I see that a lot of people believe in the theory that the US govt have a stargate or they went to Iraq looking for a stargate. How did this notion come about who started it all???

This also sounds similar to Hitler's quest for Atlantis is Bush as crazy as him or is there more to it?

What makes people think that anyone has a stargate or they even exist, and in Iraq of all places

Tell me how many of these "Stargate" theories existed before the television series went into commision and on air ? Dont remember hearing anything about this beforehand..just call me mr cynical thats all

Is this true? does anyone have a different opinion or has anyone found a 'real stargate' theory that existed before the film?

I had a quick look in google but all I get back is existing threads from ATS

Before the series there was the movie. That was 12 years ago. I doubt there were any theories. However the links are there.

I believe it was the Stargate movie that later became a series and still is shown on the science fiction channel.

The person who first came up with the stargate theory in Iraq was a man by the name of William Henry.

It was Dr. Michael E. Salla see link above.

Actually apon reinspection I found it to be neither.
Dr. Michael E. Salla wrote the paper (found on the site) about the theory.
William Henry was an Author whom supported the veiws on the theory.

Apon reinspection I found it to be Zecharia Sitchin.
He translated the Ancient Sumerian texts back in 1976, and found that they contained information on the 'stargate' in question.

Yes I have his book on the link between Humans and estraterrestials.

Very interesting book.

The speculation about the possibility of a device called a "Stargate" actually existing is a result of the television shows/movie of the same name.

It is often the case that should a television show portray a technology or outlandish device, our intrigued membership will post up a thread stating "Could this actually exist...." and that is basically how all the Stargate stuff started.

As has been mentioned, no discussion of such a device (specifically called a Stargate) exists before the movie was created.

I wouldn't believe anything you hear about this subject, it's all theory and conjecture that has been dragged on and little bits of information "added on" and expanded over years to the point people think of it as holding some level of fact.

Whats funny about this subject is that the little bit of adding on has got people believing that Bush invaded Iraq because of the 'Stargate' and that Saddam sent the WMDs through the Startgate. That is just silly everyone knows there were no WMDs

Are there any pre 1994 notes of trans-planetary teleports linked to either egyptian, sumerian or other ancient cultures? Term stargate should be taken as a Movie influence, but are there other papers on subject exept the Sitchin translations that lead to the movie?

Any post '94 info is most likely "contaminated" by the movie and the Series (good serie btw)

I remember talk of the Iraq invasion being about seeking technology, in fact the discussions went on to be very deep indeed, and im not talking about here on ATS, im talking think tank discussions bringing the subject up before 911, nowhere did i ever hear the word Stargate mentioned, it spiraled into a Stargate in the usual way, linking idea's from TV shows into idea's already existing.

As Simongray said, forget all the TV nonsense, there is no connection at all, the idea of technology and the search for it has been around it seems for decades, it only took a couple of bright sparks slipping it into the "WHAT IF" category, somewhere in one of my posts from when i first registered was a mention and a link to the idea, the people who first thought about the possibility as usual get no recognition for the idea.

I thought the idea that the Iraq invasion was to seek technology was fantastic and well thought out, that is until the link to the stories from the Movie and Series of Stargate SG1 ha been added, that is when the idea of these great folk became lost in the farce.

These people im talking about are members of Think Tanks, each member is a member of another group, and that groups members are members of another and so on, they get together and discuss world events, no subject is taboo, they sit maybe in a pub, and talk about things and personal ideas, which then become expanded as they share what other groups have discussed about the topics, sounds complicated, but when you think the members of these groups come from all walks of life, Scientists, Engineers, even joe blow, anyone can join, as long as the rules are not broken, it is surprising how deep the conversations go as the beer goes down.

Even today still we get intergalactic federations, and alliances, just this week it reared its head again, all that kind of talk does is make a mockery out of a perfectly reasonable idea, nobody ever said it was fact (the search for ancient technology) i think when the idea of ancient technology comes up, people imagination runs away with itself, ancient technology could be something as simple as the Baghdad battery, IMO its something a lot more, but it has nothing to do with the Jaffa, or gouaoulds, Asgard shielding, or even the traveling to distant planets in the blink of an eye, i do believe however it is important to someone.

This is truely amazing, exactly what I'm looking for and I'm on board 100%.
