Hall of Wisdom

From The Stargate Omnipedia

Meeting place of K'Tau elders where the people are consulted by recordings of the Norse god Freyr who, in actuality, is the Asgard protector for the world. Individuals gathered in the temple who touch the Asgard device are immediately teleported to this area.

The Hall of Wisdom provides the K'Tau elders just the information they need to govern their people in the ways of the gods. An arrival of elves into the Hall of Wisdom is to be considered a blessing from Freyr.

Behind the projection of the fictional Freyr is a hidden Asgard panel. Shifting the stones into the proper position achieves contact with the Asgard Freyr himself, if he is available. The platform in the Hall allows an image of an individual to travel galaxies into the hall of the Asgard High Council.
