The world later designated P5C-353 is dying. The organisms that live on the planet create an orb in which they sleep for 100,000 years waiting for someone to take them through the stargate. Once exposed to the atmosphere of a living planet, they will awaken.
100,000 years before "A Matter Of Time"
"This artifact has been doing this since Neanderthals were still a dominant species on Earth." - Carter
"Ah, that takes me back... " - O'Neill
28000 BC
A ship leaves the Asguard homeworld with a crew placed in suspended animation. A failure in the navigation system causes the ship to start drifting.
30,000 years before "Revelations"
"Any ideas?" - O'Neill
"We cannot risk capture. We must destroy the ship ourselves." - Heimdall
"Any good ideas?" - O'Neill
15000 BC
Agriculture is first practised in Egypt.
Recorded history.
13000 BC
A gate terminal is constructed on Hadante.

"P2A-509!" - Jackson
"Little brain damage along the way?" - O'Neill

"Com-traya." - Harlan
"Whatever." - O'Neill
8000 BC
The Goa'uld Ra arrives in Egypt, takes a boy as his host and declares himself ruler of Earth. Humans from what he calls Ta'uri are taken through Stargate to other worlds as slaves.
In "Stargate" Daniel described the arrival of Ra on Earth. The coverstones are carbon-dated as 10,000 years old. Not completely conclusive, but the director's cut of "Stargate" also includes a new opening scene that has a caption reading, "8,000 BC." The name 'Ta'uri' comes from Teal'c in "The Enemy Within"
A gold amulet is created representing Osiris carrying a crook and flail, scepters of kingship, and an ankh, a symbol of immortality.
In "The Curse" the carbon-date test on the amulet puts it as 10,000 years old, and Daniel describes the amulet as well.
Goa'uld experiments with a mineral called naquadria on Kelowna cause an accident that wipes out the ancient Kelownans. Naquadria is recorded as a highly unstable radioactive variation of naquadah with the potential for energy production far greater.
10,000 years before "Meridian"
3000 BC
There is a rebellion on Earth. Ra is overthrown and the Stargate is buried. Egyptian civilisation flourishes on Earth. Reading and writing is outlawed on other Goa'uld-occupied planets to prevent a re-occurrence.
In "Stargate" Daniel described the events as happening 5,000 years ago.
The Bronze Age begins at around this time.
Recorded history.
The northern and southern kingdoms of Egypt are united under Menes, the first king of the First Dynasty.
Recorded history. It is interesting to note that these last two events happened at the same time the occupation ended. Merely coincidence? Don't know. Also note that in "The Curse" Daniel says that Osiris was the first pharoah. My source material suggests that Menes was the first ruler. It may just be that Osiris ruled Egypt during the occupation, but Daniel's statement does come from Egyptian mythology.
The last known record of the Goa'uld Seth, also known as Setekh, Set, Seti or Setesh is from around this time.
In "Seth" Jacob says that their records of Seth's whereabouts ended with the burial of the Earth gate in Egypt.
"A Serpent guard, a Horus guard, and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet. It is a tense moment. The Serpent guard's eyes glow. The Horus guard's beak glistens. The Setesh guard's nose drips." - Teal'c
At about this time, Minoan culture properly begins on Crete. Each period of the civilization is marked by advanced pottery design, copper and bronze weapons and construction of palaces and fine houses. Descendants are found on P3X-797.
Recorded history. The inhabitants of P3X-797 are discovered by SG1 in "The Broca Divide"
2900 BC
The Third Dynasty in Egypt is founded by King Zoser. He rules with help from the Goa'uld Imhotep. Imhotep builds the pyramid of Zoser at Saqqara, the world's first large stone structure, a tomb that replicates earlier, lower brickwork buildings called mastabas. Imhotep is later deified by the Egyptians, but among the Goa'uld he never achieves power of any kind, never becoming a system lord.
Recorded history. Imhotep's Goa'uld status and standing is recounted in "The Warrior"
"Imhotep himself declared your days were numbered." - K'tano
"Well, that’s fine, as long as it’s a really big number." - O'Neill

The origins of the Mayan civilization on Yucatan Peninsula. The Mayans built stone buildings and stepped pyramids without metal tools, used hieroglyphic writing, were skilled potters, weavers and farmers, and regulated their rituals by observations of Venus.
Recorded history. Hathor was discovered in a Mayan pyramid in "Hathor" and a giant Mayan pyramid was discovered on P7X-377 in "Crystal Skull"
2500 BC
The Great Pyramids are built at Giza, Egypt.
Recorded history. This came from a different source than the separate references to the pyramids and is included as an alternative. Any confusion as to when the pyramids were built may be put down to the fact that history failed to record that aliens once ruled Earth, so many entries are likely to conflict with other accounts.
2205 BC
The Goa'uld Yu-Hu'ang Shang-ti, or Yu The Great, founds the Xia Dynasty (the first recorded dynasty) in China. As one of China's first emperors, he governs under harsh rule, but brings advances and positive influences.

Omoroca of the Oannes arrives in Babylon on Earth to fight the Goa'uld. She is killed by the Goa'uld Belus leaving behind her mate, Nem, unaware of her fate.
4,000 years before "Fire And Water" Ra had been overthrown at this point, possibly having returned to try and reclaim Earth. This has not been mentioned in the series, which is why it does not appear in the main text.
2000 BC
In astronomy, Babylonian priests make their first observational records.
Recorded history. Babylon is where Omoroca went according to "Fire And Water" and a Babylonian ziggurat is discovered on P2X-338.

The Phoenicians begin to build up their empire. Symbols similar to Phoenician letters are found on a mine in a system once inhabited by the Tobin civilization. When they became extinct, they left behind a large minefield designed to protect their planet.
Recorded history. SG1 (minus Teal'c) visited the minefield in "The Serpent's Venom"

Queen Egeria, a Goa'uld, Roman goddess of fountains and childbirth, advisor to Numa Pompilius, comes to Earth to stop the Goa'uld from taking humans as slaves. Through her offspring, she founds a movement known as the Tok'ra, "against Ra."
From "Crossroads" As with the Omoroca reference, since Ra had been overthrown at this point, it seems Earth was just a background for the fight. The timeframe comes from the time of Numa Pompilius' rule as Egeria was his advisor.
689 BC
Babylon is destroyed by the Assyrians.
Recorded history.
670 BC
Egeria is killed by Ra.
Alright, this date comes from the end of Numa Pompilius' reign. I really don't know when Egeria was killed.

Recorded history. As before, for relevance, see below.
528 BC
It is suggested in later years by Dr. Daniel Jackson, that the theology of a planet called Kheb may have been the beginning of Buddhism. It coincides with a man called Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) finding enlightenment. Siddhartha Gautama finds the ascetic life futile, choosing the middle way of meditation and starts travelling up and down the Ganges founding monastic orders of a new religion, now known as Buddhism.
Recorded history. Told you it was relevant. Daniel theorizes in "Maternal Instinct" about the beginnings of Buddhism relating to the theology of Kheb.
7 BC
Birth of Jesus Christ as determined by astronomers on the basis of a conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter within the constellation Pisces, giving the appearance of a huge new star.
Recorded history. The relevance of Christ's birth relates to a group of Medieval Christians found on another planet in "Demons"
