This movie, written by the same guy who wrote and directed the movie 2012 contains an interesting segment when they are deciphering the ancient heiroglypics found on the alien planet:
A traveler from distant stars escaped from a dying world looking for a way to extend his own life. His body decaying and weak couldn’t prevent his own demise so he traveled or searched the galaxies looking for a way to cheat death. He came to a world rich with life where he encountered a primitive race: humans. A species with all his powers and knowledge could maintain indefinitely. He realized within a human body he had a chance for a new life. He apparently found a young boy curious without fear who walked towards the light. Ra took him and possessed his body. Inhabiting this human form he appointed himself ruler. He used the stargate to bring thousands of people to this planet as workers for the mines. A rebellion or uprising buried the stargate.
