The Ancients are a fictional race in the Stargate universe.
The Ancients are the race credited with building the system of Stargates. Dr. Daniel Jackson translated many and various writings where the Ancients were referred to as the road builders and thoughout SG-1's travels they gathered more information about them. All discoveries relative to the early Ancients race indicate that they were originally humanoid in form. And, in fact had evolved originally on Earth several million years ahead of Humans.
However, there came a time that many of the Ancients "ascended" to a higher plane of existence (spatial) to escape a plague that was decimating their population. Their ascended form allows them to be seen and heard by ordinary humans and then disappear at will. Near the end of Season Five, Daniel Jackson became exposed to a lethal amount of radiation and was approached just prior to his death by an ascended Ancient whom he met on the planet Kheb named Oma Desala. With her assistance Daniel ascended and joined the Ancients, but in an early Season Seven episode Daniel was cast back out of his ascended state for over-stretching his authority in an attempt to help SG-1 and save Abydos.
The Ancients are a member of the alliance of four great races. In addition to the Stargates, the Ancients left behind the Repository of the Ancients and the city of Atlantis.
