I watched the summer finale last night, and I just want to make sure I understand the origion of these guys. So here goes what I got from the episode:
The ancients had invented a cube-shaped device that is capible of giving life to a previously lifeless vessle (ala Frankenstines monster). The Goa'uld found it and studied it, but their scientific knowledge was too limited (compaired to that of the ancients) to figure out how it works, thus the most they were able to achieve was a device that could heal/sustain life almost indefionately (sarcofigus). A Goa'uld stole and hid the device, then died. When Anubis ascended, he gained the knowledge needed to build his own. Thus Anubis builds one, and uses it to animate his army of heavily armored weapon-proof kamakazi soldures.
Now, as for HOW Anubis did this, I understand it to be as such: these beings likely started out as normal innocent humanoid beings that got their insides messed around with medically by Anubis and his buddies. They were given unuaually large hearts and lungs, in order to allow them both unusually hugh levels of strength, as well as the ability to function normally under the weight of that dense armor. The effect of these unproportional insides is that their hearts give out fairly quickly...probably within hours of their "birth"...and it is likely thanks only to the presence of a Goa'uld symbiot that their bodies last even that long.
As for the armor itself, it seems built with the ability to either absorb or dispurse energy pulses on impact. No manor of energy projectile or shield has phased it thus far, but I'd still be interested to see what one of the larger staf-like cannons and/or ship guns could do.
Another side not is that while the armor is a kickass anti-energy weapon defense, it's just as good at protecting against physical impact. Bullets, claymores...hell, a couple pounds of C-4 blowing up under it acomplishes nothing.
...I'm gonna like these guys
