Do you ever think about how disclosure of the Stargate's existence would fundamentally alter the nature of scientific research? Especially in physics. Research stops being about trying to come up with new theories about the nature of the universe and formulating experiments. It becomes about being the first to translate a specific Ancient text or to take apart and reassemble bizarre Ancient machinery.

It becomes impossible to get a faculty position if you don't speak Ancient and the language becomes the one that all papers are written in.

So I've had this headcanon for a while now about stargate and finally have found the time/motivation to write it out

In Stargate Universe (I know this one isn't as widely loved as the first 2 series, but hear me out) it is established that the chair interface on the ship is a precursor to the chair we see in Antarctica and Atlantis. It is further established that the reason the Ancients sent out the Destiny was because of a recording in the background radiation of the universe. Furthermore, between The Ark of Truth and the beginning of SG-1 season 9 (Avalon) we know the Ancients/Alterans left thier home galaxy because of the Ori, and when they got to Earth and the Milky Way they "built many astria porta" or Stargates.

We also know the Ancients were one among the 4 Races who communicated with each other. The biggest one of these being the Asgard. And we know they live in a different galaxy from us Othala. Now I myself have always wondered how they encountered the Asgard when we have no evidence that they--for lack of a better word--colonozied the Asgard home galaxy. Even with concerted efforts to find other advanced life in the universe it'd be unlikely to happen by chance alone (even with advanced technology).

All of these tidbits may seem random and unrelated. But here's my headcanon on how they all tie together:

The Alterans were traveling to the Milky Way is how they got the recording of the background noise and they decided they needed to research the universe itself. So after settling on Earth they built the Destiny and its seed ships and sent them out (tangentially this could also explain why SGC can't find naquadah on Earth--the Alterans used it all in creating the stargates on these ships).

Now obviously sending out the ships they researched the Milky Way first and knew where to put stargates in this galaxy.

Furthermore, and more to the point, this would explain how the Ancients encountered the other 3 Races and established communication with them. And, again as an aside, this would explain how they knew about the Pegasus galaxy and that they could move there when they were experiencing the disease that nearly wiped out life in the Milky Way (Window of Oportunity, Frozen, and Reckoning Parts 1 and 2).

It always disappointed me that Stargate Atlantis never did more to make the city seem alien. I know it's childish, but I was fascinated by the question of where the expedition members went to the toilet. Because surely the most advanced and ancient race in the galaxy wouldn't use porcelain bowls.

And yet as the franchise went on, the Ancients became less alien and more exactly like 21st century Americans in togas. Remember how it took them 6 months to realise the weird tiny cupboards all over the place weren't storage units, they were teleporters? We should have had more of that, not ten thousand year old pot plants. I was so disappointed when SGU showed us that Ancient ships had a shower room indistinguishable from one in a modern youth hostel.

Alterans and the Flood

I don’t think the Alterans would have fought the Flood. They would have tried, but they would have seen how destructive it was and they would have fled the Galaxy. Or ascended, like they did with the Wraith; both being exceptional options, if you wanted to sacrifice the people you leave behind.

The Ancients wouldn’t have helped anyone they left behind if they had of ascended. Their “Nil Interference” policy, would have prevented them from doing so. As for fleeing the galaxy, they might have brought some people with them, but its highly unlikely.

Either way, the galaxy would have been overrun by the Flood far faster than it took with the Forerunners.

If, by some chance they decided to stick it out and fight the flood, they could always use the Weapons Platform on Darkara. In a similar fashion that SG1 used it, although they might not have considered it straight away. After all, it was a device meant to rebuild life, not destroy it.
