4) In another reality Daniel fell on very hard times after his “revelation” and was unable to even get a job teaching foreigners English. His obsession with his findings were such that he was unable to keep a regular steady job and soon found himself with no job, no income, no apartment, no colleagues who would take him seriously, or even talk to him at all.

This time around Dr. Langford didn’t find the Chappa’ai in 1928 on the Giza Plateau, or anywhere else in Egypt, and therefore his daughter couldn’t recruit Dr. Jackson after his disastrous speech.

He slowly drove himself insane and eventually ended up at the same asylum as his grandfather, where he lived out the remainder of his days trying to convince anyone who came within ten feet of him that aliens really did use the Egyptian pyramids as landing platforms.

5) The Abydonians had been forgotten by Ra several centuries before and, while not really that advanced, they were well-connected and respected traders among the planets with little or no influence from the Goa’uld. They didn’t tell the Tau’ri this though, but Daniel still ended up married to Sha’re and Kasuf insisted that Daniel had to take his new wife with him to his homeworld. In exchange their peoples would become allies and he, Kasuf, would introduce Earth to some of their allies.

Sha’re taught him their particular dialect of Ancient Egyptian and how to read their written language. Like her Dan’yel she had a gift for languages and they would spend any time they could teaching each other what they knew, and applying it to what was currently happening.

Kasuf kept his promise and introduced SG1 to many of their allies, including the Tollan whom they were trading Naquadah with.

The Tollan were researching an old myth about an ancient, highly advanced city that was supposedly hidden somewhere underwater. As this sounded remarkably like the Earth myth about the Lost City of Atlantis they proposed a collaboration in order to research this particular myth from several points of view in an effort to find something to overpower the Goa’uld with.

Over the years several other worlds joined in on the project, as variations of the Atlantean myth appeared on about a dozen other planets. Not all of them believed in it, or were willing to take part in something that might lead to open rebellion against the System Lords, but some did in exchange for being allowed to be a part of the expedition if they found the city.

When Daniel and Sha’re finally found the address, and the eight symbol proved that Atlantis was in the Pegasus Galaxy, it wasn’t just an expedition from Earth that left to explore a new galaxy. It was representatives from Earth, Abydos, the Tollan, and four other worlds. And Daniel and Sha’re were among them.

Ooh, #2 is cool, in the most chilling sense of the word! #4, Nick and Daniel reunited, but so not in a good way. #5 makes me wonder if the Tollan would be able to make short work of the Wraith!

Thanks!

And I don't think the Tollan could "make short work" of the Wraith on their own, but probably with some help it might be very possible... ;)

very good.

Thank you.

I like the various roles Abydos plays here. It's a really interesting range. And #2 is just perfect! So terrifying!
