Abydos (Stargate)

Abydos (Stargate address: ) is the fictional world on which the film Stargate is set. Between the events of the film and television series Stargate SG-1, it was believed to be the only other planet the Stargate could dial to as the planet was closest to Earth in the Stargate network.Abydos is orbited by three moons, upon which the Stargate symbol for their world is based. The planet is also home to a large animal, resembling something between a buffalo and a horse (In the Director's commentary of the Stargate movie the creature is referred to as a Mastadge), and a small horned reptile used for nourishment by the people of Abydos. The planet has a thirty-six hour day.
