Professor Paul Langford, while leading a team for artifacts near the Great Pyramids in Giza, Egypt discovered a large metal ring-like object buried in the sand. This artifact would later be named a Stargate. This discovery would lead Earth into galactic conflicts and adventures and make it a galactic power in the Milky Way galaxy.

Aftermath

Following the discovery of the Stargate Langford and his daughter spent the next eleven years studying the artifact until it was activated by Doctor Wilhelm Brücke of the German Reich.

In 1939, the Stargate was transported to the United States of America aboard the Achilles prior to the outbreak of World War II.

In 1945, Langford, along with Doctor Ernest Littlefield were able to successfully activate the Stargate and sent Dr. Littlefield to the planet Heliopolis.

In 2002, Major Samantha Carter compared the development of the X-302 as being the biggest breakthrough since the discovery of the Stargate.

In 2009, Dr. Nicholas Rush told Chloe Armstrong that he believed that the Destiny was the important discovery mankind had made since the Stargate.
