Military
nb: A lot of military sites are being
restricted to .mil / .gov access only, so some of these links may
not work for you. I try to keep up, but I'm bound to miss things.
If you spot a military link that won't let you in, please let
me know. Thanks.

Show-related
(I know, these are thin, and getting thinner
as I weed out dead links. That's because I hate spoilers, and going
to show-related sites of any sort often results in being spoiled.
If you've got links you want me to put here, let
me know what they are and I'll add them.)

| Show canon |
http://www.rdanderson.com
(I consider this to be the source for SG info -- they do an amazing
job)
http://www.gateworld.net/
-- formerly scifiguide.net/stargate
(this would be the other main source -- also great stuff)
http://www.stargatefan.com
(mainly a fanfic archive, but also has episode synopses and some research
material)

(Mythinglinks... -- this page is largely links to other sites, but she
gives her reasons on why she's chosen them, which is helpful)
http://www.kemet.org/glossary/introduction.html
(Kemet.org -- odd site, apparently by a temple where the ancient Egyptian
gods are worshipped as the many names of Netjer, the One God of Ancient
Egypt. But a nice big list, including Egyptian names, the Greek/Roman
versions [which is largely what we get on SG -- even includes Harseisis!],
and Wallis Budge's translations [usually wrong, but still well-known])
