− | It is unknown exactly which race invented the technology as nothing of the original jumpgate builders has ever been found and all that can be determined by examining the gates themselves is that the aliens had been highly advanced, and extraordinary engineers. The first gates were built circa [[20th Century and earlier#4800 B.C.|4800 B.C.]] (seven thousand years before the [[Third Age]]), and had apparently spread across interstellar space as a flourishing civilization for some four to five thousand years hence. |

After that they seem to have completely vanished, leaving behind no trace of their civilization, other than the gates themselves. |
