  • Stargate Lay Under the Sands of Egypt for Ten Thousand Years
    SHEILA BLACK Introduction Daniel shut his eyes, walked into the wall of light, and suddenly saw himself flying among stars, millions of them. He seemed to fly for thousands of years, until. The StarGate lay under the sands of Egypt for ten thousand years. Then, in 1928, some archeologists found a mysterious stone. The writing on it said, ‘A MILLION YEARS INTO THE SKY IS RA, SUN GOD.’ Sixty years later, in the USA, a young archeologist called Daniel Jackson finds a way to open the StarGate again. What is on the other side? Daniel and some soldiers from the United States Army go through the gate to find out. Millions of light years from Earth, they find another world where Ra, the Egyptian Sun God, is king. But his people are not free — they are his prisoners. Ra knows that he must kill the visitors from Earth and close the StarGate for ever. Daniel and the soldiers must fight Ra to stay alive, and then find a way to get home . StarGate is a film by Roland Emmerich. It was one of the most popular films in America in 1994. It starred James Spader as Daniel Jackson, Kurt Russell as Jack O’Neil (O’Neil works for the US Army in the film), and Jaye Davidson as Ra. People have been interested in the life of the Egyptians for thousands of years — their gods, their writing, and their pyramids. The biggest pyramids are at Giza,just outside Cairo. The largest one is that of Pharaoh Khufu. It was built in 2550 BC and is also called the Great Pyramid.
