The Giza coverstone is an artifact who was located in Giza, Egypt found by Professor Lanfgord and his team in 1928. Along with the Stargate, the coverstone was transported in the United States and stored inside the Cheyenne Mountain Complex.
Overview
The coverstone is formed by thirteen pieces forming a ring and a central round piece with a cartouche on it. Around the central stone is a warning written in Ancient Egyptian:
Dr. Gary Meyers translated the cartouche using Budge's books:
time million sky Ra sun god
coffin forever to eternity
door to heaven
Yet in 1995, Daniel Jackson fixed the translation and found this:
A million years into the sky is Ra, sun god,
sealed and buried for all time
his Stargate
The cartouche is formed with six symbols inside it and a seventh one located at the bottom and part of it.
History
Circa 3,000 BC, the Ancient Egyptians rebelled against Ra, buried the Stargate and put the coverstone as a warning, avoiding any Stargate incoming (Stargate, SG1: "Moebius", Part 2).
