The story starts in the past with coverstones being found in Egypt. When they are uncovered a strange metallic looking device, circular in design is retrieved. Uncovering the Stargate Moving to present day, a little girl named Catherine, now grown up, still has no idea of the object's purpose and seeks to find somebody who can deciper the meaning. She finds Dr Daniel Jackson, an Egyptologist who has strong ideas about the origins of the Egyptian era. Dr. Daniel Jackson Dr Daniel Jackson, as Catherine had hoped, deciphers the meaning of the inscription on the coverstones to mean "Stargate" and it is then that Catherine decides to show Daniel the device. After a short while Daniel also decodes the seventh symbol and here begins the epic journey across space. With the final symbol ready, the military get together a team to take on a journey. Deciphering the Glyphs With the team ready, one by one they step through the gate, unaware of what fate has in store for them and what the journey will be like. A fantastic travelling scene takes place as the galaxy itself has a pathway from our planet to another with twists and turns to "fold space" to reduce the distance travelled. >> What Is the Stargate? The Stargate is a round portal that can instantaneously transport an object from one point in space to another by generating an artificial wormhole. A wormhole is created between any two Stargates when one Stargate dials the address of the other. The Stargate A Stargate uses six symbols, representing star constellations, to locate another Stargate, and uses the final seventh symbol, unique to each Stargate, as it point of origin. Earth Dial-up Computer All together, the Stargate contains 39 symbols, one of which is the point of origin, and has 7 chevrons that are used to lock on to the Stargate symbols and dial another Stargate.
