*Leaves a beacon about 10 km south in case anyone wants to follow him.*

Which way are you going JG?

Reefgirl, I am going South but it's going to be a long 10km trek.

kat

See you in 10 hours

*OK kat, I'll wait for you at the beacon.*

See you Reefgirl in 10 hours.

Hi Hussassan I have arrived now at the beacon.

kat

Reefgirl to all units, I've found some ice caves, I'm going in to have a look

Hey JG, I think there's a temple a few klicks thataway, let's check it out.

I'm gonna head west to those mountains. anyone wanna come with?

Hussassan I have found the temple and I have been making notes on the meaning of the symbols on the walls and the alter.

kat

I'm in the caves and..........uh oh I think the Goa'uld have been here there's a sarcophagus in the chamber I'm in, but it's empty, I'm going to contact Chronos and have him pick it up and examine it see if he can see how it works, I'm going further on these caves go on for miles

Reefgirl to Chronos I need you to come to the caves North of you got something you may be interested in

Reefgirl I have seen some writings in the temple that might tell us how old the place is. I have found out there has been a Babylonian type of culture here. I was wondering where the sarcophagus was, congratulations on finding it. Have you found out any more about sarcophagus, are there any writings/symbols on it?

kat

Hmm, these symbols mention the little known System Lord Zeus. He resisted Ra, and it would appear that this temple is his tomb. Now, if there are any secret passages around here...

the caves are about 5k's North of Chronos's base camp I guess if he wasn't too popular with Ra he'd keep the sarcophagus seperate from the temple, I'm running the runes through the computer but I'd say these runes were celtic in origin

The Runes in the temple look familiar, but I always thought they were fictional... when we get back to base camp, I'll have to tell a story. Until then continue research, but remember to be back at base before dark,

<The lanuage seems to be a combination of Britany/Welsh/Cornish/Scottish/Irish/Manx. I have similar inscriptions on the Standing stones of Scotland in the highlands and in the Hebrides.

kat

well if this system lord is anything like her counterpart we are in big trouble, the Runes say she is Morrigan a celtic battle goddess who'd appear over the battlefield in the form of a crow, I don't know if she was a harbinger of death or she just watched over the battle, I'll have to get back to you

These runes are, as I suspected, Elvish, and mention the System Lord Sauron, one who rivalled Ra in terms of power, and had the power to corrupt even the Ancients. He is currently believed to be dead, but there are legends of him returning. Hmmm.... The runes here mention our old friend, Shal'pek. Now what would he be doing with Ra...?

<>i have 2 theories one shal'pek has formed an alliance with ra or that he is a rival to him and want's all his power and dominion.<>
