I was in my mythology class today and I just found out that Abydos is a real place in Eygpt. I know a lot of the Goa'uld and other things have mythology in them but then I started going through my mythology book and realized there are tons of mythology connection (some inacuate) in the Stargate universe. I mean there I know thats what the show is based on the Goa'uld being gods but I mean damn I didn't realize there was this many. Just thought I should share that and if anyone else wants to comminit on this go ahead. Also did you know that Osrisis is a man in mythology but a woman on Stargate just thought I should add that

The actual symbiote doesn't have a gender.
They just have preferences for their hosts.
Osiris always took male hosts, so is referred to as male.
It took Sarah as a host because it didn't have much choice She was around when it was freed from the jar. Why she didn't change hosts afterward is anyones guess. Perhaps his first experience as a female excited him, hehe.Thus it will come to pass... the dying leader will know the truth of the opera house... the missing 3 will give you the 5 who have come from the home of the 13th... you are the harbinger of death, Kara Thrace - you will lead them all to their end. End of line.

The explanation for the differences in Earth mythology is that the stories were told by word-of-mouth until they were scrolled down. Most of it was 2nd hand anyway. So there would clearly be inaccuracies.
In the SG Universe most Goa'ould are believed to have originated the myths, where only a few adopted mythological figures & posed as them.

The same thing with Selmak, when the Tok'ra was in the female body, she referred to it as "her and I." And over the series when you see Jacob, after being blended, he refers to Selmak as he.
The only thing that has gender with the Goa'uld is their names.

I recently went to an Egyptian Exibit and noted a few interesting facts which were different from the Stargate World.......
1.) In SG1 the first god is refered to and spelt as "Ra"
However in Egypt the name is spelt "Re", and pronounced as Ra but some pronounce it as Ray.
2a.) Hathor is another that is pronounced differently then in SG1. it should be pronounced as Hat-or.
b.) in methology she was the daughter of Isis and Osiris (who were brother and sisters and childen of Re.
c.) Re forbid the union and destroyed Osiris sending every part of him to different parts of the world. Only once Isis gathered every part of Osiris back together was she able to have Hathor.CARTER:
You spent seven years on MacGyver......and you can't figure this one out.......

I've always been into Sci Fi and Mythology, so when I found SG I found a show that fascinates me.Originally posted by G.B ShawSilence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
Martyrdom is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.
Criminals do not die by the hands of the law. They die by the hands of other men.
You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.
Americans adore me and will go on adoring me until I say something nice about them.

You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed but that he cannot believe anyone else.

And now my question to you...
What was the exhibition about? Was it about the whole of Ancient Egypts history or only a small part of it? Were there any cool stuff to see?Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
