| Yeah, I'd like to see Cleopatra sometime. Apophis is kewl, I liked Nirrti, and I didn't like the way they dragged her off - I'm at the mo tryin to find a way to rescue her! BTW, it's kinda off topic, but when I was readin up about Aztecs/Maya's, turns out there was a city called Tollan. think one of the producers is perhaps a Tok'ra from the Aztec times?!  <- that's him in disguise, btw! |

| Well, even if they just keep to the SL's who are impersonating the Egyptian mythology, there are 9 (nine) "Gods" in the classic Egyptian Ennead. We have seen Seth, Ra, Hathor, Apophis, Heru-ur and Sokar (all of whom I think Daniel translated into members of the nine). Which would still leave three - but my recollections of a) the nine, and b) Daniels attributions, to deduce who we have not yet seen. |

| How about the Hindu goddess Kali, seen as "destroying life and giving it" - sounds like taking hosts to me! Or Siva (Shiva), Hindu god of destruction and reproduction (sex and death). |

| Well, Apophis is obviously the arch-enemy of SG-1 but I'd like to see an Osiris SL as he was pretty much second to Ra in Ancient Egypt as I recall (but I'm probably wrong!!!) but he was pretty important. Don't know why they knocked Sokar off so quickly, thought he was a cool character. Also, an Unas System Lord could be interesting (who would be NOTHING like Boss Nass though! lol!) |

What has also happened is that in a number of cases religions over-lapped, or at least their cultures did: Greeks and Romans for example. Various Christian and Egyptian characteristics can also be closely matched to these personas. Uh, re-reading the question: (ignoring the possibilities of dates not matching up - I think the film implies Ra arrived a LOT earlier than current thinking believes Egyptian, or even the preceding Sumerian civilisations from which it developed) the local populations had a series of religious icons, and the incoming Goa'uld came in and took up their places, simply assuming the various characters as a result of their infinitely superior technology. So, "Ra" was an alien with another name who took on the position of deity Ra. So, I can't recall if there was a Sokar in Egyptian religion, who had the Satan role in more modern beliefs, or if that is his "real" name? | |

| Sorry, didn't mean to sound like I was yelling.  I like the way they've tried to keep the mythology correct, and don't just make up random stuff to suit their time and needs though. |
