The creators of the show saved it from being bogged under the mythical mishmash of the original series. The sappy romanticism of the '70s created a Frankenstein's monster of an uber culture. It incorporated everything from ancient Egyptian headdress helmets to classical/biblical naming practices, to say nothing of the Euro/Western-centrism that ignored any strong Asian effects. It laid down a shallow conflation of mysticism and pyramid builder wrongheadedness that was an insult to anthropology. They didn't eradicate it entirely for the new show, but at least they scraped off enough coats to make it tolerable.
