Alpha Gate

The Alpha Gate was the Stargate found in Giza by Professor Paul Langford in 1928. Although it was the first found, it was actually Earth's second Stargate, as the original Stargate remained buried in Antarctica. When the Ancient Egyptians rebelled against Ra, they buried the Stargate. In 1994, Doctor Daniel Jackson discovered the point of origin symbol for the Alpha Gate. When the Replicators took over the Biliskner, SG-1 beamed the Alpha Gate up to the ship. The Russians recovered it, but buried their gate after their own Stargate Program was shelled. The Alpha Gate was leased to Stargate Command after Anubis destroyed the Beta Gate.
