Ancient technology

"We're talking about the Gate Builders here. They did everything big."

- Daniel Jackson

The Ancients' technology is much more advanced than that of the Tau'ri, other humans, the Goa'uld, and the Wraith.

Overview
The technology of the Ancients is far more advanced than that of the Tau'ri, the Goa'uld, and the Wraith. Ori technology, which may have been created with ascended knowledge by the Priors, or the most recent Asgard technology, come close in certain respects. Noted for its massive redundancies and the extensive use of control crystals, Ancient technology is remarkably similar, in both appearance and function, to that of the Ori, as they both once lived together as one society: the Alterans.

Among their many achievements, the Stargates and Atlantis are their most famous, but they have also developed technology as diverse and complicated as flying cities, advanced healing devices and power sources, long-range communication devices, seek-and-destroy projectiles, and even genetic manipulation devices. Much of the Ancients' weapons technology was used in, or designed for use during, the centuries-long war with the Wraith in the Pegasus Galaxy.

As a safeguard, most Ancient technology requires the presence of the ATA gene to use, but some instances have only required the gene to activate it. In such cases, once active anyone can use the technology, regardless of whether or not they possess the gene.
