...In 1928, on an archaeological dig, Professor Langford discovers an ancientEgyptian artefact at Giza. It is a strange stone circle, about twenty feet in diameter, covered in unusual and as yet indecipherable hieroglyphs. As is normal in these cases the US Army takes the stone into ‘protective custody!’ Alas nobody knows what is does or how to use it. Seventy years go by and they are still working on the hieroglyphs. This is still a civilian operation, headed up by Katherine Langford, (the professor’s daughter). The team has got as far as deciphering six of the symbols on the stone but are at a loss to the seventh. Enter Doctor Daniel Jackson, an ancient language and text whiz-kid.
