From indications in the show, each season of it is intended to correlate to one year in the show's story (and each season takes 1 year to air). For example, in Season 9, many characters mention how it's been "8 years" since they first came into conflict with the Goa'uld (beginning of Season 1). Using this information, it is possible to extract timelines based on information stated in episodes and also the relative positioning of the episodes throughout a season.

| "Several million years"[3] BC |
- Before prelude of "Rising":[4]
- The Alterans (Ancients) evolve in a distant galaxy and progress to a scientific level far beyond that of present-day humanity.
- Members of the Alterans Ascend to a higher plane of existence.
- The Ori, a subfaction of the Ascended Alterans, become determined to increase their own power and control the inhabitants of the lower planes of existence. The Ascended Alterans gravitate towards a belief of free will and self-determination on the part of lower beings. Ultimately, the two split apart and become hostile on both the Ascended and non-Ascended planes.
- The Ori begin seeking to convert all free beings to Origin, a religion devoted to the increase of their power. They seek to use this power to eliminate the Ascended Alterans. Over the course of many millennia they secure domination of their galaxy.
- The Alterans come to the Milky Way and seed a network of Stargates on its many planets. They settle on Earth. The Ascended among them shield the Milky Way from the Ori.
- The Alterans suffer from a devastating plague, possibly of Ori origin. Many try to Ascend to escape.
- During and after prelude of "Rising":
- Atlantis, the Alterans capital city, which has been stationed on Earth at the Ancient Outpost, departs for the Pegasus Galaxy via its stardrive. Some speculate that they were fleeing from the plague.
- An Alteran named Aiyana is left behind for unknown reasons, and ends up frozen in ice.
- After the city leaves, the Alterans activate the Dakara Superweapon to try and reseed life in the galaxy after the plague. "Threads"

There is no mention of which other galaxy the Alterans came from, or whether it was the same one seen as the Ori home galaxy in Stargate SG-1 Season 9. |
"Rising", "Lost City", "Frozen", "Avalon" |
| Between "several million years" and 8,000 BC |
- The Alterans encounter the Iratus Bug in the Pegasus Galaxy and, most likely by feeding on them, the bug acquires Alteran DNA, rapidly evolving into the humanoid species, the Wraith.
- After the Wraith become sufficiently advanced and numerous, and seek human life to feed on, the Alterans and the Wraith go to war. The Alterans, with their vastly superior technology, can win almost every battle, but due to numbers, cannot win the war.
- The Alterans attempt to create a new form of power to use against the Wraith. Designated Project Arcturus, the experiment is unsuccessful and obliterates the surface of Doranda, the planet where the experiment was located, killing many.
- In their desperate search for better weapons against the Wraith, the Alterans create nanites to infiltrate and kill living beings. This has unintended consequences, however, when the nanites evolve, eventually into the humanoid Asuran. Seeing that their experiment has gotten out of hand, they attempt to destroy all traces of it, but fail.
- With them losing the war and desperate to escape the Wraith, the Lanteans create a DNA manipulating device in order to help themselves Ascend in a short period of time. Some of the Lanteans affected by the device are successful and do ascend, while some others die.
- Back in the Milky Way galaxy, the Goa'uld and Unas evolve on P3X-888.
- The Asgard in the galaxy of Ida begin exploring space within and outside their galaxy (c. 30,000 BC).
- The Goa'uld learn to take the Unas as hosts. They learn to use the Stargate on their planet, which had been left there by the Alterans. They travel to other planets in these Unas hosts, conquering and multiplying.
- Because of their absence from the Milky Way Galaxy, and the extreme age of the technology which remains, those species which evolve after their exodus name the Alterans 'the Ancients'.
- The war between the Wraith and the Lanteans in the Pegasus galaxy, during which many of the Lanteans ascended to avoid being culled, escalates to the point where Atlantis is constantly under siege. The Lantean people decide to give up and leave Atlantis for Earth by going through the Stargate. Atlantis, protected by a powerful force-shield, is submerged to the bottom of the ocean. The Lanteans leave Atlantis to find that the native peoples on Earth were still quite primitive, preventing them from ever rebuilding their great civilization, so the Lanteans lived out the rest of their lives with the native peoples.

"Rising", "Lost City", "38 Minutes", "Trinity", "Progeny" |
| 8,000 BC[5] |
- The Ancients on Earth go on to influence the language and mythology of Ancient Rome, the myths of Greece, and form the basis of the Arthurian Legends. Many Ancients continued to use the Stargate network, and formed an Alliance of Four Great Races, with the Nox, the Asgard and the Furlings, who had become very advanced. This Alliance lasts for centuries.
- The Goa'uld discover Earth and Humans, and abandon Unas as hosts. They take dominion over many areas of Earth, particularly Egypt, and pose as Gods.
- Alternate timeline: Elizabeth Weir is rescued from the Ocean after accidentally travelling backwards in time from the year 2004, using an altered Puddle Jumper. She befriends the Ancient Janus, who programs Atlantis to rise from the Ocean if the shields fail, blocks all but the Earth gate from making connections to Atlantis, and puts Weir in a cryonic sleep, to be found by her alternate self 10,000 years later.
|
The alternate timeline, although explained after the first, is in fact the real one correlating to the main reality of Stargate. |
"Before I Sleep", "Avalon" |
| Between 8,000 BC and 3,000 BC |
- Humans become slaves and worship the Goa'uld. In Egypt, the theocracy founds Egyptian mythology.
- Various Goa'uld transport humans as slaves to other planets using the Stargates, in order to create more of an abundance of humans throughout the galaxy. (This results in the Goa'uld affecting various other Earth mythologies.) Particularly, ancient Egyptians are taken to the planet Abydos to work as slaves.
- Ra becomes the Supreme System Lord and the only Goa'uld ruling Earth.
- The last remaining Ancients either die out or Ascend.
- Omoroca arrives on Earth and attempts to prevent the Goa'uld from securing domination over Humanity. The Goa'uld Belus kills Omoroca, though it has been theorized that her influence led to the eventual Human rebellion.
|
|
Stargate, "Moebius", "Fire and Water" |
| 3,000 BC[6] |
- The Humans of Earth rebel against the Goa'uld Ra, possibly instigated by the Oannes, and free themselves of his domination. The Stargate on Earth is buried and Human civilization begins its natural evolution.
- Alternate timeline:
- SG-1 arrive in ancient Egypt via a time-traveling Puddle Jumper. They locate a ZPM that belonged to the ruling Goa'uld, Ra, and bury it. However, their actions upset causality too severely, and they have no choice but to stay there and never return to the future.
- SG-1 instigate an uprising against Ra, not wanting to live in servitude and hiding. The uprising is successful, causing Ra to leave Earth with the Stargate.
- The future SG-1 came from has been drastically altered, primarily because Ra took the Stargate with him when he departed. They leave a message for the future, hoping that whoever discovers the message will be able to repair the damage. An alternate SG-1 comes back to Egypt and helps the original fix the timeline. They instigate the rebellion again, and it is again successful, but this time they make Ra leave without the Stargate, which is sealed in the sands of Giza. Ra goes to Abydos.
|
The second half of this alternate timeline (the "fixed" half) is in fact the version of the timeline corresponding to the reality of the Stargate universe after Season 8 of Stargate SG-1 (Season 1 of Stargate Atlantis). |

| 1996 |
- Events of the film:
- Daniel Jackson, now a brilliant Egyptologist and Linguist, but shunned from the academic world due to his farfetched theories about the construction of the pyramids, gives a lecture on such a theory. As it fails, Catherine Langford contacts him and takes him to Cheyenne Mountain to aid in the deciphering of strange hieroglyphs that were found on the cover-stones of the still-enigmatic Stargate.
- Jackson realises they are not hieroglyphs but constellations, such that seven can plot a course through space. The Stargate is revealed to him, and he figures out the seventh symbol to complete a dialing address to the planet Abydos. Jack O'Neil commands a team, with Jackson as interpreter, and they step through the gate. O'Neil is given a secret order to detonate a large nuclear bomb on the other side if there is any threat.
- On the other side they discover the descendants of Ra's slaves, the Abydonian people. Daniel is married to a native, Sha're , as a gift, although he doesn't realise what happened until later.
- When Ra realises they have come he attacks and captures the members of the Earth exploration team that remained with the Stargate. There is a further problem - the cover stones on this side are broken and Jackson can't find the seventh symbol needed to dial home. O'Neil tries to detonate his bomb but finds it has been taken by the Goa'uld. Before they know it, Ra's guards capture them.
- Native Abydonians, including Skaara, help Daniel and O'Neil escape. When Daniel works out the seventh symbol, they hatch a plan to reach the gate before Ra uses it to send O'Neil's nuclear bomb back to Earth, enriched with the mineral they mine on the planet - the result would be apocalyptic. Ultimately, after they have overpowered Ra's guards, Ra tries to escape in his ship, but O'Neil Rings the bomb onto his ship, where it detonates in space and kills Ra, freeing the Abydonian people.
- Daniel Jackson helps O'Neil dial home, but stays on Abydos after having fallen in love with his wife Sha'uri.
- Subsequent events:
- O'Neil returns to Earth and files a false report that Daniel Jackson was killed and that the Abydonian gate was destroyed. Then he finally retires.

- Colonel Jack O'Neill's wife/ex-wife was named Sarah rather than Sara.
- Colonel Jack O'Neil's son was named Tyler rather than Charlie.
- Dr. Jackson's wife's name was Sha'uri, rather than Sha're.

Whilst searching for the Eye of Ra, Daniel discovers a tablet written by the Ancients pointing them to a Lost City of theirs - Atlantis. He realises that Atlantis is more important than the Eye of Ra - if SG-1 can find Atlantis then they will have access to the most advanced of all Ancient technology - enough to defeat the Goa'uld. Ultimately, just as the Eye of Ra reaches Anubis, who powers his weapons to destroy all of Abydos, a large portion of the combined fleet of all the System Lords led by Lord Yu (who managed to create an alliance of all the system lords against Anubis) surrounds Anubis. A battle follows, in which the system lord's fleet is destroyed. Anubis turns his weapons on Abydos.
