Ra is an Asgard (IMO)
In the Stargate film that came out in 1994, there was the primary villain character named, Ra. This article is not about the Real Life Mythological Being named Ra. This article is only about the fictional character in the Stargate film. Anyways, the movie always stuck out in my mind as an excellent one. But after seeing all of Stargate SG-1 and then recently re-watching the 1994 film…I noticed something. There was a scene where Ra was laying down in what I’m guessing was a sarcophagus. But when he was laying there, chilling, I realized he looked familiar.
In fact, he looked strikingly similar to an Asgard from Stargate SG-1.
Then it all hit me. We know that Ra was a Goa’uld because he could use the naquadah technology. So that means he must have definitely been the parasite inside the host. But what I’m guessing is that Ra, being the most powerful of the system lords, must have had an extremely powerful host body. And that host body was an Asgard. That would make sense why Ra was the most powerful, an Asgard host body and mental capabilities would give Ra access to tremendous technology and knowledge. It would make him the most likely candidate for being the strongest of the system lords. But of course the only catch is that Asgard bodies are generally weaker and harder to repair than human bodies.
That being said, there were some difference in physique between my alleged Ra in Asgard form and the Asgards from the TV series. The most note-able differences are that Ra has small teeth and no visible nose. But I think that maybe Ra got some plastic surgery before entering his flying pyramid.
