Lost City

A fabled city of the Ancients, believed to hold a cache of advanced weapons and technology. SG-1 discovered a stone tablet written in a dialogue of the Ancients that spoke of the city. It is also likely that Anubis (who coveted the Ancients' technology) discovered a map to the city, which he was finally unable to decipher.

While investigating the newly-discovered Ancient outpost of Atlantus in Antarctica, Daniel Jackson and a research team under the command of Elizabeth Weir discovered that the lost city is, in fact, the mythical city of Atlantis. Once on the continent we now know as Antarctica, Atlantis left the planet and moved to the Pegasus Galaxy between five and 10 million years ago. It was discovered by Weir's Atlantis expedition after Jackson uncovered an eight-symbol gate address to the city's new home planet.
