Stargate: The Movie (1994)

(from internet transcript)


Doctor Daniel Jackson
Well, the translation of the inner track is wrong. Must've used Budge. I don't know why they keep reprinting his books.

[He starts erasing some of the translation.]

MYERS
Ex-excuse me. Wha-what are you doing? We've used every known technique.

[Daniel finally turns around, pointing to an untranslated symbol.]

DANIEL
That's a curious word, to use, eh, "Quebeh"?

MYERS
Yeah...?

DANIEL
Then an adverbial sedjem-en-ef with a cleft subject. Then "Sealed and buried."

[Adds the words to an untranslated section of the hieroglyphs, then crosses out "coffins".]

MYERS
Ex-excuse me. Wha-what are you doing?

DANIEL
That's not coffins.

[Daniel ignores Myers, crossing out the word "forever to eternity" and replacing it with...]

DANIEL
"For all time." Who the hell translated this?

Stargate Atlantis - Rising - television series premiere episode part 1 and 2 - Friday 16 July 2004 (DVD extended version)

Episode Summary

The discovery of an outpost, left behind by the Ancients in the most unlikely of places, leads a new Stargate team to the distant Pegasus galaxy. Once there, they discover a planet of humans being decimated by a terrible alien race know as the Wraith.

(from internet transcript of incomplete dialog)


BECKETT: You do have security clearance to be here?

SHEPPARD: Yeah, yeah. General O'Neill just gave it to me.

(Beckett's eyes widen.)

BECKETT: Then you don't even know about the Stargate.

SHEPPARD: The what?

LAB.

JACKSON: Jack, you know that gating to another galaxy requires an enormous amount of power.

O'NEILL: Yes I do. Find another way.

JACKSON: There's no other way.

O'NEILL: You think there are more of these Zed things in Atlantis?

JACKSON: Yes, and who knows what else we could find? This isn't just some other civilisation we're talking about. These are the gate builders.

WEIR: The potential wealth of knowledge and technology, it outweighs anything we've come across since we stepped through the Stargate.

O'NEILL: Well, with the amount of power you'll need to make this trek, odds are it'll be one way.

WEIR: Yes, we know, but the benefit to humanity is far greater than the risk, General, and it is a risk that every one of my expedition members is willing to take.

(She and McKay look at O'Neill hopefully. O'Neill thinks about it, then looks at Daniel, who also looks at him hopefully.)

CHAIR ROOM.

BECKETT: They think the gene was used as a sort of genetic key, if you will, so that only their kind could operate certain dangerous and powerful technologies.

(He turns away from the Chair. Behind him, Sheppard pokes at the arm control panels tentatively.)

SHEPPARD: So some people have the same genes as these Ancients. (He walks around the Chair.)

BECKETT: The specific gene is very rare, but on the whole they look very much like we do. In fact they were first. We're the second evolution of this form, the Ancients having explored this galaxy for millions of years before ... Major, please don't.

(Sheppard has started to sit down in the Chair.)

SHEPPARD: Come on -- what are the odds of me having the same genes as these guys?

(As he sits down, the Chair immediately lights up and reclines. Both he and Beckett stare in amazement.)

BECKETT: Quite slim, actually. (Shouting out) Doctor Weir! (He looks at Sheppard.) Don't move.

(He hurries off. Sheppard lies in the Chair, looking upwards nervously.)

SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. Beckett and the others run back to the Chair. Weir stops and looks at Sheppard.

WEIR: Who is this?

(O'Neill walks up onto the dais and looks down at Sheppard.)

from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: July 24, 2006

If we could just figure out a better way to travel to orbit without these silly rocket boosters, we would be well on our way to exploring more of the solar system and other solar systems. There has got to be a cheap and safe way to cheat gravity. Sometimes I think I know how to do it, but I just can't remember.

1978

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the year 1978.

February 21 – Electrical workers in Mexico City find the remains of the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan in the middle of the city.

Tenochtitlan was a symbolically planned city, following the template of the native cosmic map. Although Mexican archaeologists continue finding better information on the nature and organization of the sacred precinct, we still have a sketchy plan of its former self. The main temple is the best-understood construction in this precinct. On February 21, 1978, workers from the Electric Light Company were digging at the corner of Guatemala and Argentina Streets and discovered a large stone carved with a series of reliefs. Excavations on the spot revealed an enormous monolith 3.25 meters in diameter, with a representation of a decapitated and dismembered female nude carved in relief. It was a depiction of the goddess Coyolxauhqui who, according to Aztec myth, had been killed by her brother, the war-god Huitzilopochtli. The discovery of the Coyolxauhqui stone led the authorities to order further work to expose this central area of Tenochtitlan.

Tenochtitlan

Placement and Context

Understanding the significance of the Coyolxauhqui stone’s location is crucial to comprehending all of its inherent symbolism. On February 21, 1978, electricians working in Mexico City discovered the Coyolxauhqui stone as they were digging beneath the city street level. Before this discovery, archaeologists had been trying to garner attention and political support for excavations of Aztec ruins within the city; but, it was Coyolxauhqui who really got the public and the politicians behind the idea of excavation.

As excavation of the Templo Mayor and surrounding area gathered steam, Coyolxauhqui’s significance became clearer.

The stone was originally placed on the south side of Templo Mayor. The Templo Mayor honors two gods, arguably the most prominent in the Mexica pantheon of deities as we understand it today: Tlaloc and Huitzilopochtli. Each side of the temple aligns with the mountain that corresponds to a deity: The north side of the temple lies on an axis with Mt. Tlaloc, aligning with Tlaloc, and the south side aligns with Mt. Coatepec, the “Serpent Mountain.” If we recall from the chronicles, Mt. Coatepec is the site of the battle between Huitzilopochtli and Coyolxauhqui. However, the symbolism does not end there.

The temples are clearly meant to evoke the significance of these mythological stories and stand in as symbolic mountains within the heart of Tenochtitlan. Mirroring the story of her demise, Coyolxauhqui lays at the bottom of the steps on the side of the Templo Mayor dedicated to Huitzilopochtli, just as she lay dismembered and defeated at the bottom of Mt. Coatepec.

Scholars have reason to believe that located at the top of the Templo Mayor was the sacred bundle representing Huitzilopochtli, and potentially the massive statue of Coatlicue as well. In imperial state religious ceremonies, many of the chronicles describe the manner in which sacrificial victims were brought to the top of the Templo Mayor to be sacrificed and their hearts removed (different variations depending on the occasion). In ceremonies honoring Huitzilopochtli, victims may also have been beheaded and dismembered, in the style of Coyolxauhqui. After the victims fall to the bottom of the steps, Coyolxauhqui awaits them, all of her earth goddess iconography comes into play; her placement suggests that she awaits the sacrificial bodies in order to eat them and restore the earth.

Tenochtitlan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mexico-Tenochtitlan, commonly known as Tenochtitlan was an Aztec altepetl (city-state) located on an island in Lake Texcoco, in the Valley of Mexico. Founded on June 20 of 1325, it became the capital of the expanding Mexican Empire in the 15th century, until captured by the Spanish in 1521.

At its peak it was the largest city in the Pre-Columbian Americas. It subsequently became a cabecera of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Today the ruins of Tenochtitlan are located in Mexico City's downtown.

Ruins

Tenochtitlan's main temple complex, the Templo Mayor, was dismantled and the central district of the Spanish colonial city was constructed on top of it. The great temple was destroyed by the Spanish during the construction of a cathedral. The location of the Templo Mayor was rediscovered in the early 20th century, but major excavations did not take place until 1978–1982, after utility workers came across a massive stone disc depicting the nude dismembered body of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui. This stone disc is 3.25 meters in diameter (or 10.5 ft). These finds are held at the Templo Mayor Museum.

The ruins, constructed over seven periods, were built on top of each other. The resulting weight of the structures caused them to sink into the sediment of Lake Texcoco. This resulted in the ruins now resting at an angle instead of horizontally.

Mexico City's Zócalo, the Plaza de la Constitución, is located at the site of Tenochtitlan's original central plaza and market, and many of the original calzadas still correspond to modern city streets. The Aztec calendar stone was located in the ruins. This stone is 4 meters in diameter and weighs over 20 tons. It was once located half-way up the great pyramid.

Tenochtitlan: Coyolxauhqui stone

Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. (FAMSI)

On February 21, 1978, México City electrical workers were excavating a trench six feet below the street level to the northwest of the cathedral when they encountered a monolithic carved stone block. Archaeologists were immediately called to the scene to salvage what turned out to be an eleven foot in diameter stone disk carved with a relief in human form. Recognizing the symbol of golden bells on her cheeks, salvage archaeologists identified the image as a goddess known as Coyolxauhqui, ‘She Who is Adorned with Bells.’ According to legend the goddess was killed by Huitzilopochtli, her half-brother, and cast down from a mountain called Coatepec meaning Hill of Serpents.”

THE AZTECS: TENOCHTITLÁN

A map of Tenochtitlán made from Cortés’ personal memory and published in 1524. Despite the use of European artistic conventions, it features many accurate details. There were three major causeways that ran from the mainland into the city which was divided into four districts and populated by more than two hundred thousand people. In 1521, Cortés demolished the ceremonial center during the course of the longest continuous battle ever recorded in military history. Ancient Tenochtitlán was lost to memory.

THE AZTECS: TENOCHTITLÁN

Construction of the México City subway during the 1960’s led to the excavation of smaller district and calpulli temples such as a round structure possibly dedicated to Quetzalcoatl now preserved at the Piño Suarez metro station lying seven blocks south of the zocalo. Archaeologists suspected from such chance finds that the ruins of the Great Temple might be found as well.

THE AZTECS: TENOCHTITLÁN

Careful examination of the Coyolxauhqui stone led archaeologists to conclude that the monument was “in situ,” meaning it had never been seen by the Spaniards, much less smashed and reburied like so many other monoliths. Remembering that Coyolxauhqui’s body was said to have come to rest at the foot of the mountain, the archaeologists began to surmise that Coatepec, which is to say its incarnation as the Great Temple itself, might lay very nearby. It was not long before the archaeologists discovered parts of a grand staircase and then the massive stone serpent heads, literally signifying Coatepec, surrounding the base of the pyramid itself. The Great Temple had been found by decoding a thousand year old legend.

Dr. Daniel Jackson
I-I'm gonna need more time. I mean, there's bound to be more structures here, or some other traces of civilization.

[O'Neil starts working on one of the pieces of equipment.]

United States Air Force Colonel Jack O'NEIL
Not this trip. Just get back in there and reestablish contact.

DANIEL
Well, it's not that easy. This is a replica of the great pyramid of Giza. We're not gonna find any hieroglyphic inscriptions or carved relief. I mean, we really need to look around more.

[Ferretti and Kawalski have joined O'Neil and heard Daniel's response.]

O'NEIL
Your job here is to realign the Stargate. Can you do that or not?

[Daniel nods, then shrugs.]

DANIEL
I can't.

[The three look stunned.]

O'NEIL
(threateningly)
You can't or you won't?





DANIEL
I can decipher the symbols on the Stargate, but I need an order of alignment. Now those coordinates were marked on tablets back on Earth and there must be something like that here. And I-I just need to find it.

[He chuckles nervously.]

KAWALSKI
Find it? Whaddya mean, find it? You didn't say anything about "finding" anything.

DANIEL
Well, I assumed the tablets would be here, I mean right here.

O'NEIL
You assumed?!

KAWALSKI
(angry)
You're a lying son of a bitch!
(he shoves Daniel to the ground)
You didn't say a word about finding anything.

Space Shuttle Gaining on Satellite in 1st Day of Pursuit

May 09, 1992 From Associated Press

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — The new space shuttle Endeavour put a half-million miles on the odometer Friday in its first day's pursuit of a $157-million satellite that is doomed without astronaut help.

The two spacecraft, each hurtling toward a meeting on Sunday, closed the gap to 5,400 miles.

Engineers for the broadcasting satellite's owners fired its thrusters by remote control for the third time, dropping the craft to a rendezvous altitude of 226 miles.

Shuttle commander Daniel C. Brandenstein plans to close in on the satellite Sunday so spacewalker Pierre J. Thuot can snatch the 12-by-17 1/2-foot cylinder from orbit. Thuot will be perched on the end of the ship's 50-foot robot arm when he attempts to snag the satellite with a specially designed tool.

The Endeavour team will then latch the satellite to a rocket motor designed to boost the craft to its proper 22,300-mile-high orbit. The satellite was left in a uselessly low altitude two years ago by a mis-wired Titan rocket.

Endeavour's crew of six men and one woman spent Friday getting ready for the mission's main event. Their checklist included lowering the cabin pressure to condition the spacewalkers and testing the robot arm, which is crucial for the three spacewalks planned during the seven-day flight.

One spacewalk is for the satellite rescue, and two are for practicing techniques to build space station Freedom.

NASA purposely gave the astronauts a relaxed schedule Friday and today and delayed the spacewalks to give the astronauts time to adjust to weightlessness.

Shuttle astronauts have never performed three spacewalks on one flight. The space agency needs that experience before trying to fix the Hubble Space Telescope next year and building a space station starting in 1995.

Endeavour's landing at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., on Thursday will feature the first use of a shuttle drag chute.

BECKETT: You see? Nothing. (He gets out of the Chair and starts to walk away.)

McKAY: Carson. Get back here.

BECKETT: I could sit in that chair all bloody day long and nothing would happen. It's a waste of time. Excuse me, Doctor Weir. (He walks away.)

McKAY (to Weir): He's not even trying.

WEIR: But he's the one who discovered the gene this technology responds to.

McKAY: Yeah, well, he said he wished he never had it.

WEIR: Really?

McKAY (incredulously): I know, can you believe that?

(Weir smiles.)

WEIR: We could always test you a third time, Rodney.

McKAY (annoyed): That's very funny.

WEIR: We've only found a handful of people who are genetically compatible with the Ancient technology and despite your heroic efforts to interface ours with theirs, we need every one of them to sit in this Chair, including Doctor Beckett.

McKAY: What am I supposed to do? He's afraid of that thing.

WEIR: This Chair controls the most powerful weapons known to humankind. I'm afraid of the thing. But every time someone sits in it we learn something new about the Ancients who built this outpost. Doctor Beckett should be proud he's genetically advanced.

McKAY: It's not more advanced. It-it is a random characteristic.

WEIR: This really bothers you, this whole gene thing, huh?!

McKAY (sarcastically): Oh, clearly I am overcome with envy.
