![]() ![]() Still, most of the Ancients refused to intervene, even though their own existence is threatened. According to the Ori themselves, the entire conversion of the Milky Way would probably give them enough strength to destroy the Ancients once the crusade was over. When the Asurans returned and captured the city, all the remaining Ancients were executed.Īfter Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran inadvertently alerted the Ori to the existence of another galaxy filled with humans, starting the Ori invasion of the Milky Way, millions of humans were converted to the oppressive Ori religion, feeding them only more power. After learning that Atlantis had survived the Wraith, they reclaimed the city. As the ship was traversing the inter-galactic expanse between Pegasus and the Milky Way Galaxies, close to light speed, the crew had only experienced a handful of years, because of the time dilation effect of near speed of light travel, since the evacuation of Atlantis. When an Aurora class battleship was discovered by the Daedalus, between the Pegasus and Milky Way galaxy, the crew was still alive. Apparently, she was left behind in the Ancient outpost in Antarctica, for carrying the plague, when Atlantis left for the Pegasus Galaxy. She revived herself when thawed, but was still infected with the plague and died exhausted from healing SG-1 and others from the Plague. ![]() Three years later, an Ancient woman, Ayiana, was found frozen in Antarctica near the location of the Antarctica Stargate. He eventually formed a personal bond with Oma Desala, who even helped him to ascend on two occasions. Eventually, when the team was preparing to defend the temple from several Jaffa warriors, Daniel discovered a non-corporeal being living on Kheb. The monk spoke in riddles, but spoke about a being called Oma Desala, a name Daniel Jackson translated as "Mother Nature". During their stay, the team discovered a Buddhist temple, where a single monk appeared to reside. The first ascended being ever encountered by the Tau'ri was Oma Desala, when SG-1 arrived on the planet Kheb in their search for Shifu, the young son of Apophis and Sha're. Such as "The Tower", even an exiled Ancient on a planet where the people worship her as "Athar" in the Stargate Atlantis episode, "Sanctuary." There are several examples of "lowers" praying and giving thanks to the Ancients/Ancestors in the Pegasus Galaxy. It is also likely that the Ancients knew the slippery slope of addiction to empowerment by way of the worship of `Lowers` and understood that there was a danger in this reliance, giving the Ori and later Adria a weakness despite `God` like powers. Still, they refused to take direct action because of their strict self-imposed edict of self-determination. To this end they also probably influenced the association of fire, the central icon of the Ori religion, with demonic imagery. In response, the Ancients chose to hide their own second evolution created in the Milky Way from the Ori with the sole purpose of protecting the Milky Way humans from being coerced into forced religious servitude to the Ori, and thus used as a resource for the Ori to empower themselves. The Ancients probably outnumbered the Ori as the ranks of the ascended Ori were not swelled by new ascendants, rather they preferred to hoard the energy they derived from their own mortal worshipers, sapping power from this second evolution of humanity created in their own galaxy to gather enough strength to, ultimately, attack the Ancients. Although the two factions were deadlocked in strength, the Ori were still bent on destroying the Ancients once and for all. After the Ancients' ascension they continued to oppose their former nemesis, the Ori, who had also reached Enlightenment. ![]()
