But let's go ahead and get into this.
Do they have an actual name?
Uh, yes.
The Altairons, I believe.
Huh.
Yeah, the Altairons.
What do they look like?
Human.
Motherfuckers.
Like nothing special.
Motherfuckers.
You, you un, un, uh, what's the word?
Uncreative fucks.
All right.
So on the last episode, 30 or not last episode, but the last episode that we talked about
this episode 33, we covered the Asgard's and then we had a little bonus episode for the
Knox and the Furlings.
So we are, we are on the fourth of the four great races.
Where are the humans at?
What a great race.
We're above them all actually.
There's actually an episode called the fifth race.
They try to explain that.
Uh, all righty, so the ancients, uh, or the ancients, uh, also known as the ancestors,
the Lantians and gate builders or and quit us in their language.
Were they Mexican?
Don't worry guys.
The Mexican, calm down.
Don't be putting the hate mail in there.
It's fine.
Uh, well, something with the ancient man, how's it going, man?
We made all the stargates man.
Who else would be the main?
How to rock.
So that's what we do, man.
I can't even do a good Mexican accent myself being Mexican.
That's the sad part.
But basically, uh, they are ethereal ascended beings at this point with near infinite knowledge
and powerful abilities.
The ancients are descending for a dissent.
I don't know.
I mean, can I still, you know, can I still do the do?
Uh, they can turn themselves back into mortal beings.
So you start banging and then dip back.
So that's all I would do.
I come back down and bang a lot and leave.
Uh, the ancients are descended from the, uh, from those altarans that fled the Ori and
a distant galaxy and were one of the most advanced races known to the Ori was still
around the way at the time that the altarans existed.
And then they both ascended in different ways.
Wait, the Ori, I'm thinking, I'm confusing them with the other ones, the ones with the
parasite.
Oh, the glow world.
My band, my band.
Yeah.
The Ori are basically, uh, you have, uh, it'd be like if you were considering the same group
of people, one are devoted to science and one are devoted to religion.
Oh, sounds very, sounds highly familiar.
Yeah.
That's kind of how they took this anyway.
Uh, they were the most, uh, one of the most advanced races known to ever existed in the
Milky way galaxy and reigned for millions of years as a secular and science oriented
power reaching their level of technology long before the Taori, which earth evolved on earth
and were known as the builders of the star gates.
So they're the ones that actually create the star gates.
That's cool.
Uh, they follow a rule of non interference because the temptation to manipulate and align
lower life forms is in some order for one self purpose could result in this type of
abusive corruption and have a great place in the mythologies and cultures and other
civilizations so they don't want to interfere.
Just help them out.
Who cares?
I mean, okay, if they're, let's look at it from the point of view, like we help animals
in danger, right?
You know, right.
Exactly.
Like, well, you're, you're not, you're helping us.
That's all.
Right.
So we're not helping with the oil spill.
Bear in mind, that's usually our fault, but whatever.
All right.
So we have a little bit of history for the ancients here.
Uh, we have the first Exodus basically hundreds of millions of years ago, the altarans, the
first evolution of humanity in four galaxies total, like out of all these four galaxies,
only the altarans were the first like human type beings, uh, lived together as a, uh,
one society on an evolutionary path to ascension in the altaran home galaxy.
A split then occurred among the altarans, dividing them into the Ori and the altarans,
uh, the Ori who were more religious while the remaining altarans were more secular and
science oriented.
Eventually the Ori became so extreme in their beliefs that they tried to wipe out all of
the altarans.
The altarans numbers were far too few and they were ultimately forced to hide their
ways.
Uh, though they considered using their knowledge to defend themselves, they faced a war of
attrition, one that would ultimately, uh, they believed they could not win to avoid
genocide.
The altarans had built a ship, a jeep, and they left their galaxy while the Ori remained.
Uh, they both eventually ascended, but they're patented.
They left.
They, then they, they dropped three nukes before they went.
I would do like I'm retreating, but guess what?
I'm gonna leave a bomb.
Fuck this planet.
Uh, all right.
Then they have the Milky way section of their history.
Uh, after many thousands of years and 50 plus million years ago from today's date, the
altarans discovered the Milky way galaxy and they first colonized the planets, the Kara
and Tara, uh, which would later be known as earth.
So Tara became earth and that's where we get the name Tara or terrain and stuff like that.
It's all from the agents.
Um, the altarans evolved into the ancients, uh, who built many of Astria, Porta, basically
star gates.
Okay.
What the fuck is that?
Developed a zero point modules, zero point modules are like infinite, almost, uh, energy
supplies.
Okay.
Uh, and established colonies from Dakara on many of the other planets in the Milky way,
most notably, uh, Tara, which is earth, um, the percolar rush, to know if his urban P3
R two seven two and Heliopolis.
I like how they all have names for that one.
It's a bunch of numbers.
The biggest reason being is that that's what Stargate command named it.
So they don't know the actual name of the planet.
Uh, the earliest outposts are all thought to be established between 175 million years
and 50 million years ago around when they were also building the destiny, which is where
we have a Stargate universe from ship that needs to go into the sun to recharge.
Yeah.
But think about it.
They had technology where it can recharge itself in a sun.
Yeah.
And then they were freaking out that episode because they were doing everything they could
to get away from the sun.
Yeah.
And then they thought, Oh, it charges it.
Wow.
All that stuff I said to you, nevermind.
Nevermind.
Uh, let's see here.
And they also created the seed ships at the time to travel throughout the universe.
What was that?
What was that ship for?
For exploring the universe.
What the hell did they?
Cause they were trying to, if I remember right, the destiny, which is the name of the ship
was trying to find the microwave, the source of microwave background radiation of the universe.
That was his goal is to literally find anything.
Why they, they did like that ship just took them off.
Didn't it?
It was already going in its own direction.
Like it wasn't being manned or anything.
It was literally, and they got on it and then they got stuck on there or some shit.
Yeah.
Damn.
Oh, they eventually were able to dial back, but, uh, God, what was his name?
Uh, the side of the lead scientist.
Apparently he was quite the Dick.
Yeah.
If I recall.
Yeah.
Uh, their knowledge spread throughout the galaxy, uh, evident by the structures they
left behind and the repository of knowledge.
At some point during this time, they also formed an alliance with the Asgard Knox and
the furlings becoming a superpower within the galaxy.
Yeah.
Then we have the second Exodus.
So they, we had the first Exodus from their own home galaxy.
Yeah.
Now we have the second Exodus, uh, approximately five to 10 million years ago, a virulent plague
nearly wiped out all of the ancients, uh, originating at the construction site for one
of their new capitals of this urban, uh, the deadly disease would spread across much of
the galaxy.
Uh,
I'm just saying.
Cause again, this was before they had ascended.
So they were still in human form.
It's quite the prevalence of sexual diseases.
Yeah.
Uh, they attempted to travel back in time, probably.
They did them die in a syphilis.
Oh God, that would suck.
Uh, they even tried to travel back in time to stop the plague from spreading.
Hey, don't you fuck that monkey.
But their efforts were unsuccessful.
He was going to fuck that monkey or that bat or that whatever, whatever they bang.
Why is it when a fucking nasty motherfucker has decided to bang something, everyone has
to suffer because of it.
The fuck is wrong with you?
You're the condom.
Uh, unable to cure it.
The surviving ancients left earth, uh, in a huge space born city, which they named Atlantis
and they made Atlantis.
I forgot about that.
And they headed to the Pegasus galaxy at that point.
Then we have when they returned back to the Milky way galaxy.
After the desperate departure from Atlantis, uh, 10,000 years ago, the ancients returned
earth upon their return.
The ancients found humans in a hunter gatherer stage of evolution.
They killed them all.
Uh, the ancients were unable to restart their empire.
So many ancients bred with the native humans and set up a nasty phrase.
We don't want to interfere.
We're going to fuck them.
We're not going to interfere with it.
We're going to fuck the shit out of relief.
You lied.
Something to me.
You're my ass.
Exactly.
Uh, and set a path for their future and created a future civilizations while others went on
and the syndrome.
So you still had, you had some of them to, I love you, but I just, I gotta, I gotta,
I'm sorry.
Um, even after the race advantage from the galaxy, their knowledge lived on as the asgard
study piece of, uh, pieces of it for possibly centuries or thousands of years.
I said in the recordings that they took of them, fucking the, uh, pre humans, the average
is watching them over.
No, that was nasty.
They're all just filthy as fuck.
Uh, Thor has Thor had said, we have studied the ancients repository of knowledge for as
long as I can remember, but we have still barely scratched the surface.
It would later be used on multiple occasions, including saving the asgard from destruction
by the replicators.
Eventually the ancient Merlin would de ascend, uh, himself.
Guess who's back.
After coming to believe that the Ori were a threat that needed to be destroyed as Merlin
began building a weapon capable of destroying ascended beings and was doing so with, uh,
ascended knowledge.
The ancients assigned Morgan Lafay, a rival to Merlin to watch over and stop him if necessary.
Eventually Merlin completed his weapon, but Morgan destroyed it as she was ordered to
by the other as ascended ancient.
However, Morgan came to believe that the Ori were the threat that more Merlin for Saul and
hit Merlin and stasis.
So if necessary, he could one day rebuild the weapon again.
Then we have the, uh, she basically hid it from the others.
Yeah.
Cause she basically hid that knowledge from the rest of the ancients.
I'm like, yo, how about you write it down in this book and I just store this book so
you don't have to be frozen.
Boy, whatever.
Okay.
Whatever.
Then we have the Ori crusade.
So eventually due to the actions of Dr. Daniel Jackson and Valar Maldoran,
Daniel Jackson, George Chastain's women.
Look what happens.
Yeah.
What was Vala here?
Uh, the ancient old enemy, the Ori became aware of the existence of human life in the
Milky way galaxy and began a crusade to convert all species of the galaxy to origin, which
is their religion, uh, in order to gain more power with the intention to confront the ancients
and battle and destroy them.
And again, this is between two ascended.
So they're pure energy at this point.
The Ori were already ascended too.
So they had ascended early on as well.
That's confusing me.
So they're like, let's, let's all go to heaven.
No, we'll still keep fighting anyway.
Well, it's not necessarily heaven.
It's just a higher plane of existence itself.
So they're not necessarily like there's, they're not beside each other within an ascended space.
They're just in the same level.
What's this?
I don't understand this, uh, religion.
What, what, what do they want?
What do they preach?
The Ori power.
Power.
That's the one power.
Like it's, it's the most simple of all answers.
They just want power.
Um, in order to avoid inciting the ancients directly until they were ready.
The Ori sent priors and human followers to do their work of conversion, even managing
to impregnate Valamaldoran to give birth to an Ori in human form named Adria.
To lead their armies as Adria was human at the time.
However, the ancients did little or to nothing to stop the members of their race from acting
to help as long as they didn't do it directly as an ascended being.
The ancients allowed Orlan, which is Merlin to, uh, deacin to explain everything to the
Taori.
Oh, excuse me.
Orlan is not Merlin.
Okay.
I'm like, what?
You got a weird name.
I was reading it as something totally different.
So my mistake.
They allowed Orlan to deacin to explain everything to the Taori to help develop a cure for the
prior plague.
They allowed Morgan to subtly inform Daniel and Vala of where to start looking for the
Sangral, Merlin's anti Ori weapon, and didn't interfere when she revealed herself until
she tried to tell them exactly where to look.
And despite the fact that the Sangral, which is this weapon, was being built by Merlin's
advanced knowledge and had the risk of falling into Adria's hands and being used against
them.
They let Daniel, Jackson and SG-1 finish and ultimately deploy the weapon.
SG-1 theorized that they did this either as they knew it would work and wanted it to,
or knew it wouldn't and thus didn't care while Adria believed that they did.
And basically they erased all the Ori from existence with this weapon.
They just destroyed them all.
All these ascended beings.
Should have stayed in your own house then.
So either way, the Ori were destroyed, but Adria, which is this Ori in human form at
this point, took their position and power when she ascended after the rest of them had
been destroyed.
So there's only one now.
Adria.
Ain't that lonely.
I bet she gets all their power now.
Like a lot?
Like their power.
Okay.
Because the Ori, they get their power from worship of their followers at this point.
So they're basically taking all that life energy and they get power.
Let's see here.
Adria took their position and power when she ascended and the ancients were forced to keep
her from continuing her work in the Milky Way as an ascended being.
Despite this, the threat to them had been mostly removed, but at least Morgan, who had
been exiled for her actions, but not forced to return to human form, believed that the
humans of the Milky Way deserve the ancients help with dealing with the Ori followers as
killing the Ori had saved the ancients and began acting as a lead SG-1.
She was leading them to the Ark of Truth, which is a weapon that the ancients had.
All they got is weapons laying around everywhere.
The Ark of Truth is a device capable of brainwashing anyone exposed to it, to whatever truth is
programmed in it.
In this case, the Ori's aren't gods.
So Morgan began to interfere again.
The ancients didn't intervene to stop her, perhaps acknowledging that she was right,
and she was able to act more openly as she ended up going to the Alteran home galaxy,
where the only other ascended being that was Adria at this point.
With the efforts of Morgan and SG-1, the Ori followers learned the truth about their gods,
and Adria's power was diminished to the point that Morgan was able to engage her in eternal
battle and then the threat of the Ori and their threat to the ancients once and for
all.
Cat fight.
Yeah, for eternity.
For eternity.
Just constant fighting.
Between the two of them.
So Morgan, Lafay, and Adria are still fighting to this day.
They're fighting to this day.
Yep.
It's going to be like Peter and the Chicken.
Like, truce.
Truce?
Truce.
Like a billionaire from Retrus.
And then like, one of them lets her guard down, and the other one sucks her in the face.
Alright, so over tens of millions of years of their existence, the ancients gradually
evolved to become much more advanced than baseline humans, and their neurological makeup
of the ancients was much more complex than that of an average human.
As their brains further evolved, their intelligence and capacity to store knowledge greatly increased,
allowing them to develop some of the most advanced technology encountered thus far.
Towards the end of their evolutionary development, but still before they had ascended, they also
developed various advanced mental powers, including extraordinary senses abilities and
the ability to heal others with touch.
Oh nice, you couldn't kill from a plague, could you?
Partial telepathy and powerful telekinesis.
The once-ascended Merlin returned to human form in the most advanced genetic state a
human could reach, with the ability to sense the presence of and activate a stargate by
just thought.
So, it's like almost magic at this point.
And generating energy beams created with his mind.
So this is how Merlin became based on his own.
Exactly.
It is likely that just before an ancient reaches ascension, this is the final evolutionary state.
Some types of ancient technology can also create this state in unevolved humans without
ascending them.
Within their genetic makeup with a particular gene, the so-called ancient technology activation
gene or ATA used to activate and interact with some of the most sensitive technology,
like the control chair, which is used to control Atlantis.
The Morbius chair?
Kind of, yeah.
You sit in it and you can control everything within the city of Atlantis all at once.
And make all the toilet stuff work?
Just, they're not working.
You ever been in a urinal recently?
Man, there's no flush there, is there?
The shit just sits there.
Depends on something.
Well, the ones that I used.
Just a pilot shit just sitting there.
Oh God.
You gotta pee, but for some reason there's a pile of shit.
There's a fucking t-shirts.
There's fucking just random trash in there.
Somebody spit some dip in there?
Probably, probably.
Like they lost their wallet in there, so they dug back in there to grab it.
Oh God.
I'm just saying that I had to take a piss today in a urinal.
They had to just like at the very top of this pile of trash, a nice good old dookie stain.
Oh my God.
Like Stan.
Did you shit in the urinal?
Which one of you shit in there?
Sure he was so obsessed with finding out who shit in the urinal.
They also could control with this gene the puddle jumpers, which are the little ships
that go through the stargate.
Oh yeah.
It is still unknown if the gene was naturally occurring within the ancient physiology or
the result of genetic manipulation.
Given its predecessors technology as the master code on destiny, a numeric sequence based
on the 46 chromosomes the ancients and humans share, it's likely that the ATA gene or the
ancient technology activation gene is based on something naturally occurring within their
genetic code.
Then we have their ascension.
Eventually, many of the ancients began to be able to separate from their physical bodies
and live eternally as pure energy on a higher plane of existence with an infinitely increased
capacity for knowledge, wisdom and unfathomable power, including the ability to destroy entire
armies and space fleets with a mere thought.
Pure energy can kind of do whatever you want.
Despite being an advanced industrialized society, the ancients seem to have a preference for
stone structures enriched with Náqueda for strength while in the Milky Way galaxy.
There were also two instances of a large monument with a thrown figure housing advanced technology,
such as the repository of knowledge, which is basically like a gigantic database.
You put your head into it, it grabs you and just shoves all the knowledge into your mind.
And the Dakara super weapon, which they used to destroy with the help of the Asgardians.
They destroyed the replicators with that weapon specifically.
Even their technology appeared stone like.
The star gates had their symbols engraved on them and they spun when dialing.
They were also known for writing information on stone tablets.
It is not known why this was.
However, it seems that any source of technology that would have proven useless because they
would have been able to...
Sorry, that's written horribly.
It is not known why this was, however, it seems that any source of technology would
have proven useless because they would also have to be on the same level of tech to even
extract that knowledge or information from it.
Náqueda enriched stone, which is a radioactive material.
Or just Náqueda for the star gates.
It seems is their preferred storage because of its ability to stay intact for millions
of years while paper would degrade and anything tech based would require a power source that
would eventually become depleted.
So they kind of forethought basically on how long their knowledge would last.
Smart use stone is eternal practically.
Pretty much.
And since this Náqueda material is lasting even longer than that.
However, starting from at least 30 million years ago, according to the star map that
they had found on about Atlantis, the ancients turned to a metallic looking architecture
displayed in the city of Atlantis.
Their form of architecture was continued during their existence in the Pegasus galaxy.
So while in a totally different galaxy they changed their material a little bit.
And let's make it look more metallic.
Probably because that's what they found there in abundance maybe, who knows.
Could be.
And then upon returning to the Milky Way galaxy they constructed a stone appearance again.
Make up your fucking mind.
One suggestion for this is that when compared with the ancient technology in the Milky
Way, the ancient structures in Pegasus are relatively new.
As for the ancient architecture created after the return to the Milky Way galaxy, most of
the ancients had ascended by then and the ones that were left wanted to fit in with
human culture of the time.
For example, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table.
So they wanted to keep it kind of lower tech looking.
So that way they weren't necessarily found out and having to explain how they know all
this stuff.
I'm just like, I'm a wizard.
Stop asking me stupid questions.
That's all I would have told them.
I'm a wizard.
Shut the hell up.
Before I lazy you in the face.
The ancients were well known for their belief of free will and will go through great lengths
to ensure that others are allowed to make their own decisions without outside interference.
The ancients believed in science, reason and logic, knowledge and enlightenment were fundamental
to their worldview.
They believed that the universe was to be studied and that scientific experimentation
was essential to gaining an understanding.
And another thing that they followed to a later was all the planets we travel to wherever
there's a setia being, we're going to fuck them.
That's why they forgot to add that part.
Most importantly, the ancients believed in free will.
They believe that the right to choose whatever a person wants to believe is more important
than anything else.
This has been to their detriment, however, as it has also been their very belief in free
will that forces them to respect the rights of the Ori in believing their fanaticism.
They also believe that they did not have the right to restrict the freedom of the followers
of the origin to believe in the Ori by brainwashing the true nature of the Ori into their followers
for much of the same reasons.
Retaining their beliefs of free will as well as rules of non-interference once they had
ascended the highest law of the ascended ancients is the following.
Do not accelerate the natural ascension process of those beneath or interfere in the natural
life and untimely death of any being.
To accelerate the natural ascension of any living being is a high crime among their people
and the others, which are like the, the unnamed ancients basically that are ascended.
They're the beings there.
They call them the others, but they're still ancients.
Like the ancients race, but they're not, they're just not named like specifically.
So like you have a Oma de Sala, which is a named ancient, but then all the people that
are ascended that are still part of that same race as her, they just call them the others
cause they don't ever name them.
Like it's a way to say the group of ancients.
Right.
So it's not just this old race.
That's what I'm saying.
The others are this race specifically.
Oh, is that them?
Yeah.
Okay.
But they call them the others cause they don't have individual names for all of them.
Those who follow their rules of non-interference have taken harsh measures against those who
break them.
Oma de Sala was an outcast for her efforts in helping others to ascend.
And she was forced to watch Anubis, which was a gold world, use his knowledge to conquer
the Milky way galaxy.
Orlan was also outcast when he used his powers to help the people of, of Elona to construct
an orbital weapon to protect themselves, but then intended to use the weapon against other
races.
Similarly, Shara Saur, which was sentenced to protect only the people of Proculus, uh,
when she destroyed a race fleet over her planet, even though she wasn't allowed to do that.
Uh, there is a real physical transfer.
I don't follow your rules, man.
Yeah.
Uh, there is a real physical transfer of energy to the Ori that occurs through a human beings
worship of them for it to have a measurable effect.
It requires, it requires massive numbers of humans relinquishing their will.
Uh, this is one of the main reasons the ancients have so strongly believed in street and non-interference
in the lower planes because the temptation to manipulate and align lower life forms and
some order for your own purposes could result in this type of abusive corruption as they
see it on top of this, the long-term dependence upon such power leads to vulnerability.
Vulnerability when and if those worshipers are removed as was demonstrated when the arc
of truth was revealed, showing that the Ori weren't gods.
Uh, the result was a weakened ascended being while still powerful with significantly weaker
than the ascended beings that they share the same plane with.
Uh, while this has led to what might be considered a draconian or cruel punishment to those who
violate this rule, it stems from their fierce belief in free will and that, uh, to use their
powers in such a way would make them no better than the Ori themselves.
So they don't want to force people to do stuff because if they do absolute power corrupts
absolutely.
They don't want to wait.
So the fact that they don't want to force people to do stuff is forcing people to do
stuff.
Yeah.
Like, uh, we won't let you do stuff.
Wait, that's completely contradicting to what they believe in.
Kind of, yeah.
Like you preach free will, but if I try to do something like we can't let you do that.
Well, what the fuck did you just tell me that?
What?
What the fuck?
You didn't tell me shit.
Yeah.
Wow.
Uh, by the time they had ascended, the ancients had gathered more knowledge than any other
known race.
Even now that knowledge is far superior to that of the Taori, which is the earth people,
the Goa-wold and the Wraith.
Only the Ori, uh, technology, which was mostly, uh, most likely created with ascended knowledge
by the priors, uh, and the Asgard's technology can compare to them.
Although the Asgard did admit that they had extracted parts of the ancients database and
had only been able to analyze a small part of it.
Uh, noted for its massive redundancies and the extent to extensive use of control crystals,
ancient technology is remarkably similar in both appearance and function to that of the
Ori as they both once lived together in one society, the Alterans.
Uh, or had been one society called the Alterans.
Uh, ancient, ancient technology is also the most resilient ever seen remaining intact
for millions of years without even minor signs of deterioration or decrease in performance.
Uh, of all their technological creations, the Stargates, Destiny, the ship, and Atlantis
are their most famous, but they have, uh, developed devices as diverse and complicated
as flying cities, advanced hailing devices, beaming technology, ZPM power sources, long
range communication devices, seeking destroyed projectiles, and even genetic manipulation
devices.
Uh, most of their weapons technology was designed and used during the centuries long war with
the Wraith in the Pegasus galaxy.
However, another return, uh, after returning to the Milky way, the ancients had no further
need for either more powerful weapons or defensive shields as their only potential enemies were
the far inferior Goa'uld.
So they became somewhat lacking when compared to other technological marvels created during
this time.
Uh, despite them not making many advancements in weapons or shielding technologies, the
ancients were still among the most powerful of races in the Milky way galaxy.
As example of this being that the latest weapons technologies employed by the Asgard science
vessel, the Daniel Jackson was ineffective when compared to the most advanced shields
employed by the Goa'uld Anubis.
Basically, he's a Goa'uld that tricked one of the ancients into helping him to ascend.
So he's an ascended being too at this point.
And they came back down?
Yeah, he got forced to a mid point.
So he's not a full mortal again, but he's not ascended.
He's stuck somewhere in the middle.
But he used all that, uh, all the knowledge he had gained when he ascended from the ancients
and is using that, he almost took over the entire galaxy at one point.
In comparison, the drone weapons that were able to decimate Anubis's entire fleet, despite
being thousands of years older than the Asgard weapons that had tried and failed.
As a safeguard, most ancient technology requires the presence of the ATA gene.
But in a large number of instances, the gene is only required to activate it.
After that, anybody can use it.
The only time the ATA gene is required for continuous use is in important and potentially
dangerous pieces of the technologies, such as the control chair that you can use to fly
Atlantis.
Predating the ATA gene, the Milky Way era technology created after the ancients first exodus from
their home galaxy fundamentally shaped their new creations.
Perhaps the most famous technology from this era is the Destiny ship.
So they created the Destiny ship almost as soon as they got to the Milky Way galaxy the
first time.
Destiny is a ship in the ancient fleet, which is constructed and launched around 60 million
years ago from Earth.
The ancients launched several automated ships prior to Destiny, each with the purpose of
construction and seeding stargates throughout the numerous galaxies they crossed.
With Destiny itself following in their path to explore those planets and piece together
fragments of the complex message embedded in the fabric of the universe itself.
After beginning the process, the ancients initially planned to wait until the ship reached
a sufficient distance from Earth to board it.
However, because of other endeavors such as attention, they never followed through on
their plan.
So they didn't even fly to the Destiny ship.
The Destiny ship was just flying on its own for millions of years because they decided
to do other things.
They got bored.
She gets busy.
Because of this, Destiny has continued on a pre-programmed path on its journey throughout
the stars alone for millions of years.
With the arrival of the Tau'ri expedition in 2009, Destiny got its first crew.
So the Earth people were the first person to ever step foot onto it.
That was a good show.
I liked it.
I wish it would have continued.
It didn't last very long though.
One season.
Mostly because it was just like a bottle series.
It was just the same location over and over again.
Yeah.
I mean, well, there was a couple of off-worlds.
Yeah, a little.
I remember those.
But yeah.
I think it could have got better if it would have continued.
The known ancients that we have in the mortal form, Ayanna, Janus, and Amelius.
Janus is the one that created from Atlantis itself.
She's the one that had the lab that the offshoot of the Asgard broke into and stole the weapon
from that destroyed the hyperdrives.
In the Ascended, we have Oma Da Sala.
She's at the moment engaged in eternal battle with Anubis.
Orlan, he is descended, so he's not an Ascended being anymore.
Merlin, he descended and died of old age.
And Morgan Lafay, and she's engaged in eternal battle with Adria.
So you have two of the named Ascended beings that are engaged in eternal battles.
Just constantly fighting.
But that is everything that I've got on the four great races.
If you guys have any other suggestions, leave them down.
And anything else to add before we head out?
The ancients were perverse.
I don't know.
My mind goes off into the weirdest tangents.
True.
Let's go to Earth and just fuck these people.
Kind of what they did.
Yeah, it's exactly what they did.
We don't like to interfere with any other races, but let's go fuck these ones.
Hey, you gotta get your rocks off, right?
You just gotta get it on.
We'll see you guys on the next one.
