powerful goauld only

[Giantevilhead]

Gerak served the great and powerful Oz, one of the strongest of the Goa'uld system lords, and whose name alone brought fear into the hearts of men.

[NakedJehutyV2]

whatever he was just a minor goauld
