Their civilization flourished and spread through the stars of the small galaxy. In the Pegasus Galaxy the Alterans (Ancients) seeded more than 1,000 worlds with new life. However, subsequent episodes changed or ignored this bit of history. At least one, perhaps more than one, Alteran remained behind, perhaps due to infection. In one episode it was suggested that he last surviving group of Alterans (Ancients) fled from the Earth in a flying city (not necessarily the same one their ancestors arrived in) that took them to the Pegasus Galaxy far, far away. Their alliance lasted a long time, but eventually the Alteran civilization succumbed to a great plague that devastated their worlds. At some point the Alterans (Ancients) entered into peaceful relations with the Asgard, the Nox, and the Firlings (according to most fansites, this happened after they abandoned Atlantis). The most significant artifact the Alterans (Ancients) left behind on Dukara was an immense weapon capable of wiping out all life across the stargate system.įrom their base on Dukara the Alterans (Ancients) settled many planets throughout the galaxy, connecting them with stargates. Dukara would later be the world where teh Goa’uld enslaved human warrior clans and transformed them into the Jaffa. After some unspecified length of time they arrived in the Milky Way galaxy and settled first on the world eventually called Dukara.
The Alterans (Ancients) instead fled their home galaxy in a city-sized spaceship. However, the Alteran leaders were unwilling to force the Ori to rethink their philosophies, fearing such forced persuasion would destroy the Ori’s sense of self. After a period of warfare between the two groups, the surviving Alterans (Ancients) created a weapon - the Ark of Truth - which could be used to convince the Ori to abandon their path of conquest and domination. These humans became divided into two groups: the Alterans (Ancients), who believed in individual choice, and the Ori, who appear to have been despotic and tyrannical. But let’s start from the beginning.Īpparently, the Ancients were descended from a very advanced race of humans who dwelt in a galaxy far from the Milky Way more than 4,000,000 years ago. We learned several seasons later that the Ancients’ civilization was devastated by a terrible plague and that the survivors of the race fled to the Pegasus galaxy. In “The Fifth Race”, the Asgard tell O’Neill that the Ancients vanished from “this region of space” a long time ago. SG-1 has already met the Nox by this time, but we never meet the Firlings. The Asgard tell O’Neal that the Ancients had once participated in an alliance of four races: the Ancients, the Nox, the Asgard, and the Firlings (Furlings?). Daniel Jackson’s belief that the stargates were older than the Goa’uld). With the help of the Asgard he recovers from the experience and brings back to Earth the knowledge that the stargate system was indeed built by a pre-Goa’uld civilization (confirming Dr. We first hear about the Ancients in an episode (“The Fifth Race”) where Colonel O’Neill accidentally downloads their database on a distant world. Alterans, the original colonists who became the Ancients, as depicted in ‘The Ark of Truth’.
#THE POWER OF THE ANCIENTS STARGATE MOVIE#
Their story has now finally been (mostly) fully told in the direct-to-DvD movie “Stargate: The Ark of Truth”. It took several years for the Stargate franchise to flesh out the mysterious gatebuilders, adding a new veneer of fact and mythology with each season of Stargate-SG1 and Stargate: Atlantis.
