SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the mechanics and implications of the Stargate system from the television series "Stargate SG-1." Key questions include the necessity of six symbols for navigation, the advantages of this system over traditional 3D coordinates, and the consistency of constellation symbols across different Stargates. Participants debate the plausibility of a geo-centric system and the historical context of the symbols used, particularly regarding the Ancients' influence on human astronomy.

Also, why is your post count 0 even though you have posted three times in this thread alone?

His post count is zero because posts in GD don't count towards that.

Despite the lack of a head-on attack, many skirmishes and bloody battles raged on for several centuries and, somehow, Ra found himself leaving his Unas host in order to take the body of the Asgard Famrir. However, the Asgard physiology began to reject Ra. Worse, in 9,177 BC, he was injured in a battle with the Asgard. Fleeing his Asgard pursuers, Ra found a lush world in an alien system; Earth.

Within the movie, when Ra became angry the outline of his original alien humanoid form could be seen within the host. This portion is contradicted by Stargate SG-1, where the true Goa'uld is a serpent-like creature which occupies the brain stem in order to control the host. The contradiction is not addressed in the series, but assumed by many fans to simply be artistic license.

There.
