And, really, SG-1 was supposed to end and Atlantis was supposed to take over. It just didn't happen that way so the two series ran concurrently with one another. We do see ancient tech through to the end of SG-1, though.sigpicThanks to Oma-1 for the beautiful banner!

Hell, I'm beginning to think earth is a stargate factory, no other planet has this many.
And so the gate on Atlantis would be considered the main gate because it is connected to its original power source.
Earth must have been a center of power for the Ancients (and later the goa'uld) so when one gate went missing, it was replaced fairly quickly.sigpicThanks to Oma-1 for the beautiful banner!

So I would be interested to see how they wrote around it.

Now, they worked around the problem of the Antarctic gate having a DHD, but Atlantis also has a DHD, so it'd no doubt have main priority.
So I would be interested to see how they wrote around it.
The Egyptian gate wasn't on Earth during the reign of the Ancients. It was brought to Earth by the Goa'uld several thousand years ago. By that time the Antarctic gate, unknown to the Goa'uld, has fallen into disuse.
The Pegasus Gate that we're all familiar with in SGA probably didn't exist on Earth. Likely it, and the entire Pegasus gate system was built after Atlantis arrived in Pegasus. This makes sense since this gate network had completely different symbols.
That leaves us with one gate, the Antarctic gate, which we know to be some 50 million years old. Although I can't say for certain this was the intention of TPTB, it is quite likely the Antarctic gate was the original gate in the Atlantis gate room during the Ancients' very lengthy time span on Earth as Atlantis was part of the MW gate system at that time. The gate was removed and left behind when the city blasted off for Pegasus.
In short, there was only one gate active on Earth at any one time.
Hopefully that makes the whole scenario a bit tidier.Last edited by Professor D.H.D. Puddlejumper; 23 December 2008, 06:18 PM.My timeline of the Ancients here.
