I do not own the characters of the Mummy, Stargate SG-1, or Indiana Jones, I'm afraid, no matter how much I'd like to. I do own this story however, and am quite happy with it, so please be nice and R&R. Constructive criticism is appreciated as long as it is put kindly. I will try to incorporate your comments into my story if I think they make sense.

Enough from me! I'll just let you enjoy the story now:)

Back when the Earth was young, and when the Tauri were still a primitive people, Ra ruled the planet. These were his days of glory, when none questioned his authority, and life was good for Goa'uld, if not for his slaves. Although his authority was supreme, he posted his lieutenants, called the Eyes of Ra, in different parts of the planet to oversee his kingdom and to ensure that the Tauri stayed faithful to him. Bastet, Shu, and Tefnut, Ra's three Eyes, reminded the Tauri of their places and put down revolts with an iron hand.

The slaves held the Eyes in awe, for they were different from their god, but were still very powerful. The Eyes used this awe to their master's advantage, striking fear into the hearts of the people whenever they could, for Ra's glory was their joy.

As the centuries went on, the hold of Ra and his Eyes began to slip, for the Tauri began to doubt their god, and uprisings became more frequent. Now when the Eyes destroyed rebellious leaders of the Tauri, these men were looked upon as martyrs instead of as sinners, and resentment against the Eyes and Ra himself grew.

Finally, in an effort that would change the history of earth, the slaves attacked the Eyes, starting with Tefnut, and soon the revolutions spread to take down Bastet and Shu as well. Left vulnerable without his Eyes, and unable to regain control of the Tauri, Ra fled Earth with his most faithful human slaves and his Jaffa for the nearby planet of Abydos. He never returned Earth, and kept his slaves on Abydos ignorant on what had happened there. He ruled there in safety until the 20th century, when Earth sent out its first explorers through the Stargate.

Ra's Eyes, on the other hand, were each sealed in a personal sarcophagus and Shu and Tefnut were buried as deeply as the Tauri could dig them. Bastet's sarcophagus was banished through the Circle of the gods and was forever exiled as the Tauri hid the Circle under the sands. All information of the Eyes and the Circle was allowed to be lost and forgotten, for fears that Eyes might be rediscovered and attempt to return Ra to the throne.

So there they lie in their different resting places, awaiting the day that they might be uncovered and walk the Earth once more. Their hopes lie in bringing Ra back into power, for it is only then that they will be restored to their former glory.

So they wait, silently influencing time from their tombs….
