Stargate SG-1/Atlantis -- What's It About?

The Man Who Would Be King (1975)

Stargate SG-1 is the TV series version of the movie Stargate, which is almost identical to The Man Who Would Be King. (See Sunman Moonman) ( In Stargate the Luke character is Daniel Jackson and the Han Solo character is Colonel Jack O'Neil. ) As in The Man Who Would be King one of the characters (Daniel) wears Masonic Symbols as a gift given by an old wise friend. (square and compass and eye of horus)

The story arc of SG-1 is about Jack and Daniel and the Stargate team battle against a parasitic race called the Goa'uld that take over human beings and pretend to be gods.

What's the story about? What's a Star-Gate?

In an old post I wrote "the Stars Taught Men Math". That's what a star-gate really is--navigators used celestial geometry to discover their location on Earth. They also figured out that many religious stories are symbolic encodings of celestial events. (e.g. Eye of Horus = Eclipse--Odin Obtaining Wisdom by Losing an Eye)

Stargate's about securing a rational understanding of the world while being opposed by parasitic overlords who use technology and religion to dupe and control masses of ignorant men.
