“Discovering” the aliens who inspired ancient civilizations is very exciting. You wonder what Ra’s civilization was like.
Were they necessarily as malevolent/tyrannical as Ra was, or did he become like that only after taking a human host?
Good point. SG-1 made Ra the king of the Goa’uld, but for all we know from the film he was an exiled serial killer or power corrupted him over time.
Does SG-1 ever say that the Goa’uld were dying before Ra’s arrival on Earth?
