Just because you were mortal enemies doesn't mean you fought all the time, whereas Seth and Ra did. Apophis didn't really come into much power until Ra was killed, meaning he could have missed out on a whole bunch of tech the other guys had.

Not to mention that 'the other guys' wouldn't have wanted to just share out their fab tech with 'mortal enemies', so Apophis could have just been out of the loop, or wasn't able to 'steal' the tech from anyone around (if that was how they were developed)

We don't know that. And why would that explain why seth had a shield?

Just because you were mortal enemies doesn't mean you fought all the time,

Bloody hell, you gonna parrot stuff back all the time?

Seth and Ra were enemies. Seth pretty much was the enemy of a bunch of the Goa'uld. Why else was he forced to hide on a backwater rock like Earth for 10,000 years!?

Even great enemies in war do not constantly battle each other. War is costly for all concerned (the winner simply loses less and gets first crack at recouping his losses on the blood of his fallen foe). No one engages in constant warfare, but rather faces lulls and peaks in activity. Troops standing to battle, then standing down to reorganize. Pressing an attack takes great effort and resources, and you have to have a period of relative inactivity on the war-front in order to gather that strength. In terms of Goa'uld warfare, this may tally in years' time.

Next time you try shooting back an argument, try presenting some relevant facts. Your "wise" words alone do not dictate truth, kid.

Damn, you worked this all out by yourself?

In case you may not have remembered, you're the one who seemed to have a great problem wrapping your mind around it?

"The Goa'uld have warred with each other since the dawn of time, the system lords war with each other constantly."
Said by whom, in what context, and just how given to poetic license and hyperbole is the speaker? And do you know anything, and I mean shit anything, about the dynamics of warfare?aside from the countless hours of CS you may be addicted to? Did you even read the entirety of my post, or just resign yourself to cleverly clip out sentence fragments in a biased manner to illustrate your tepid and unsupportable points?

You still didn't answer what pressures may have been on Seth to force him to HIDE on Earth. Given the meglomanical nature and superior intelligence of the Goa'uld, why wasn't Setesh ruling this rock in the past millenia instead of lurking about in a two-bit cult? Why hide? Easy enough?enemies who would want to see him dead, and the best defense would be to let those enemies continue their mistaken assumption that he was already gone...

Humans have been at war with each other since the dawn of time, that doesnt mean that every human is fighting someone else all the time ya know.

Then again, to take the saying literally, they were at war during the creation of the universe.

Seth must have just stock piled them from either the assasines that the System Lords sent or from way back when he first went into hiding.

If you went into hiding from a very powerful collective of beings then im sure you would want to protect yourself in some way. Zat's are very stealthy and can do a wide range of damage. Im sure before he planed to overthrow Ra, he would have perseeved the fact that he might not be victorious. future developments would have been calculated and storage of weapons effective immediatly that the Cue was found not efective.
