When were great kilts invented?

I'm a fan of Stargate and was wondering why Camulus didn't wear a kilt? Were kilts not invented in the 3rd century BC (the period when the Goa'uld left earth)?

From what I understand The great kilt came about in the 16'th century A.D. I am not sure, but I believe it may have been developed from the Liene.

Finally somebody that aint a trekkie, lol. I'm gonna miss Stargate. Atlantis is good but just not the same.

jordan's pretty much got it. The kilt began its rise in the late 16th century. I expect Matt will chime in with a brief synopsis. Then again, I'm sure it's been mentioned elsewhere.

See:

Basically, the earliest documented evidence we have of the great kilt (feilidh-mor) being worn is from 1594.

(And we know that the Goa'uld didn't really occupy Earth, right?) :-)

hmm...actually, The great Kilt is a leftover from the Jedi Robes of old. After the Jedi purge, the few remaining Jedi decided that the plain robes of tradition were too recognizable, so they began weaving their robes in patterns (now called tartan) to escape discovery.

Eventually these last remaining jedi found Earth and settled in what is now known as Scotland, where they peacefully create fantastic scotch and hunt haggis by light sabre light.

Jedi-like abilities are still found in the decendants of these early settlers, with examples of great strength (caber toss), Constitution ( eating haggis) and mental power (how many answers do you know for most questions?). Above all of these, they still retain the ability to control the minds of those around them ( Just glance over your shoulder as you walk anywear in your kilt!)

That's the best explaination I've heard yet of the history of the kilt!
Now that I've been set straight, I will be sure to pass this along to all that will hear.

Does this mean I am the proof that the Sith survived too?

If only you knew the power of the dark side of the kilt...

hmm...I'll see what I can find...I think there is a holocron around here somewhere...

The "Dork Factor" is strong in this one!
