I love these Stargate videos. The ancients lore is pretty deep. Wasn't the destiny also on a mission to track down the origin of a frequency at the universe's center while also seeding it with new stargates? Wish they had a chance to explore that more.

I was always a little torn on the Ancients. On the one hand, I admire their achievements; they were a truly advanced race, and had they not been overrun by the Wraith, just imagine what further advancements they could have gained. But they were pretty high-handed to the Pegasus Team when they returned to Atlantis, especially since they were discovered by a Tau'ri ship in deep space. They had a ton of knowledge, but it seemed often that their wisdom hadn't kept pace with it, and that more than anything was what hurt them the most, imo. Just as a side note, it always bugged me that Stargate Command never sent a follow-up mission to that planet where Ernest was trapped for all those years. I mean, obviously the Stargate ended up getting buried as that part of the castle collapsed, but once we had ships with ftl drives like Prometheus, I kept wondering why Daniel at least didn't push to go back and at least see if it was possible to salvage that machine with the knowledge of the Four Races, especially since he was so eager to stay behind with it in the first place

The lore behind the Ancients was my fav part of Stargate? I especially loved how they tied it in with existing earth mythological characters like Merlin and the Arthurian legends

One of the most underrated sci fi series, it does not need to be reboot, it needs to be reborn and rise again

Now that the series The Expanse has concluded, leaving at least 3 books uncovered, would you be able to do some of these videos explaining things like the Ringbuilders, the Protomolecule, and the Ring Entities?

This was in my recommended and I’ve never seen so happy to see a recommended video.

Thanks to this channel, my brother is impressed by my Ascension to dorkyness above him. That's hard to do....

I wonder if the ascended ancients ever found out the answer to the question Destiny was built to do.

Thank you!!! I really enjoyed this video on the Ancients. I love how all the lore is spread out throughout all the series and slowly coalesce into a great backstory that fits the history and lore of Earth. The mystery of the "Ring" at the beginning really grabbed my interest in their story.

In SGA, it is stated they were not overrun and could have stalemated the Wraith indefinitely due to the vastly superior knowledge and technology. However, they were so close to direct ascension and their numbers were so small that they decided it was better to simply pursue that route for further development. If the Wraith never got ahold of a ZPM to supercharge their expansion they would have been nothing more than a nuisance. I recently discovered your channel, and I am really enjoying it. Thanks!

I hadn't realized that the Stargate universe was so big. I wish I'd delved into it a long time ago. 🤖👾👽

Loved this video! Felt a lot like you were giving an in-universe presentation on The Ancients :D

In Stargate Universe a discovery was made of the true mission of the Destiny, a structure of intelligent design in the background radiation of the visible universe, what became of that story thread and is there any scope for visiting this idea again in future Stargate projects?

The Ancients was indeed highly developed with superior intellectual capacity but in that they also was bereft of the ability to fend for themselves as with the Wraith they should have easily swatted this race away but did not as they lacked the capacity to think in a military way and the Wraith understood this and used it against them. Gradually along their history they lost something. There is a belief among fans at least that when they sat down and conjured up the second evolution of their form they knowingly made humans more aggressive in order to be able EVEN if it took them longer to evolve to both be intelligent and military. Loved this video.

Thank you!!! Huge fan of all shows Stargate!!!!! So much back story!! So many tales left untold! So many questions begging for answers!!!!

Sad that the Asgard were not able to ascend. I wish they had figured out another way.

"Well apparently I have lost the falatus to speak properly. That wasn't a joke. I didn't do that on purpose."- O'Neill

Thank you so much for Stargate lore!

When the Halo game's first started they had a very similar back story. In Halo 1 and 2 the Forerunners were super advanced ancient humans who were driven to extinction by a parasitic lifeform called the Flood. The Forerunners seeded human life on Earth. Later Microsoft changed the lore and made the Forerunners a separate species.

Just finished Stargate SG1 in November! Watched it a little, not enough to know the characters, when I was younger and it was on TV. Great series, Cowboy Teal’c!

Subscribed for the Dune content, very happy I did! Now I watch every upload!

The Ancients civil war is very interesting. At the same time what a bummer their history is a looooooooong line of how they lost every major battle they came up against.

This is really good, and you have a great voice - it sounds like an Ancient.

Huge Star Gate all three series. Was really disappointed that Star Gate Destiny was canceled so soon. Really wanted to know what that organized signal the Ancients had discovered before the Big Bang. The Ancients were awesome. Wish the fan base found out what galaxy the Ancients originated from. But I guess that is left up to the imagination. As always thanks for sharing, love the channel and all that Nerd. Have a very Cosmic Day. Be safe.😁❤👽🤓👍

You left out the factions of Ancients. Atlantean ancients that survived (or didn't ascend) the plague and headed to the Pegasus galaxy experimented with immortality with the Iratus bug, the Atlanteans also built machines to try and force ascension. The two factions of Alterans were divided amongst those who were materialist (not the $ kind, the science kind) and the spiritualists. Spiritualists focused on ascending, while the materialists focused on improving science, the latter of which experimented with the Iratus bug and left their technology around the universe, carelessly. This is also why the ascended ancients are mostly against interfering with the universe, they saw the problems their own people created for the younger races.

Neglectful Precursors Lesson 101: The Ancients. In all seriousness, I do actually really like them. They made huge mistakes, sure, but that's what comes when you gain such immense knowledge and power. And they did do a lot of good. I really respect their idea of non-interference, since they do have godlike power, it would be entirely too easy to make the universe better. . . in *their* perception, which may not be a perception shared by the ones they're supposedly making the universe better for. At most, guide with wisdom and present the choices, but always let the younger races choose. Would love to see a video on my favorite SG-1 aliens, the Tok'ra!

More great work! Tyvm

Very nice video and very beautiful voice with relevant narration. Congratulations and Many Thanks.

Wow this would made a great preface of a new Stargate series. !

Yesss this videos are so informative stargate has been my favorite franchise of all times..please do more

Stargate is my favorite series, you totally nailed it.

Loved this. Thank you.

Another great video

Apparently there was some ending written that they found janus on the moon with a ton of zpms and i forget most of it lol but they go back to smack the wraith. 🤷‍♂️🙃

What a great universe created. I think this universe building is as good as Dune, The Foundation, and Star Wars, as evidenced by 17 seasons spread out over three different shows. One thing about the Alterans: no matter how advanced they became, ultimately they were fallible human beings.

i love youre videos , i want to do this, how did you start out on video editing? cause youre effing awesome. and i wanna create quality on your level!

Nice video. I really appreciate it. ;) Though I have to say you have some events out of order. You mentioned the Alliance of the Great races happening before Pegasus. That is incorrect as the alliance happened rather recently as stated by the Commander of the Vanir, Asgard Civ existed only for 100 thousand years. So the alliance could not have happened before (or at least the Alliance we know of) the Ancients left for Pegasus, which was 5-10 mil years ago. And another thing is that imbreading thing. Nowhere in the show was it ever mention or at least implied that the imbreading gave us ATA gene. That is just a mere speculation. We have no reason to think the ATA is artificial gene in the Ancient Genepool. Thus it is logical that it would develop in us as well as we are an ospring species to them. Other than that, I really liked it. (yet it was kinda shame that Dakara was not even mentioned. It would desserve it as it was the first planet they settled and the role it played later during the plague ;) ) Anyway thanks for your work and have a very good time.

Great lore video well done. It would be great to have a new series.

Excellent video very informative

Excellent post, like honey on a spoon to this long time SG fan, thanks heaps ❤

I LOVE THESE STARGATE INFO VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your voice...soothing, you're knowledge fascinating. Thank you my lady

Very good overview, very accurate according to current lore. I might want send this to my RPG group before we start with the Stargate RPG :-) The "Daniel Jackson Trainings videos" we never got^^

I was sad to see star gate universe get canceled. The lore and the richness of the SG universe is just great.

The stargate series helped shape and spark my imagination when I was younger

When sci-fi was just sci-fi... Sundays on channel 4, SG1 was fantastic.

stargate and mass effect have alot in common

Excellent run down of Stargate the ancient's, eventhough I've Seen all the Stargate TV Series and movies Countless times, I love everything Stargate, I showed my little nephew's your KZfaq vids there first time Seeing about Stargate they loved it everytime they Come to my house that's all they want to watch STARGATE they get mad Sometimes if I watch without them 😆 Lol

I like the Puddle-jumper. I’ll take one with a ZPM power upgrade. I won’t mind being a taxi for NASA.

They built some incredible stuff

It's a great video, but (and there are spoilers below for anyone who has not watched Atlantis so be warned): You left out the bit where the Ancients created the Replicators as a last ditch effort to combat the Wraith and then turned on their creation once they realized what sort of monster they created.

Loved

You missed their biggest and most mysterious secret, Destiny wasn't just an automated ship designed to fly to other galaxies and place stargates. It was designed to go and explore the the biggest mystery to the Ancients themselves, a strange message hidden in the cosmic microwave background.

I hope stargate comes back.

I really hope that if Amazon buys MGM they green light a new Stargate series and that it focuses on the ancients, either directly in terms of a prequel(maybe war with the wraith or something from millions of years ago) or in an ancillary way like SGU

Excellent video. Thank you ! Did the ancients have ever follow the Destiny ship?

As I understood it, the original society from which the Ancients come didn’t call itself Alteran. The Alteran name means “the others,” as in opposition to the Ori.

I can't wait to see new stargate

The alterans were interesting and certainly deserve respect for their accomplishments, but it is made very clear in the show that they are not as wise or enlightened as they were made to be.

I hope that since these videos are coming out, a new Stargate will be dropping soon.

Why have they not done a prequel show about the Atlanteans?

I 💘 this lady who narrates these stargate lore videos voice. I wish she could narrate the story of my life, I know that joint would be 🔥....

Yeahhhhh let’s get more Stargate stuff up in here

I think how they continuously failed and were beaten back because of their philosophical ways is interesting. They had all this knowledge and power but rarely fought with it that caused them to lose against many they should have been able to beat. I like that even as great technologically they were, disease still could ravage them.

hoping this series continue..

I like how they made the Ancients imperfect. Them being amongst the first sentient beings in the universe means that they had no help with their progress as a species and had to do things "trial by error" to attain many of their own achievements. This means a lot of mistakes would be made along the way but that's realistic. It would've sucked if they were perfect from the beginning. 😊👍

i really want them to continue the destiny story and also continue the stargate SG1 storyline .. as not all the ori would have been cured and also the vacuum of power between the 3 galaxies spanning the different shows has been left hanging

STARGATE ASMR. I’m here for it :D

My heart will always be with the Destiny. Travelling the stars and seeding exploration umungst the stars.

alternan's, please watch forbidden planet, all will be explained, one of the greatest sci films ever made

The lore of STARGATE is God tier…you can’t change my mind! 😤

I really felt like Destiny was beginning to gain traction. Definitely canceled too soon and sad to see the story come to an end.

Have you considered covering a video game franchise? I don't know if you've ever played Bioshock but I've lot to hear your thoughts on that series.

8:07 it didn't happen naturally if I recall, the ancients found the insect and they themselves modifies their dna with it It was like a research project that went wrong and when the first ten subjects managed to break out they quickly reproduced

Not a thing missed . Bravo on a galactic scale

I love stargate. I especially love the alterans. Just one point of their story i do not like: looking at the pace of their tech progression and timeline, their society must have remained in virtual tech stasis for centuries before any advancements were discovered.

It's my view that the Pegasus galaxy is not nearby. Unless you consider 300 million light-years to be a short distance.

there is not much on the furlings they sound like Ewoks but over time things change and everything was lost, that is why i like to re-discover things that was once lost

Petition to have the Milky Way officially renamed Avalon

In my head canon I always believed that the result of seeding humans on other planets in the Milky Way resulted in the creation of the Asgard, Furlings, and Nox. Each race was human essentially until genetic manipulation and evolution changed them.

Whisper in my ear all day n night 😉

Ascension is what I would want to learn more about. Like is it fake or possible to achieve in real life.

Do you think the G'hould can blend with a Wraith just curious.

I would love to know what they where like around the era they abandoned Destiny to just run on autopilot for millions of years. SGU alluded to how Destiny wasn't just a seed ship but also had a function to collect data and look for background code suggesting they wanted to "find god" or "the programmers." I doubt there is much in the way of cannon on that though since it was barely touched upon in SGU before they cancelled it.

9:06 I can't help but think that to them it was basically like fucking a monkey 🤣🤣🤣 Their vast knowledge, whereas we're just discovering numbers

a war where they most likely wouldn't win, i find this concept silly as the Alterans were an advanced race while the Ori were constantly stripping themselves away from advancing in tech into a religion who didn't use tech of any kind for the worshipers. i have also read that the Ori didn't ascend until after the Alterans did, which is also silly considering the first thing i just stated. now it could be that people just have this understanding backwards and the Ori were ascended at this time and the Alterans struggle would make much more sense given the circumstances.

Imagine if this all already happened but the government hides it from is, so they just made this show, something like the X-Treme Wormhole I think it was called

Ok here is a theory. Lanteans are not referenced in the flash back at the start of ark of truth. This could mean at Lanteans where a later group of Ancients. We do not know the reasons and goals of the Ori as we have only been informed about them from their enemy the Lanteans. It seems super unlikely a civilization would last a billion years. OK here is a theory. Seeding worlds is part of the life/species cycle of the Ancients. It would explain the hugely different technologies discovered from the Ancients, like the ori, Lantean destiny, atlantis, the random stuff left behind for season 9-10 of stargate and the Tin Man from the first season of sg1 because they do not fit in the timeline for human development. IDK anyone think that the 'Ancients' are doing sometime of a life cycle seeding worlds or am i reaching for reusable straws?

I hope when they come out with a new series we finally get to see the Furlings

We need to design a stargate for the Steam Punk planet!

Stargate was such a great series! Big fan! I ever had mixed emotions about the Ancients. On one hand they are the superior race of pacifists and sincetists, great mentors for other younger races. As beings of pure energy they are also extremely powerful. But on the other hand they made catastrophic mistakes with terrible consequences for the universe. For example failed ki experiments with robots which resulted in the rise of the Replicators. And lets not forget Anubis was also a (psychpathic) member of this race. They sent him back physically to the mortal world with all the knowledge in his head, only to get infected by a Goa'uld snake. Then the whole galaxy is going to suffer and the poor excuse of them is not to interfere in mortal problems, even if trillions are going to die.

I think the greatest mistake I see viewers of Stargate make regarding the Ancients is that they forget to include perspective in their considerations. From our perspective as viewers on the side of the SGC and Earth, the Ancients come off as aloof, negligent assholes more than anything. However we also know that the viewpoint we see things from does not allow us to see all that he Ancients see and have seen, so we do not actually have the information required to judge their actions as wise or unwise either way. Ascension being possible at all, and the Destiny missions goal both suggest that the Stargate universe, much like the Babylon 5 universe contains within it the possibility of reality/the universe itself being sentient, it seems to me that the Ancients may well be under operating under conditions much more complex than humanity could imagine and be trying to safeguard and understand that greater universal existence more than anything. I think the greatest supporting evidence for this is the requirements for natural ascension, to be good and to let go of physical reality rather than just physiological advancement, that kind of requirement speaks heavily to an artificial constraint on the basic process itself by a power with a specific intent, basically that ascension itself is designed with a specific purpose in mind. It again reminds me of Babylon 5 where the First One's were compelled by the universe itself to shepherd the younger races and to move on from galactic space where life could develop once they grew enough, so new peoples could arise and learn about themselves and reality. I wager ascension is meant to function much the same, those who have learned the right lessons are "picked up" and taken out of the Petri dish to let the rest have the room to do the same. It also would support the "Others" being right and Oma being wrong really, in that she is arrogant enough to believe she can judge people better than the universe itself can and pick out those who deserve ascension even if they haven't completed the journey required by the universe itself. It also helps explain why the Ori don't ascend their followers even when spreading Origin and promising it, beyond just being power hungry. Their understanding of the universe might very well be that ascension should be natural as well and thus actual "uplifting" of "lowers" should never be done. Origin probably started as a religion before the Ori even started ascending and survived after their ascension was fully complete leaving only pure humans with no progress on the path to ascension behind, which is where the problems with worship and power hungry domination started. After all, if the Ori could ascend naturally they must have completed the basic requirements of ascension to do so, even if they developed machines like the ascension machine McKay found, as that only modified the physiological parameters and not the metaphysical part of the equation.

I want to know more about the Ancients. #WeWantStargate

you should do a video on the forerunners from halo

I think the Ancients greatest feat truth be told was there own version of the replicators. They won the war with the wraith and nearly perfectly emulated the ancients down to their desire to ascend even.

Heh I do have a soft spot for Stargate it’s sometimes like the forgotten child of the ‘Star’ franchises

0:10 to 0:30 This is why I shall never again call my galaxy the Milky Way. Avalon it is and ever shall be called until the heat death of the Universe.

"About a million years from now the human race would have crawled up to the Krell stood in their great moment of triumph and tragedy. And your father's name will shine again like a beacon in the galaxy. It's true, it will remind us that we are after all, not God." Commander John Adams Forbidden Planet 1956

I guess the creators never elaborated on who the furlings are?

What I never understood was why did they abandon the city in pegasus they could have flown it somewhere else to another Galaxy and restart at the ancient race or gone back to Earth with the city and repopulate in the century too they would have been fine but instead they went back to Earth beside to live among the primitives and just let the whole civilization die out I found out strange
