Screenshot from Timekeepers, looks like bad fan art.

Seriously, it's like covering your car in giant random numbers and letters.

Stargate is riddled with stuff like this I wouldn't look to into it. One of my faves is the abbadon cartoosh . Yeah, and advanced race of alien beings is going to build a temple and carve shit into the walls to record addresses, instead of IDK, storeing that info on their super advanced computers.

Cartouche*

Also weren’t the Abbados addresses carved by Goa’uld, specifically Ra?

Abydos*

But yes, probably Ra.

Well, yes and no.

The cartouche was a formal record hall, just like we see in real ancient Egypt. This is decal work, and I believe we have never seen the Stargate glyphs used as bling before.

Yeah I know. My point is the goa'uld would have no practical use for them, let alone one that stored sensitive data such as gate addresses.

"Can you workout what it says on the side of that structure?"

" Yeah one second.... A...L...W...A...Y...S...D...R...I...N...K...Y...O...wait a minute!"

Imagine an Ancient showing up and seeing one of these pyramids and to him the sides are just “AUEJGMVYEOOTJCJWQOE”. Dude would probably crack up.

Strange idea considering those symbols are not in Goa'uld language but instead in the language of the Ancients 😅

Well sort of. They are mostly constellations as seen from Earth
