History

Egypt

The Egypt landscape, in 1928.

It was ruled by Ra From 8,000 BC to 3,000 BC. During his reign, he took some Ancient Egyptians from Earth and transported them to Abydos. He used the humans as slaves and made them build the Great Pyramids of Giza as it is known today, to use as landing sites for Ha'tak vessels. Around the year 3,000 BC, a rebellion took place, forcing Ra to flee from Egypt and Earth. (Stargate) (SG1: "Moebius, Part 1")

In 1928, Professor Langford discovered the alpha Stargate in Giza. The DHD was discovered by a German expedition before the discovery of the Stargate and was later recovered by the Russians many years later. (SG1: "Watergate")

In 2000, Osiris escaped from Earth with a starship located here, despite the efforts of Daniel Jackson, Samantha Carter and Janet Fraiser to stop Osiris. (SG1: "The Curse")

Alternate realities

Known locations

Behind the scenes

Much of Ancient Egyptian Mythology is used as one of the main storylines in the Stargate universe. For instance most Goa'uld were named after the gods from this period (Ra, Apophis, Hathor, Osiris, Heru'ur, Seth)
