The 10 year old inside me is so incredibly excited. My actual 10 year old self was obsessed with tombs and ancient Egypt. I remember a whole summer I couldn't stop thinking about and talking about the "Sphinx on the face of Mars". Thankfully these days I have friends, but I have been rewatching all of Stargate so this is very timely.
I've also been watching Stargate (on season 2), it's fun getting to know the Vancouver area as Jack and friends explore the galaxy but always end up in the PNW ;)
Just found this list of filming locatiobs.

Stargate origins was not a great series, but talks about egypt and stargate :D
Do you watch the movie as a part of this?
sadly, the reboot got cancelled :(
Indeed
impudence
And for the dumbest, most Amazon reason possible

I don't understand the fond reminiscing. The face on Mars is an optical illusion, an example of Pareidolia.

I sincerely hope that no one believes there are monuments or any such constructions on Mars.
You don’t understand fondly reminiscing about when the world seemed more magical? It has nothing to do with the truth of it, it has everything to do with how it felt.
No, I don't. Whenever I learn I've spent time believing something that turned out to be false I always feel a sense of regret.
This reminds me of when I coach a kid in chess and the first thing I ask them is what they want to achieve. A fairly common response is to not lose. At first that doesn't sound unreasonable, yet the goal there doesn't require any coaching at all - simply only play terrible players!
So too with knowledge. The path to never believing anything false would be to simply minimize the amount you learn, and certainly to avoid learning anything developed within the past century or so. It's not a great perspective for self betterment. Learning from one's mistakes is the path to improvement in most of every domain. Mistakes and falsehoods are nothing to regret. If anything, they're something to rejoice over. It's only the fool that believes all he thinks must be true.
I empathize with this more so than the original opposite, more of a lamentation for how stupid I was
