Category:Mythology

The mythology of Stargate SG-1 includes the premise that alien races both borrowed from and influenced Earth's cultures. For example, the Goa'uld borrowed from Egyptian, Celtic, Greek, Chinese, Babylonian, and other religions to take on the guise of gods in order to subjugate humanity throughout the galaxy, humanity which they took from Earth starting 10,000 years ago. The Asgard also disguised themselves as Norse gods in order to protect humanity, especially from the Goa'uld. But, the race which predates both the Goa'uld and the Asgard is the Ancients, who built the network of Stargates and left behind their legacy inside of myths and legends, including Atlantis, Avalon, and the Holy Grail.
