How Stargate's Ancients and Ascension Came To Be (Dial the Gate)

STARGATE's mythology runs deep with the Ancients, the age-old race that created the Stargate network before ascending to a higher plane of existence. The Ancients are the brainchild of writer and executive producer Robert C. Cooper. Here Rob talks with "Dial the Gate" host David Read about the origins of the Ancients and the alliance of four great races in the Milky Way Galaxy, the idea of ascension to a higher plane, religion and spirituality in the Stargate universe, and how the Ancients evolved over the course of Stargate SG-1's 10-year run. He also talks about creating the Ori, an equally power group of evil ascended beings who have a shared history with the Ancients. Their story was introduced in Season 9 of SG-1, and concluded in the DVD movie STARGATE: THE ARK OF TRUTH -- which Cooper wrote and directed. This clip is from our full-length, 2-hour conversation with Robert C. Cooper.
