Shroud on Stargate

First details on SG-1's 'The Shroud'
by Darren Sumner

GateWorld has uncovered the astonishing first plot details on "The Shroud," an upcoming episode of Stargate SG-1! Beware of spoilers below -- though they currently cover only the teaser for the episode.

Mitchell, Carter, Teal'c, and Vala visit another world, where yet another village of humans has been approached by a Prior of the Ori. They talk with the village leader, Tevaris, who explains that a Prior has recently visited them and spoke persuasively about the Ori religion.

The team is curious to learn from Tevaris that this particular Prior has yet to make any threats that the village will face death and destruction if they refuse to follow Origin. Instead, he is using a "soft sell" method of evangelism, sharing only the benefits and positive merits of Origin as the one true path to salvation.

When it is announced that the Prior has returned for their answer, SG-1 takes cover to hide from him. The shrouded man walks into the village and asks Tevaris for his answer. At first SG-1 cannot see his face, but when they do they are stunned: With the white hair, a pale face, and milky eyes of a transformed Prior, it is Daniel Jackson.

Guest characters include Tevaris and several villagers.

While the full details of the episode's storyline have yet to be revealed, this stunning turn of events may be what executive producer Joseph Mallozzi was hinting at several months ago when he said that the writers were "kicking around a potentially very controversial Daniel arc for Season Ten."

"The Shroud" is expected to air early in 2007, as part of the second half of SG-1's tenth season. Learn more about what's to come in GateWorld's episode guide!

Having the Shroud on Stargate is getting too close to the new book/DVD for my liking - maybe somebody took a sneak preview.... or I copied Stargate? Who can tell? See below for the latest press release on the Shroud book.

Major New Discovery on the Shroud of Turin

Early in 2007 the Truth about the Shroud of Turin and the Ark of the Covenant will be Revealed

Following years of painstaking research and thousands of miles travelling across the globe international best selling author, Philip Gardiner, will finally reveal how the Shroud was made, whose image it portrays and its age. In addition Gardiner will reveal the links between it, the Ark of the Covenant and Mary herself.

The startling revelations will be shown in both a book and DVD documentary entitled The Ark, The Shroud and Mary due out at the end of March. The book will be published by the USA publishing house New Page books who last year released Gardiner's Gnosis: The Secret of Solomon's Temple Revealed which went best seller for them and has catapulted Gardiner onto the world stage with over 400 radio interviews and appearing on TV, newspapers and general media. The DVD will be released at the same time world-wide by Reality Films part of the world's largest independent entertainment companies, Reality Entertainment. Co-produced by Gardiner and the European wing of Reality, Real2can.com, the production sees Gardiner travel the globe to uncover the whereabouts of the Ark and much more. From Egypt, Ethiopia and India to Portugal, France and Rome, Gardiner unravels a mysterious thread.

The author then finds himself engulfed in a world of secret societies with clandestine meetings in far-off lands and discovers an ancient truth held sacred by the brotherhood for millennia. One author who has watched the film and read the book in advance said:

"A suspense-filled, fact-packed adventure story...an epigrammatic tale that needs to be told to the whole wide world...clearly the next blockbuster movie sequel in the ?Raiders of the Lost Ark? series." Dr. J. J. Harper, author, Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century

Nobody has gone to such depths to uncover the truth and nobody has come under such a dangerous situation. Is this is the final story in the Ark, the Shroud and Mary?

In March Gardiner will be appearing on radio and TV across the USA and world. In June Philip Gardiner will be flying to Australia to speak at the International and Scientific Symposium (www.auforn.com) as well as appearing on TV, radio and at book signings.
