who is apep?

Lulu probably knows the history better than me, but Apep was sort of an evil deity with the form of a serpent and the enemy of Ra, in contrast to Lulu's servant of Ra. OK, so it's not really ha-ha funny.

Apep2
Type/Species: Sea Serpent
Origin: Egypt

History: At first, Apep was the Egyptian Sun god. However, he was replaced by Ra, and he became very irked about it. Apep became a symbol of evil, and he was depicted often as a serpent-dragon. You see, Ra would travel through the Underworld, Amenta, every night in his Boat of the Sun. Each night, Apep would try to end Ra's journey, but each night he failed. On occasions, what we call eclipses, Apep would succeed on his mission, but later he would reguirgitate.
This is why Apep was considered a symbol of Chaos. He also controled things such as Thunderstorms and such, which is another reason Egyptians never worshiped him. They mutilated wax, and even spit upon it, in hopes that Ra would always prevail over this Apep.
Though this creature is depicted as having no limbs, I have heard excerpts of books that say that this creature did have them. However, Ra seems to have "cut them off" or such things.
Symbolism: Apep was a symbol of Chaos and of an eclipse.
Physical Description: Most depict him as a large, whale-shaped serpent rather than a skinny eel-shaped serpent. He is a sea serpent, without wings, and a huge, enormous body.

Daniel.. Yeah, I've heard women say that before. He started out as a stereotypical skinny nerd that all of us real life nerds could identify with and ended up with the broadest shoulders on the show. While Teal'c was getting fat, Daniel was getting fit.

MacGyver ftw!
