windemereYou know, every now and then something comes along that completely screws with my world view.
This time it was my AU world view wherein Atlantis is real, but it comes to the same thing.

It screws with my world view because it is just so unbelievable and so very believable and it explains so many things and doesn't answer so many more, and in the end it still makes so much sense.
Because we don't know where the Ancients came from, or who they really were before the whole Ancient/Ori divorce came through. And there are just so many things that have never been answered and probably never will, because they don't look to the past of how these advanced cultures come about but rather the future that they are effecting. And how old, exactly, are the Ancients, because they left Earth like 3 million years ago and how long were they here anyways? If they were that advanced, statistics say they were millions of years old already. We know they came from another galaxy, and how long were they there anyways? Are we talking tens of millions of years? Because it's possible. And we know nothing about the other galaxy, except that the Ori sent out their army from there. But the Ori were once the Ancients, and once they were, presumably, at peace, and once they pre-dated everyone else in the bloody universe. The Asgard are old, but I think we're talking hundreds of thousands of years, not millions, because they are advanced, but not THAT advanced. So maybe the Ancients really were first, and just encountered the other advanced races (Asgard, Nox, Furlings) rather recently, all things considered and formed the Four Races. Anything could have happened. And in a reality where massive solar flares can jump wormholes, and time travel is, like, common wouldn't it just make so much sense if Earth really is the beginning and not just an event down the way?
My only question in the whole thing is, who built the Emerald City? Because that is just frakked. Higher Power? Seriously? Cause that just doesn't jive with the rest of Stargate. And let's just say Atalan is a hell of a lot more impressive than the Garden of Eden. But I can be indifferent on the whole issue, because the rest if just awesome.
I'm going to bed. I've done far too much thinking today, and far too much typing and I am tired and I have work in the morning.
And the damn dining room is finally finished. Thank [god].
