Ortus Mallum

Ortus Mallum (the birthplace of all evil in the Book of Origin) is a mountain which was the original home to the Alterans. It was at Ortus Mallum where the Ark of Truth was first created. When the Alteran left Ortus Mallum they did so in a ship which burst out from within out of the mountain causing it to partially collapse and bury the village. It was here where the Ark remained until SG-1 arrived on the planet and Daniel Jackson, Vala Mal Doran, and Teal'c discovered it. After they had found it they were ambushed and captured by the Ori army. Danial and Vala were taken to the City of Celestis while Teal'c was left behind and believed to be dead.
