An Irish Stargate?

SteltekMaster · Nov 13th 2003, 12:43am

I was just thinking of an idea, and wondering if it was ever done on SG-1:

There is a story of a great metal edifice that once stood in Ireland - it was called Crom Cruach. People would bring their children and animals to be sacrified to the god of this edifice - this god, it was said, was dangerous even if you worshipped him, and at one point killed many of his followers just to set an example.

Now the interesting thing is that it is said when Saint Patrick came he destroyed it - by burying it.

There's an SG-1 episode in there, somewhere.

Puts on SG fatigues and pulls bolt back on P90. Oh right, who wants to kill us a snake?

You should write to them and tell them your idea. Sounds good.
Id like to see some Leprachauns, lots of leprachauns actually...with staff weapons

Try these: http://www.pantheon.org/articles/c/crom_cruach.html
http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/tammuz6...om_Cruach.html

I got these from Google. A lot of the other links say Crom Cruach was a snake like god.

Also didn't St Patrick get rid of all the snakes in Ireland?

Leprechaun: You dare steal me pot o' gold?! *eyes glow*
O'neil: Oh come on...do we have to take this guy seriously?
Leprechaun: You better be bowin' down to your god!
O'neil: Can I shoot Hank the angry drunken dwarf now?

The Leprechauns have to say everything that they say in Rhyme.

I come from the land of the Irish spring
Dublin's the place where I learned my thing
From the Emerald Isle through your stargate
Don't steal me gold or I'll get irate.

Lep through the gate, gonna get irate.
Lep through the gate, gonna get irate.

And they're served by these really hot women who wear sunglasses in order to hide the fact that they have glowing green eyes. And they have magic flutes that make everyone who hears them think that they're the best people in the world, no matter what they do.

I'm picturing a Leprechaun speaking with the Goa'uld reverb thing going, and let me tell you, it's damn funny.

I already said that Seth was said to be in Ireland and had cult that was driven out by the St Patty.

Seth.

Yes you're probably right but this Crom Cruach thing brings up the idea of a third Earth Stargate. Soon there'll be one on every street corner.

Crikey, I really don't think we need to get the Thundercats involved.

SteltekMaster · Nov 13th 2003, 12:58pm

St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland!

Street corner in Compton: Stargate Opens and Apophis and some Jaffa come through. Some Gangsta's drive by and the shooting starts. Result: One gang has a some nice new Gold Jewelery and headpieces.

Um, I meant Earth has 3 stargates or 2 after one got blown up at the start of Series 6.

It is said that his cult was introduced by a pre-Christian king names Tigernmus. During the prostrations one Samhain night, he and three fourths of his followers destroyed themselves.

Mass suicide eh? Very Setesh...

Quote:

Crom Cruach, or Cromm Crúac means bloody crescent or bloody bent one

Sort of ring shaped then?

TK99 · Nov 13th 2003, 4:32pm

And remeber Setish came to North America to be near the Stargate so its possible that thats why he was in the Britsh Iles to be near a Stargate.

I can just see it now the SGC discovers SAS where they shouldn't be in the galaxy.

And when they do tell them to bring in Zeus and family too! I think it would be cool to have a meeting between Zeus and Thor

Geographically, Ireland is a British Isle.
Politically, it isnt
