The Land of Light is one of the two known areas of P3X-797. It is inhabited by the Untouched. It is contiguous to the Land of the Dark.
Overview
The boundary between the Land of Light and the Land of the Dark is not a line drawn on a map, but a sudden transition: just a few steps are enough to pass from dense, compact darkness to a gentle, almost golden radiance. The planet is very likely in synchronous orbit around its sun.
The first visible structures are temples with painted columns, inspired by a Minoan‑style aesthetic transposed to the scale of an isolated civilization. The frescoes depict leaping bulls, spirals, and geometric patterns reminiscent of the Cretan palaces of the era, according to Dr. Daniel Jackson (SG1: "The Broca Divide").
History
The inhabitants of the Land of Light are former residents of Earth—most likely from ancient Crete—who were taken by the Goa'uld thousands of years ago. Despite the passing of time, this civilization has preserved its culture, which remains almost frozen in time.
