So, I googled if the Atlantis Gateroom stairs Ancient writing could actually be translated and it turns out some clever fanpeoples have already done just that, and I swear to whoever that it should be on a sign being held up at an American airport right about now.
We hold these as the truth
A hearty welcome to those of other worlds
Visiting our home for the first time welcome again
To those returning you have been gone too long and your
Absence has weighed heavily on our souls we are
Whole again that you are among us and we celebrate you being here
again
As we leave for distant worlds we pledge to respect the lands of
Our neighbours and to act with integrity as ambassadors in peace time
Of our people travellers with open hearts will always be welcome
refugees
From tyranny may seek shelter under our roof and our people will lay
Down their lives to protect the weak and the just let this be our
pledge to those
Inhabitants of this world and all we may ever know we will always
strive to
Come in peace as we go in peace and you will be welcome on our shores
forevermore

okay this is awesome and beautiful but part of me will always be disappointed that it wasn’t the Star Trek prologue
How the hell could they put so much thought into this and be such flaming idiots about so much else when it came to the worldbuilding and details?
Because this was the work of one person, and the show was built by committee.
that last comment explains everything that went wrong with Stargate Atlantis
