Stargate wasnt based on a true story ?

Now don't let them tell you that
QUOTE
Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin were sued by an Egyptology student for allegedly stealing the storyline as the student had submitted the story to them about ten years before the movie was made (they "rejected" the story at the time). The plaintiff had a respected Egyptologist from Johns Hopkins University vouch for him, since he had put his own theories into the story. The only differences between the story and the movie are slight name variations. The issue was finally settled out of court.

It is also interesting to note that Hathor's Temple in Dendera is the place all those 'light bulbs' were found engraved on the walls

WORKING DEMOhttp://www.thelivingmoon.com/43ancients/02...tricity_03.htmlJust in case anyone is interested, Richard Dean Anderson was made an honorary brigadier general by the air force chief of staff. Here is Richard Dean Anderson at the Pentagon in 2004 being honoured by the USAF. In the below photo we can see General John Jumper giving Anderson the honourary General stars. Notice that Richard is also being presented with Airforce Wings. This puts an interesting slant on the fact that Lt Col O'Neill (Richard Anderson) is the producer of Stargate- SG-1.
In an Air Force Space Commands Press Release... After the point of contact... there is an interesting reference...History
Missile warning and space operations were combined to form Air Force Space Command in 1982. During the Cold War, space operations focused on missile warning, and command and control for national leadership. In 1991, Operation Desert Storm provided emphasis for the command's new focus on support to the warfighter. ICBM forces were merged into AFSPC in 1993.

In Popular Culture
In the popular TV series Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, the Stargate Program is run by the Air Force Space Command. The AF Space Command Patch was worn on the uniform of personnel aboard the Prometheus, Earth's first operational deep space battle cruiser.
This has been included even in Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Space_CommandSo now go out and watch the series IN ORDER and pay attention to the details, not the story
And most important pay close attention to the plot of Wormhole Extreme... it has it all Aliens, Ships MIB's and my favorite part is this...
HAMMOND
He sold the idea to the studio. He's
currently working on production as a
creative consultant.
TEAL'C
Then Martin Lloyd has seriously breached
your security.
HAMMOND
Not necessarily.
DANIEL
What? He obviously got the whole thing
from his knowledge of the Stargate program.
O'NEILL
If the Air Force didn't want it to happen
they wouldn't have let it go this far.
HAMMOND
Plausible deniability. In the event
of a future breach of security, we'll
be able to point to this television
programme. That is, if it stays on the
air.
