Ascension Device
Ancient technology bridging the gap between mortal life and divine existence.
In the Stargate fictional universe, an Ascension Device is a piece of Ancient technology designed to facilitate the elevation of a mortal consciousness to a higher plane of existence. While ascension is primarily a spiritual and evolutionary process achieved by the Ancients through their own power, specific technological interfaces or chambers were created to assist mortals in bridging the gap between physical reality and the realm of non-physical beings. These artifacts represent some of the most powerful and restricted knowledge left behind by the Alterans.
