Something else to consider: wouldn't all of these gates have different point-of-origin symbols associated with them? That would probably help in determining which planets they came from.
Also, they got a report from the Tok'ra about missing gates, so presumably the Tok'ra know where some of the gates are supposed to be. But, they were surprised by the amount of gates in the hold when they got there, so they may end up with a few spares.

In dialogues, Daniel stopped counting at fifteen, and there could concievably be more of them in there too (I counted fourteen).
Each gate SHOULD have a unique point of origin symbol, plus usually one ore more symbols different from that of Earth's gate. This latter detail is usually disregarded in production (the prop or GCI gates have never been altered AFAIK, and they don't do unique POO symbols on the DHD anymore.

Without any computer? Hey - yeah! How did he dial the gate? Don't forget - security like the hand print ID were added later on - to stop enemies like the Ree-tu from just coming and going.

Fandom and some writers think that Poppy had a "quick return" device of non-Goa'uld design (possibly Ancient) which would retun him to whatever gate he just came from. The address should be stored in the computer, the gate itself, or could be pre-programmed. The Nox and a future Earth have been shown to have this technology (which also dispenses with the "kawoosh", thus also explaining why Apophis can activate the gate without apparently having to get out of the way), so Apophis having some sort of portable DHD device that can do this is hardly farfetched.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I just had a thought of a plot issue: When Baal's ship was blown up, was Baal himself killed? (The original, that is?) Baal is my favorite Goa'uld, but I'm not sure I can think of a way to have him escape. And it seemed as if the "original" Baal was on that ship... didn't we see him flash his eyes at one point? Oh, and we heard him talking with the trademark Deep Goa'uld Voice�... could that be something that the clones would be able to do?

I guess it depends upon whether he merely cloned his human host, or somehow cloned himself, too.
Of course, the eye-flashing and voice could probably be faked. But Fatty McRomangod (can't be bothered to look up his name) probably would have been able to tell if he was near a real Goa'uld or not.

Every one of his clones that were killed had glowing eyes and the voice so all of them did and maybe he is in season 10 we will find out mid year
