Ancient stargates were portals to other dimensions

Yes, ancient stargates or 'stargates' have been portrayed in mythology, in many esoteric teachings and in works of science fiction as portals that open to different dimensions, galaxies or other points in space-time. These portals may have appeared in the beliefs of ancient civilizations in history, particularly among the Sumerians, Egyptians, and people of Mesopotamia. These portals, especially in connection with alien beings such as the "Anunnaki" in Sumerian mythology, were believed to allow gods to travel between Earth and different dimensions or star systems.

Based on theories from modern writers, some propose that these portals may have existed and that ancient civilizations may have accessed knowledge or technology through them. For example, places like the Hayu Marca Gate in Peru, Baalbek, or ancient structures like the Egyptian pyramids are believed to be sites of possible "stargates." However, these claims remain mostly mythological or speculative, as there has been no concrete scientific evidence to confirm the existence of such portals to date.

In the world of science fiction, series and films like Stargate popularized the idea even further, imagining stargates as portals that could instantly transport people to other corners of the universe, making them a staple of the creative imagination.
