um, might be asking an opposite, but is this an alternative timeline, since in the first Atlantis episode, a city I assummed was Atlantis was taking off indicatedbout 50,000,000 years ago from 2004
i very sincerely doubt the 50 million figure is even correct. it's simple mathematics.
the 50 mil figure only occurs ones, in dating the Stargate. now datings CAN be off. since Destiny was launched a the Height of the Ancient Empire yet contains a gate predating all else, it's likely that the current type of gate did not enter service until 10 million years ago, give or take a few. notice that Atlantis has TWO figures backing it up, namely Ayanna's age (7 million years) AND Daniel's figure of 5-10 million years. Atlantis left after or at the end of the Plague. the Ancients were capable of ascension at the plague, thus they became obsessed with it earlier. given the 2000 year timeframe between the Seeder Ships and Destiny, it definitely was a long term project, but even then i wouldn't place it much further back than some 15 million years ago, given -even then- it's meagre average speed. unless the last drift (Sabotage stated it drifted the last part in the previous galaxy trip) was many millions of years, which i doubt, Destiny can not be that old, definitely not 50 million years.
