30 YEARS AGO, ON OCTOBER 28TH, 1994 ⭐⛩👽🌌🛸🖖

METRO GOLDWYN MAYER PRESENTS

THE FILM THAT UNLOCKED A UNIVERSE. THE MOVIE THAT STARTED IT ALL.

ROLAND EMMERICH'S 1ST SCI FI CLASSIC.

IN 1928 AT GIZA, EGYPT, ARCHEOLOGIST PROFESSOR PAUL LANGFORD, ACCOMPANIED BY HIS DAUGHTER CATHERINE, UNEARTH COVER STONES (also called pyramidion or capstone) ENGRAVED WITH EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHICS & OTHER MARKINGS. BENEATH HE DISCOVERS A LARGE METALLIC RING OF UNKNOWN PURPOSE.

A "Stargate", an ancient ring-shaped device that creates a wormhole, enabling travel to a similar device elsewhere in the universe.

The central plot explores the theory of extraterrestrial beings having an influence upon human civilization.

In 1994, the now elderly Catherine invites Egyptologist and linguist Daniel Jackson, Ph.D. to translate the hieroglyphs.

The stones are now part of a U.S. Air Force classified project overseen by Special Operations Colonel Jack O'Neil.

Christmas themed painting attempt, not sure if I like it or not, but apart from the obvious anatomy mistakes its alright for what it is I guess

Some words/ names in Stargate and where I think the writers got them from

Jaffa: an ancient Levantine port city on the Mediterranean coastline, mentioned in many Egyptian and Mesopotamian writings; mentioned a lot in history bc of its associations w battle stories and strategic things

Naquadah: likely named after the town of Naqada, now an archaeological site positioned on the Nile and meaning "City of Gold" (precious metal connection between the real place and the role of naquadah in the show); also refers to a predynastic Egyptian material culture

Abydos: one of the oldest ancient Egyptian cities (abedju in ancient egypt; abydos is the greek name). its one of the most important ancient Egyptian archaeological sights that has a bunch of temple/ burial remains, having been at one point the royal burial grounds

Unas: the last king of the Fifth dynasty during the Old Kingdom of Egypt; likely the first pharaoh to have the Pyramid texts on the chamber walls of their pyramid; built pyramid in Saqqara. Speaking of Saqqara...

Skaara: ok this might just be a name they picked from some source on names they found, but given the past location-based trends, Im fairly sure the writers derived it the name Sakkara/ Saqqara. This is an egyptian village that was an ancient burial ground and holds the very old Pyramid of Djoser (among other things)

Sha'uri/ Sha're: like w Skaara this might just be a name they found and used and then changed for Shanks and co to more easily pronounce. Two theories on her original movie name:

1) derived from the pharaoh Sahure (name means "he who is close to Ra") who was fairly known for his international relations (which could be connected to the establishment of interplanetary relations the character is associated with)

2) its from the Swahili word shauri. Im not very familiar w the language/ culture surrounding this word so I may be mistranslating it, but from what I could find online, a shauri in more contemporary uses is a plan, advice, consultation, or matter of conversation, which I think really fits the role she played in the movie as a conversational partner and consultant to Daniel Jackson when he's learning the Abydonian dialect

Thats all ive got for now!

It’s Flat’s mom!  I’ve been meaning to design her for a while now, and like Flat, she is based on the real thing. She is a half zebra and her name means ‘counsel’

T O N Y C H I R A H S T U D I O S Years gone by and with each, as I carry your name into the decades granted me, I feel more like you; old and wise too, well guided by the commanding authority you wielded when you lead the community and was dad to my own. Here is to you, the Patriarch of the #Shauri family. Keep that eye on we. #TC_MBA #TCfamily #relaTCionships
