Gods (and others)

ah that little oscar thing is a preminition. i estimate about 10 - 15 years before it actually happens. you never know.

How about all of apops guards that sg1 has killed - they were just doing their job. and i bet the mother ship builders were pretty pissed when the heard heru'ur's ship had gone nova - supernova:evil:
 
Allowing for my UK supply of episodes being barely at the start of season 4 (so please limit toooo much detail), when were Chronus and Heru-ur killed?

Chronus was alive at the end of the episode with Yu and Nirti, and Heru-ur is always popping up; rats - looks like he is in "Serpents Venom" which I won't see for months yet! :mad:
 
Yep, Serpents Venom, and another ep later on, called...

That OK? ;)
 
Anubis, while not a god we've heard of was in egyption mythology, Yu I don't think will be a problem for SG-1 because as long as they keep away from him, in Fair Game they said he was not interested in the Tau'ri homeworld.
 
The hard part of mapping the Egyptian gods in particular is that they had pseudonyms.

So, Horus = Heru'ur for example, Atum = Ra (and others!).

And that is without some being other gods brothers, uncles, fathers and probably wives to someone else at the same time :eek7:

I must get round to digging out my egypt notes to get definitive names from the Ennead - the egyptian primary group of nine gods.
 
Or you could just do a net search, theres loadsa great sites... ;)
 
In my opinion, for the show and storylines to retain ANY sense of credibility, they need to stop making the Goa'uld so easy for SG1 to pick off. It just doesn't make any sense at all or do anything for the story to have the four SG1 characters be such kick-ass, invulnerable soldiers..... especially against Jaffa armies. It's just pathetic and nonsensical.

I realise that it provides a focal point for the audience to cheer on the humans but it makes a mockery of the whole 'Goa'uld are the enemy of Earth' concept. Who the heck is going to believe that an enemy like that - who are, apparently, prancing around the galaxy doing pantomime - is going to provide earth with any great problems. And why worry in that case as to who the enemies are likely to be?

According to the writers of the show, SG1 can overcome any enemy with sheer initiative, sarcastic humour and a few bullets.

At least that's what we're all supposed to swallow.

Somehow, I don't think that the Earth has too much to worry about in that case!


:cool: :rolly2:

It also depends from where and when.

At Heliopolis, they reguarded 9 gods and goddessess in the Ennead (restricted to the genealogy)
The temple of Abydos had 7 gods/goddessess
and the Ennead consisted of 15 at the Karnak Temple.

Nu, Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Nut, Geb (from cosmic myth)
Osiris, Isis, Seth, Nephthys, and Horus (myth of kingship)

these were the strict Ennead


(what can I say? I read a LOT of mythology!:D )

Go on then, list them from memory! ;)
Shouldn't that be Nut?

LOL :smilie: I've never done mythology as a course of anything (wish I could have though! :(). It's such something I read up on at home.

I think Atum rose out of Nu to create the elements of the universe. I think she is the concept of primevial waters... or something like that.
I think Nut was the sky goddess ( and along with Geb) was the child of Shu and Tefnut.

[B[btw, you posted much in the mythology section? [/B]

Actually this has been my second post in this section. How am I doing? :iiworry: ;)

Well, on all the major occassions I can think of when Earth itself was under direct attack, SG-1 needed external help: Bra'tac & team (Apophis), alternate themselves & Asgard (Apophis), Tok'ra (Reetou).

On another they would have failed eventually (Sokar), and another (Goa'uld legal attack) they only succeded due to internal strife of the opposition.

As for on other planets, yeah, they seem to be very variable in sometime invulnerability, in others, easily trapped!

Hopefully, I might do a BA in it next year. (see the effect of SG on my life?!)

Yeah, you're right, good point, doesn't Nu= Nun then?

Keep posting!
