Why This Must Be Read: This story was written back toward the beginning of it all, and is one of the very first on-world action/adventure stories I encountered, way back then, in which a Goa'uld threat is found on Earth ... and in fact this one is the very first story I ever read that used the premise and setting of an archaeological dig site as being the source of that threat. All these years later, I still remember how new to me the concept was (at that time), and how much I enjoyed it. Having re-read it recently and discovering that I still like it every bit as much as before (especially the bit with the rings), I decided to rec it here, in case some of you out there have never heard of or read some of the golden-oldies such as this. I hope you like it.


"Teal'c's right," Sam added. "This archaeologist doesn't know what he's dealing with, and since we can't tell him, well, is there anyway we can stop the dig? Or better yet, take it over ourselves? If there is Goa'uld technology still on earth, then we need to find it. I'd love a chance to take a sarcophagus apart and see if we can figure out how it works. If there's a way of adapting the healing to our use without the resulting addiction problem, it would be invaluable."

"Yeah, though personally, I'm more worried about those traps. Not to mention any weapons that might be still hanging around. If those fell into the wrong hands, it could be a disaster," Jack responded.

"I agree," the General pronounced, "and so does the President. Or he will as soon as I confirm his concerns. I will contact him immediately, but while I do that, I'd like both SG-1 and SG-3 to prepare for a mission - this time in our own backyard."

"Egypt," Daniel breathed. Egypt, where it had all begun.
