[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The age of the Antarctic gate was established as 50 million years in "Frozen". Back then, the Goa'uld should have had no reason to frequent the place, as there were no sentient bipeds around to serve as hosts... ...Unless we buy the rest of the claims in "Frozen", about cyclic human evolution. but Ra would probably still have been among the first Goa'uld to come pester Earth. His "alien" appearance in his dying moments could be attributed to extreme old-age withering, similar to what happened to the host of Apophis when the symbiont died, but faster. The vortex not being flat was probably a tuning error on the original Earth gate setup, much like the seismic tremors or the frosting. I do wonder about going through the wrong side of the gate, though. The location prop at least has clearly asymmetric sides, so an experienced user shouldn't get confused - but many of the "temples" or "platforms" that mount the location prop still make it possible for an inexperienced user to walk in through the wrong side. As for the power issue, stargates were apparently built to be user-friendly. They can be dialed and powered up even in the most primitive of conditions, given enough ingenuity. Based on this, one would assume they'd be tolerant of the user error of walking in from the wrong side, too. They aren't complex deathtraps - they are more like public transportation for John Doe the Stupider. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
