00:00:02,085 --> 00:00:04,585
NARRATOR:
More than 5,000 years ago,
2
00:00:04,713 --> 00:00:08,433
Egypt gave rise to
the world�s first great empire,
3
00:00:08,550 --> 00:00:11,970
and in the 20th century,
a mysterious woman
4
00:00:12,054 --> 00:00:16,184
named Omm Sety helped bring
ancient Egypt back to life.
5
00:00:16,266 --> 00:00:19,096
LYNN PICKNETT:
Omm Sety was one of the most remarkable women
6
00:00:19,228 --> 00:00:22,438
of the 20th century--
possibly ever.
7
00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:25,614
She moved modern archaeology
along enormously.
8
00:00:25,734 --> 00:00:28,244
NARRATOR:
She claimed to be the reincarnation
9
00:00:28,362 --> 00:00:30,162
of a priestess.
10
00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:33,119
ANDREW COLLINS: Omm Sety
had an incredible insight
11
00:00:33,242 --> 00:00:37,662
into ancient Egypt in a way
which went beyond the norm.
12
00:00:37,746 --> 00:00:40,826
NARRATOR: And she
astonished archaeologists
13
00:00:40,916 --> 00:00:43,286
with her incredible knowledge.
14
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:44,878
KATHLEEN McGOWAN: They�re
fond of saying in Abydos
15
00:00:44,962 --> 00:00:47,592
that Omm Sety was never wrong.
16
00:00:47,714 --> 00:00:49,134
And she was not.
17
00:00:49,258 --> 00:00:52,048
NARRATOR:
But was Omm Sety being directed
18
00:00:52,135 --> 00:00:53,965
by some unseen force?
19
00:00:54,096 --> 00:00:58,926
Perhaps one
of otherworldly origin?
20
00:00:59,017 --> 00:01:02,687
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
She truly believed that she was bringing back
21
00:01:02,771 --> 00:01:05,271
the old age of the gods.
22
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:08,649
? ?
23
00:01:08,777 --> 00:01:13,157
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway in the universe.
24
00:01:13,282 --> 00:01:17,292
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
25
00:01:17,411 --> 00:01:20,371
It demands
we question everything
26
00:01:20,455 --> 00:01:22,575
we have ever been taught.
27
00:01:22,666 --> 00:01:24,996
The evidence is all around us.
28
00:01:25,127 --> 00:01:29,797
The future is
right before our eyes.
29
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:32,973
We are not alone.
30
00:01:33,051 --> 00:01:35,801
We have never been alone.

00:01:48,817 --> 00:01:52,397
NARRATOR:
Egypt�s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities
33
00:01:52,487 --> 00:01:54,907
stages "The Pharaohs�
Golden Parade,"
34
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:57,990
a glittering celebration
honoring
35
00:01:58,076 --> 00:01:59,986
the nation�s ancient rulers.
36
00:02:00,078 --> 00:02:03,708
The Pharaohs� Golden Parade
was a major spectacle.
37
00:02:03,832 --> 00:02:06,712
Mummies of ancient Egypt�s
greatest pharaohs,
38
00:02:06,835 --> 00:02:07,875
22 of them,
39
00:02:08,003 --> 00:02:09,923
paraded through the capital.
40
00:02:10,005 --> 00:02:11,425
All of Egypt is watching.
41
00:02:11,506 --> 00:02:12,416
The world�s watching,
and there�s just
42
00:02:12,507 --> 00:02:14,337
tremendous excitement.
43
00:02:14,426 --> 00:02:17,046
JONATHAN YOUNG:
The bodies were paraded
44
00:02:17,179 --> 00:02:20,009
through the majestic boulevards
of Cairo
45
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:22,890
to a new home, a new palace,
a new museum.
46
00:02:23,018 --> 00:02:26,518
Nothing like this had happened
since the days of Cleopatra,
47
00:02:26,647 --> 00:02:31,317
and the glory of ancient Egypt
was rediscovered by the world.
48
00:02:31,401 --> 00:02:34,031
NARRATOR:
The Pharaohs� Golden Parade
49
00:02:34,112 --> 00:02:37,622
was intended to revitalize
Egypt�s tourism industry.
50
00:02:37,699 --> 00:02:40,699
And the three-mile procession
from the old Egyptian Museum
51
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:45,327
in Tahrir Square
to the new National Museum
52
00:02:45,415 --> 00:02:48,875
seemed to bring a
long-forgotten age back to life.
53
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,800
In the Western world,
in the 21st century,
54
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:52,589
people are hungry for
55
00:02:52,714 --> 00:02:55,684
connecting with something
truly ancient and very powerful.
56
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:58,299
That�s ancient Egypt.
57
00:02:58,387 --> 00:03:01,057
And what we�re starting to see
is a tremendous resurgence
58
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:05,561
and interest in the Egyptian
mysteries and the gods.
59
00:03:05,686 --> 00:03:09,856
NARRATOR:
Considered by most historians to be the world�s
60
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:11,480
first great empire,
61
00:03:11,566 --> 00:03:15,146
ancient Egypt is of
enormous significance to
62
00:03:15,237 --> 00:03:17,107
the ancient astronaut theory.
63
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:20,909
It was a place
of colossal structures,
64
00:03:20,992 --> 00:03:25,502
technologies so advanced
that they continue to astonish,
65
00:03:25,580 --> 00:03:30,630
and a pantheon of gods said to
have come from the stars.
66
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:35,302
In ancient Egypt,
one of the origin stories says
67
00:03:35,424 --> 00:03:37,134
that a long time ago
68
00:03:37,259 --> 00:03:41,929
a pyramid-shaped stone
descended from the sky.
69
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:44,773
Out of which
the first creator gods
70
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:47,811
emerged and started
Egyptian civilization.
71
00:03:47,936 --> 00:03:52,186
In fact,
they referred to a golden age
72
00:03:52,274 --> 00:03:57,454
when the gods still mingled
with human beings.
73
00:03:57,529 --> 00:04:00,369
In ancient Egypt,
it�s chock-full
74
00:04:00,449 --> 00:04:04,449
of references of celestial
beings descending from the sky
75
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:06,788
and imparting knowledge
to our ancestors.
76
00:04:06,872 --> 00:04:09,002
? ?
77
00:04:09,124 --> 00:04:12,344
NARRATOR:
Egyptian civilization arose in North Africa
78
00:04:12,461 --> 00:04:14,711
around 3100 BC,
79
00:04:14,796 --> 00:04:18,466
and thrived for 3,000 years,
80
00:04:18,592 --> 00:04:22,852
before being conquered
by the Roman Empire.
81
00:04:22,971 --> 00:04:26,351
Over the centuries,
many of its monuments--
82
00:04:26,475 --> 00:04:29,065
celebrating the gods
and pharaohs--
83
00:04:29,144 --> 00:04:32,314
were literally overcome
by the sands of time.
84
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:36,319
But Egypt came roaring back
to the world�s attention
85
00:04:36,443 --> 00:04:40,033
in the 20th century,
thanks in large part
86
00:04:40,155 --> 00:04:43,665
to the contributions of one
of the most extraordinary
87
00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:46,664
and unlikely Egyptologists
who ever lived--
88
00:04:46,745 --> 00:04:51,335
Dorothy Eady,
more commonly known as Omm Sety.
89
00:04:51,416 --> 00:04:52,996
COLLINS:
Omm Sety had
90
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:57,376
an incredible insight
into ancient Egypt in a way
91
00:04:57,506 --> 00:04:59,416
which went beyond the norm.
92
00:04:59,508 --> 00:05:02,838
TSOUKALOS: She wrote books,
she wrote articles.
93
00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:04,679
She was one of the most
94
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:08,735
accomplished Egyptologists
the world has ever known.
95
00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:12,310
And she had no formal training.
96
00:05:13,146 --> 00:05:15,566
Personally,
I think Omm Sety was one of
97
00:05:15,690 --> 00:05:17,530
the most remarkable women
of the 20th century--
98
00:05:17,651 --> 00:05:19,531
possibly ever.
99
00:05:19,611 --> 00:05:24,701
NARRATOR:
Omm Sety astounded Egyptologists with her
100
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:26,995
ability to accurately
predict the location
101
00:05:27,077 --> 00:05:31,207
of lost ruins and artifacts--
seemingly out of the blue.
102
00:05:31,331 --> 00:05:36,091
Her incredible story includes
revelations from a past life,
103
00:05:36,211 --> 00:05:39,051
communicating with
ancient pharaohs and gods,
104
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:42,512
and ultimately,
recovering critical pieces
105
00:05:42,592 --> 00:05:46,012
of Egypt�s lost history.
106
00:05:46,096 --> 00:05:49,096
There are many who believe
the life of Omm Sety
107
00:05:49,224 --> 00:05:51,564
was guided by a higher power--
108
00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:55,405
especially when considering
it began with a miracle.
109
00:06:04,573 --> 00:06:07,703
Three-year-old Dorothy Eady
110
00:06:07,784 --> 00:06:09,794
is playing in her family home
111
00:06:09,911 --> 00:06:13,331
when she takes a terrible
fall down the stairs.
112
00:06:13,415 --> 00:06:15,295
When the doctor comes
to examine her,
113
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:17,997
she is completely nonresponsive,
114
00:06:18,086 --> 00:06:21,796
and he soon pronounces her dead.
115
00:06:21,923 --> 00:06:24,183
But when the doctor returns
to collect her body,
116
00:06:24,259 --> 00:06:26,549
he is shocked at what he sees.
117
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:27,966
McGOWAN:
When he comes back
118
00:06:28,096 --> 00:06:30,096
to prepare the body,
119
00:06:30,181 --> 00:06:32,061
little Dorothy is sitting up,
and playing,
120
00:06:32,142 --> 00:06:33,982
and eating candy.
121
00:06:34,102 --> 00:06:37,482
The doctor was certain that
little Dorothy had been dead,
122
00:06:37,606 --> 00:06:42,026
but here she was, and she was
awake, and she was great.
123
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:45,030
NARRATOR:
But while she suffered no lasting injuries from the fall,
124
00:06:45,113 --> 00:06:48,493
Dorothy Eady�s personality
had changed in a way
125
00:06:48,617 --> 00:06:51,537
that deeply disturbed
her parents.
126
00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:55,000
PICKNETT:
She was like a different girl.
127
00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:56,923
And she started talking about
128
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,040
going home, "I want to go home."
129
00:06:59,127 --> 00:07:00,377
And her parents,
of course, said,
130
00:07:00,462 --> 00:07:02,002
"But you are home, darling."
131
00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:03,800
You know, she said,
"No, I want to go home!
132
00:07:03,882 --> 00:07:05,512
Not here-- home!"
133
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:08,854
NARRATOR: The following year,
a family trip
134
00:07:08,970 --> 00:07:12,310
to the British Museum in London
gave her parents
135
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:14,182
more cause for concern.
136
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:19,019
Everything was going normally
until they got to the area
137
00:07:19,147 --> 00:07:21,147
of the Egyptian rooms.
138
00:07:21,232 --> 00:07:26,362
And this little girl
ran up to the statues
139
00:07:26,488 --> 00:07:29,698
and kissed the feet
140
00:07:29,824 --> 00:07:33,544
and was just
out of her mind with joy.
141
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,460
NARRATOR:
Not long after, Dorothy began having
142
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:42,462
recurring visions of a place
that would dominate her life
143
00:07:42,545 --> 00:07:46,045
for the next 60 years--
the Temple of Seti
144
00:07:46,174 --> 00:07:49,224
in the small
Egyptian town of Abydos.
145
00:07:49,344 --> 00:07:54,064
DEES:
Her father brings home an exploration magazine
146
00:07:54,182 --> 00:07:56,812
and it has photographs
of the ruins
147
00:07:56,893 --> 00:08:00,773
of the Temple of Seti in Abydos.
148
00:08:00,855 --> 00:08:04,935
And she sees it
all ruined with sand
149
00:08:05,026 --> 00:08:07,066
and the roof caved in,
150
00:08:07,195 --> 00:08:09,065
and she starts to cry.
151
00:08:09,197 --> 00:08:11,697
Because that�s her place
152
00:08:11,783 --> 00:08:15,243
and something terrible
has happened to it.
153
00:08:16,538 --> 00:08:19,248
Here�s this little girl saying,
"Not only did I live there,
154
00:08:19,374 --> 00:08:21,174
"but it looked
completely different
155
00:08:21,251 --> 00:08:23,001
when I lived there
thousands of years ago."
156
00:08:23,086 --> 00:08:26,456
NARRATOR:
Did Dorothy Eady simply have
157
00:08:26,548 --> 00:08:28,878
an extraordinary imagination?
158
00:08:29,009 --> 00:08:32,389
Or is it possible--
as many researchers suspect--
159
00:08:32,470 --> 00:08:34,810
that when she hit her head
falling down the stairs
160
00:08:34,889 --> 00:08:38,229
it awakened a memory
of a past life?
161
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:41,649
SPRAGUE:
There have actually been many documented cases
162
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:43,810
where someone who has suffered
163
00:08:43,898 --> 00:08:47,488
a brain injury or head trauma
suddenly has something unlocked
164
00:08:47,569 --> 00:08:49,069
within them and now they can
165
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:51,735
play an instrument
that they never learned
166
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:55,415
or speak a language that
they�d never spoken before,
167
00:08:55,493 --> 00:09:00,413
or have some sort of skill that
seemingly came out of nowhere.
168
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:02,958
It is possible that
because of the fall
169
00:09:03,084 --> 00:09:06,464
that Dorothy endured
that this is what happened.
170
00:09:06,588 --> 00:09:11,128
She had something unlocked
in her brain and all of a sudden
171
00:09:11,259 --> 00:09:15,139
she can actually tap into
a past life experience.
172
00:09:15,263 --> 00:09:18,893
NARRATOR:
Reincarnation is defined as the rebirth of a soul
173
00:09:18,975 --> 00:09:22,475
into a new body,
and from an early age,
174
00:09:22,604 --> 00:09:26,734
Dorothy Eady sensed she had
lived a past life in Abydos.
175
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:31,026
While many in the West view
reincarnation with skepticism,
176
00:09:31,112 --> 00:09:34,122
numerous cultures,
both past and present,
177
00:09:34,199 --> 00:09:37,289
consider it an integral
part of their belief system--
178
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:41,160
and ancient Egypt
was no exception.
179
00:09:41,289 --> 00:09:45,209
In ancient Egyptian religion
there was a great emphasis
180
00:09:45,293 --> 00:09:47,003
on the next life, the afterlife.
181
00:09:47,128 --> 00:09:50,668
The ancient Egyptians did
believe in reincarnation,
182
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:53,879
that the soul
appeared many times.
183
00:09:56,221 --> 00:09:58,971
NARRATOR: Omm Sety was famous
for accessing memories
184
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:02,309
from a past life,
but she herself claimed
185
00:10:02,393 --> 00:10:05,233
that much of her knowledge
was given to her by figures
186
00:10:05,313 --> 00:10:07,613
she encountered in the night.
187
00:10:07,690 --> 00:10:11,030
Figures that came to her
from the distant past--
188
00:10:11,152 --> 00:10:13,822
and some that came
from the stars.
189
00:10:23,915 --> 00:10:27,675
NARRATOR:
At the British Museum, ten-year-old Dorothy Eady
190
00:10:27,752 --> 00:10:29,672
is exploring the
Egyptian galleries
191
00:10:29,754 --> 00:10:32,844
when she catches the eye of one
of the world�s most prominent
192
00:10:32,924 --> 00:10:36,594
Egyptologists--
Sir Ernest Wallis Budge.
193
00:10:36,678 --> 00:10:38,178
TSOUKALOS:
Wallace Budge
194
00:10:38,263 --> 00:10:40,393
took her under his wing.
195
00:10:40,515 --> 00:10:43,185
And at the time, he was it, man.
196
00:10:43,268 --> 00:10:45,018
You couldn�t get any higher.
197
00:10:45,103 --> 00:10:46,693
And, all of a sudden, this guy
198
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:49,233
is interested in a ten-year-old?
199
00:10:49,357 --> 00:10:51,147
Well, there had to
be something there
200
00:10:51,234 --> 00:10:53,364
that was
absolutely extraordinary.
201
00:10:53,444 --> 00:10:57,374
PICKNETT:
This tiny child just knew everything.
202
00:10:57,448 --> 00:10:58,988
She took to Egyptian
hieroglyphics
203
00:10:59,075 --> 00:11:00,695
very readily.
204
00:11:00,785 --> 00:11:02,655
Um, and sort of almost
paranormally swiftly.
205
00:11:02,745 --> 00:11:07,035
NARRATOR:
With over 1,000 distinct characters,
206
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:11,425
hieroglyphic writing takes
modern scholars years to master.
207
00:11:11,546 --> 00:11:15,876
Did Dorothy Eady simply have
an unusual aptitude
208
00:11:15,967 --> 00:11:18,887
for mastering a
complicated writing system?
209
00:11:18,970 --> 00:11:21,560
Or is there another explanation?
210
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:27,809
Years later, Dorothy would
answer that question herself.
211
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:35,896
At the age of 27,
Dorothy Eady takes a job
212
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:39,067
with a political journal
advocating for
213
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:42,409
greater Egyptian independence
from Great Britain.
214
00:11:42,493 --> 00:11:44,043
The British had had
215
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,580
control over Egypt
for quite a long time.
216
00:11:46,664 --> 00:11:49,464
And there was a
semi-independence,
217
00:11:49,584 --> 00:11:51,754
but-but still not independence.
218
00:11:51,836 --> 00:11:54,756
So, Dorothy was
headlong into that.
219
00:11:54,839 --> 00:12:00,889
RAMY ROMANY:
At that time, there was a crazy Egyptian Egyptomania
220
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:02,930
presence around the world.
221
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:04,934
Dorothy was ahead of them.
222
00:12:05,016 --> 00:12:06,766
She was already
obsessed with Egypt.
223
00:12:06,851 --> 00:12:10,441
She started working
at an Egyptian
224
00:12:10,521 --> 00:12:14,361
PR relations magazine in London.
225
00:12:14,442 --> 00:12:17,112
And that�s when she met
Eman Abdel Meguid.
226
00:12:17,195 --> 00:12:19,285
He was a student at the time.
227
00:12:19,364 --> 00:12:25,954
DEES:
Eman was a young Egyptian man studying to be a teacher.
228
00:12:26,037 --> 00:12:29,367
And Eman fell head
over heels in love with this
229
00:12:29,457 --> 00:12:34,297
energetic, passionate woman.
230
00:12:36,047 --> 00:12:38,917
And when he had to
go back to Egypt,
231
00:12:39,008 --> 00:12:43,348
he asked her to marry him--
and she did.
232
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:45,221
(ship horn blowing)
233
00:12:45,306 --> 00:12:47,386
She just went to Cairo.
234
00:12:47,475 --> 00:12:50,095
? ?
235
00:12:50,186 --> 00:12:53,146
NARRATOR:
Dorothy and Eman married and moved in with
236
00:12:53,231 --> 00:12:55,401
Eman�s parents in Cairo.
237
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:57,823
Not long after,
she gave birth to a baby boy
238
00:12:57,902 --> 00:12:59,572
and named him Sety,
239
00:12:59,654 --> 00:13:04,534
after the great pharaoh of
the 19th Dynasty, Seti I.
240
00:13:04,659 --> 00:13:08,289
In accordance with
Egyptian tradition,
241
00:13:08,371 --> 00:13:11,331
Dorothy changes her name
to reflect her status
242
00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:12,997
as an Egyptian mother.
243
00:13:13,126 --> 00:13:14,836
DEES:
Whoever your
244
00:13:14,961 --> 00:13:19,091
firstborn child is you are
the mother of that child.
245
00:13:19,173 --> 00:13:21,883
You are Omm, the mother,
and then the child�s name.
246
00:13:23,678 --> 00:13:25,258
NARRATOR:
Dorothy Eady is now Omm Sety,
247
00:13:25,346 --> 00:13:27,676
and she spends
every moment she can
248
00:13:27,765 --> 00:13:31,475
exploring the archeological
wonders of ancient Egypt.
249
00:13:31,561 --> 00:13:33,271
? ?
250
00:13:33,354 --> 00:13:34,814
She went all over.
251
00:13:34,897 --> 00:13:36,517
She studied everywhere.
252
00:13:36,607 --> 00:13:40,567
And she specifically went to
Giza Plateau a lot.
253
00:13:40,695 --> 00:13:44,625
She is obsessed by
the Pyramid of Giza.
254
00:13:44,699 --> 00:13:49,119
And she ended up meeting
Selim Hassan.
255
00:13:49,203 --> 00:13:51,623
Selim is a huge person.
256
00:13:51,706 --> 00:13:54,416
He�s the godfather
of Egyptology.
257
00:13:54,542 --> 00:13:58,462
He liked her enthusiasm
about archaeology.
258
00:13:58,546 --> 00:14:01,216
PICKNETT: He was terribly
impressed by her.
259
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:04,391
I mean, she was no
sort of mad flake.
260
00:14:04,469 --> 00:14:05,719
She knew stuff.
261
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:07,175
She was very handy.
262
00:14:07,263 --> 00:14:09,723
And also,
she offered her services
263
00:14:09,807 --> 00:14:12,057
as a proofreader
of his writings,
264
00:14:12,143 --> 00:14:14,733
and as a drafts woman
because she was very good
265
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:17,944
at drawing his finds.
266
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,610
NARRATOR:
Omm Sety became a pivotal contributor to Hassan�s work,
267
00:14:22,737 --> 00:14:26,567
sketching the illustrations of
his findings and helping to edit
268
00:14:26,657 --> 00:14:28,617
his towering opus,
269
00:14:28,743 --> 00:14:31,623
the ten-volume
Excavations at Giza.
270
00:14:31,746 --> 00:14:35,536
To this day,
many Egyptologists consider it
271
00:14:35,625 --> 00:14:38,925
to be the most important study
of the Giza Plateau,
272
00:14:39,003 --> 00:14:42,923
which is the home of the
Great Pyramids and the Sphinx.
273
00:14:43,007 --> 00:14:46,927
Ultimately, Omm Sety
became so consumed with studying
274
00:14:47,011 --> 00:14:51,141
ancient Egypt that it left her
no room for her marriage.
275
00:14:51,265 --> 00:14:54,475
DEES:
She sometimes would just spend the night out
276
00:14:54,602 --> 00:14:56,602
in one of the tombs
277
00:14:56,687 --> 00:14:59,107
and she would bring her baby.
278
00:14:59,190 --> 00:15:02,570
And of course,
her husband realized that
279
00:15:02,652 --> 00:15:05,612
this just was a marriage
that could not work
280
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:09,198
and he didn�t want his child
brought up in that environment.
281
00:15:09,283 --> 00:15:11,953
He asked for a divorce.
He got custody.
282
00:15:12,036 --> 00:15:16,536
NARRATOR:
Around this same time, in the early 1930s,
283
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:20,594
Omm Sety began to have
mysterious encounters at night,
284
00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:23,300
awakening in what she described
as a trance-like state
285
00:15:23,381 --> 00:15:27,471
to find a figure
in ancient Egyptian garb
286
00:15:27,552 --> 00:15:30,802
standing before her.
287
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:34,020
This entity refers to
himself as Hor-Ra,
288
00:15:34,142 --> 00:15:37,102
and he begins to
give her information,
289
00:15:37,186 --> 00:15:38,646
and he tells her
to write it down.
290
00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:42,441
She was writing it
in a type of cursive,
291
00:15:42,525 --> 00:15:46,825
hieroglyphic script
known as demotic writing,
292
00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:51,834
but in her daily living life,
she could not write demotic.
293
00:15:51,909 --> 00:15:55,449
And this went on for
almost a year until she had
294
00:15:55,538 --> 00:16:00,418
70-plus pages of information
in this demotic script.
295
00:16:00,501 --> 00:16:02,421
? ?
296
00:16:02,503 --> 00:16:04,173
It wasn�t until she sat down
297
00:16:04,297 --> 00:16:06,167
with a number of
demotic dictionaries
298
00:16:06,299 --> 00:16:09,679
and went through
the manuscript page-by-page
299
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,680
and began to actually
translate it,
300
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:13,184
that she ultimately
301
00:16:13,264 --> 00:16:15,814
came up with the story
that he was telling her.
302
00:16:15,892 --> 00:16:19,522
NARRATOR: According to
Omm Sety�s writings,
303
00:16:19,604 --> 00:16:22,864
Hor-Ra had related
the story of Omm Sety�s own
304
00:16:22,940 --> 00:16:24,690
previous life in ancient Egypt
305
00:16:24,775 --> 00:16:30,695
as a girl named Bentreshyt,
born in Abydos in 1300 BC.
306
00:16:30,781 --> 00:16:34,871
Eventually, Bentreshyt became
a priestess of the goddess Isis,
307
00:16:34,952 --> 00:16:40,502
and got involved in a secret
affair with the Pharaoh Seti I.
308
00:16:40,583 --> 00:16:44,213
But who was this mysterious
messenger called Hor-Ra?
309
00:16:44,295 --> 00:16:47,465
And what was his reason
for telling Omm Sety
310
00:16:47,548 --> 00:16:49,468
the story of her past life?
311
00:16:50,718 --> 00:16:55,558
What happened to Omm Sety
is actually extremely similar
312
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,890
to everything
we�ve learned about
313
00:16:57,975 --> 00:17:01,725
close encounters with
extraterrestrial beings.
314
00:17:01,812 --> 00:17:04,732
Some sort of message is
imparted to a human being
315
00:17:04,815 --> 00:17:08,485
and then it�s up to them
how they interpret it
316
00:17:08,569 --> 00:17:11,029
and use that information.
317
00:17:11,113 --> 00:17:15,583
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that Hor-Ra was an actual visitor
318
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:19,621
from another time--
or another world?
319
00:17:19,747 --> 00:17:22,997
Soon after Omm Sety
learned about her past life
320
00:17:23,084 --> 00:17:24,424
in ancient Abydos,
321
00:17:24,544 --> 00:17:26,924
she had another
nocturnal visitation
322
00:17:27,004 --> 00:17:31,264
and was transported
back in time to her home,
323
00:17:31,342 --> 00:17:34,972
and to her former lover,
Pharaoh Seti I.
324
00:17:35,096 --> 00:17:39,266
MASTERS:
Omm Sety describes going to Abydos.
325
00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:42,440
And she also claims to have
visited not just that place,
326
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,270
but the time that she claims
327
00:17:44,355 --> 00:17:46,275
to have hailed from in 1300 BC.
328
00:17:46,357 --> 00:17:47,937
Over 3,000 years ago.
329
00:17:48,025 --> 00:17:51,895
It was very important
because it helped her
330
00:17:51,988 --> 00:17:54,448
to provide information
to modern-day archaeologists
331
00:17:54,532 --> 00:17:56,122
who are looking for things.
332
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,120
She knew they existed
before they were found.
333
00:17:58,244 --> 00:18:02,624
HENRY:
The way Dorothy Eady describes her interaction
334
00:18:02,748 --> 00:18:05,628
sounds strikingly similar
to modern-era
335
00:18:05,710 --> 00:18:07,380
alien abduction phenomenon.
336
00:18:07,461 --> 00:18:10,961
She describes this
amorphous shimmering being
337
00:18:11,048 --> 00:18:13,468
suddenly appearing before her
338
00:18:13,551 --> 00:18:14,801
in a physical form
339
00:18:14,885 --> 00:18:17,465
and then takes her
340
00:18:17,555 --> 00:18:19,645
to an otherworldly realm
341
00:18:19,724 --> 00:18:22,144
where she�s given
specific knowledge
342
00:18:22,226 --> 00:18:24,646
and then is returned
to her room.
343
00:18:24,729 --> 00:18:28,109
You have to wonder whether
she was perhaps actually taken
344
00:18:28,190 --> 00:18:30,230
physically back in time
345
00:18:30,318 --> 00:18:33,568
then brought back
to the present.
346
00:18:33,654 --> 00:18:36,534
So, is it possible that
the strange entities
347
00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:39,157
that were coming to her
were extraterrestrials?
348
00:18:39,243 --> 00:18:43,833
NARRATOR:
In Cairo, Omm Sety impressed Egyptologists
349
00:18:43,914 --> 00:18:46,174
with her understanding
of hieroglyphs
350
00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:49,172
and knowledge
of the ancient world.
351
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:50,843
But the astounding revelations
352
00:18:50,921 --> 00:18:52,511
for which she would
become famous
353
00:18:52,590 --> 00:18:55,630
had to do with the place
she claimed to be
354
00:18:55,718 --> 00:19:00,348
her home in a past life,
the sacred city of Abydos.
355
00:19:00,431 --> 00:19:03,141
And when she finally
returned there,
356
00:19:03,225 --> 00:19:05,515
her insights
would prove critical
357
00:19:05,603 --> 00:19:07,693
to reconstructing a temple that,
358
00:19:07,772 --> 00:19:09,312
according to the
ancient Egyptians,
359
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:14,948
provided a direct connection
to the gods.
360
00:19:22,036 --> 00:19:24,576
NARRATOR:
After 20 years in Cairo,
361
00:19:24,705 --> 00:19:27,325
Omm Sety feels
an irresistible urge
362
00:19:27,416 --> 00:19:31,496
to move to Abydos-- the place
she dreamt of as a child,
363
00:19:31,587 --> 00:19:35,507
and which she believed
was her home in a former life.
364
00:19:35,591 --> 00:19:40,681
300 miles south of Cairo,
this 5,000-year-old town
365
00:19:40,763 --> 00:19:44,223
was once the chief pilgrimage
center of ancient Egypt.
366
00:19:44,308 --> 00:19:48,848
People came to worship Osiris,
the god of the underworld,
367
00:19:48,938 --> 00:19:52,568
who brought knowledge
to the people of the Nile.
368
00:19:52,650 --> 00:19:54,190
YOUNG:
The faithful,
369
00:19:54,276 --> 00:19:57,856
in a strong tradition may
have a pilgrimage site.
370
00:19:57,947 --> 00:20:00,697
Abydos was that
for the ancient Egyptians
371
00:20:00,783 --> 00:20:03,623
as Varanasi is for
the Hindu in India,
372
00:20:03,744 --> 00:20:06,584
Jerusalem for the Jews,
Mecca for Islam.
373
00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:09,214
These places change you.
374
00:20:09,291 --> 00:20:12,791
NARRATOR:
According to Egypt�s Pyramid Texts,
375
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,220
the gods Osiris and Isis
came to Earth
376
00:20:16,298 --> 00:20:18,428
from their home in the stars
of Orion�s Belt.
377
00:20:18,509 --> 00:20:22,099
Is it more than mere coincidence
378
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:24,771
that Omm Sety was drawn
to Abydos--
379
00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:28,060
the place where Egypt�s most
important gods were worshipped?
380
00:20:28,144 --> 00:20:31,944
Could it be that she was led to
this location because it served
381
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:35,904
an important purpose
for otherworldly visitors?
382
00:20:35,985 --> 00:20:38,615
CHILDRESS:
When you look back at ancient Egyptian history
383
00:20:38,696 --> 00:20:43,736
and the various stories
that the gods came down
384
00:20:43,826 --> 00:20:46,076
to educate the Egyptians
385
00:20:46,162 --> 00:20:51,292
who have power and very
high-tech means to do things,
386
00:20:51,375 --> 00:20:55,085
including building the pyramids
and raising obelisks,
387
00:20:55,171 --> 00:20:59,091
moving stones that weigh
hundreds of tons.
388
00:20:59,175 --> 00:21:03,265
It would seem like
they�re extraterrestrials.
389
00:21:03,345 --> 00:21:06,265
And so, that Omm Sety was
living in Abydos is significant.
390
00:21:06,348 --> 00:21:10,808
NARRATOR:
With decades of experience assisting Egyptologists
391
00:21:10,936 --> 00:21:13,766
in Cairo, 47-year-old Omm Sety
392
00:21:13,856 --> 00:21:16,396
seeks out Edouard Ghazouli,
393
00:21:16,484 --> 00:21:19,404
the man in charge of
excavating the ruins
394
00:21:19,487 --> 00:21:22,987
of the Temple of Seti I,
which is in shambles.
395
00:21:23,115 --> 00:21:26,285
Having heard of
Omm Sety�s uncanny knowledge,
396
00:21:26,368 --> 00:21:29,958
Ghazouli devises a test,
397
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:32,619
asking her to find specific
locations and carvings within
398
00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:36,628
the temple that he and his
team have just discovered.
399
00:21:36,712 --> 00:21:38,462
-Long time, no see!
-Hello, Omm Sety.
400
00:21:38,547 --> 00:21:40,337
-Don�t get up.
-How are you?
401
00:21:40,424 --> 00:21:43,344
NARRATOR: Omm Sety herself
described this test
402
00:21:43,427 --> 00:21:46,007
in a 1981 BBC documentary
403
00:21:46,096 --> 00:21:49,516
called Omm Seti and Her Egypt.
404
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,810
They said that
they would test me.
405
00:21:52,895 --> 00:21:55,485
The first time I went in,
they told me where to go.
406
00:21:55,564 --> 00:21:58,614
It was the chapel of Amun.
407
00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:01,822
So, I went right in,
and they told me to go
408
00:22:01,904 --> 00:22:05,664
in front of the scene of
the sacred boats, which I did.
409
00:22:05,741 --> 00:22:06,991
Called out.
410
00:22:07,076 --> 00:22:08,236
They came, they found me
411
00:22:08,369 --> 00:22:09,999
where I was supposed to be.
412
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:12,119
They said, "Ah,
that�s just chance."
413
00:22:12,206 --> 00:22:14,326
I said, "Well, try again."
414
00:22:14,416 --> 00:22:15,706
Well, they tried several times,
415
00:22:15,835 --> 00:22:18,675
and each time,
I was in the right place.
416
00:22:18,754 --> 00:22:20,924
It was as if I walked in...
417
00:22:21,048 --> 00:22:26,508
into a place where I had lived
before and knew all about it.
418
00:22:27,388 --> 00:22:29,308
INTERVIEWER:
Did you recognize anybody
419
00:22:29,390 --> 00:22:30,810
from the reliefs?
420
00:22:30,891 --> 00:22:32,521
SETY:
Oh, Seti!
421
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:35,731
The King Seti.
I had known him.
422
00:22:36,897 --> 00:22:40,027
NARRATOR: The archaeologists
on-site were astounded
423
00:22:40,109 --> 00:22:42,399
by Omm Sety�s
unexplainable knowledge.
424
00:22:42,528 --> 00:22:46,318
But what left them
truly stunned was her revelation
425
00:22:46,407 --> 00:22:49,697
of a temple garden
that no one knew existed.
426
00:22:49,785 --> 00:22:51,535
CHILDRESS:
She asked them,
427
00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:54,580
where is this garden that she
was very familiar with?
428
00:22:54,665 --> 00:22:58,965
And the archeologists said,
"Well, there�s no garden here."
429
00:22:59,086 --> 00:23:01,376
TSOUKALOS: And she said,
"It�s over there, just go dig."
430
00:23:01,463 --> 00:23:03,133
And the head excavator says,
431
00:23:03,257 --> 00:23:05,377
"We know for a fact there�s
no garden over there."
432
00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:09,427
And she says, "Yes, yes,
there is, please just do it."
433
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:13,853
And they started digging,
and they found the garden.
434
00:23:13,934 --> 00:23:15,524
So, it�s stuff like that--
435
00:23:15,603 --> 00:23:17,983
just speaking right now,
I have goose bumps,
436
00:23:18,105 --> 00:23:20,145
because stuff like that
shouldn�t happen.
437
00:23:22,192 --> 00:23:25,322
NARRATOR:
Omm Sety remained at the temple for the rest of her life,
438
00:23:25,446 --> 00:23:28,236
helping to uncover
artifacts known to her
439
00:23:28,324 --> 00:23:30,374
not only from
her past life memories,
440
00:23:30,451 --> 00:23:33,911
but also from
the visitors she continued
441
00:23:33,996 --> 00:23:35,656
to encounter in her dreams.
442
00:23:35,789 --> 00:23:38,289
While these
dream-state encounters
443
00:23:38,375 --> 00:23:41,415
were regarded with skepticism
in the 20th century,
444
00:23:41,503 --> 00:23:44,213
in ancient Egypt,
they were not uncommon.
445
00:23:44,298 --> 00:23:46,588
One of the key
aspects of Omm Sety�s story
446
00:23:46,675 --> 00:23:50,005
is the dream conduit
that she opened up
447
00:23:50,137 --> 00:23:52,217
to receive knowledge
and also to connect with
448
00:23:52,306 --> 00:23:53,806
these otherworldly beings.
449
00:23:53,891 --> 00:23:56,061
This is something
that�s very important
450
00:23:56,143 --> 00:23:57,313
to the ancient Egyptians.
451
00:23:58,437 --> 00:24:01,607
NARRATOR:
In the ancient world, there was a religious practice
452
00:24:01,690 --> 00:24:04,150
often referred to as
"incubation,"
453
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:07,276
which involved
sleeping in a sacred area
454
00:24:07,363 --> 00:24:09,033
with the intention of
experiencing
455
00:24:09,156 --> 00:24:10,986
a divinely inspired dream.
456
00:24:11,116 --> 00:24:15,536
Stories of sleep incubation can
be found in the Hebrew Bible,
457
00:24:15,663 --> 00:24:18,753
in ancient Greece,
and perhaps most commonly
458
00:24:18,832 --> 00:24:20,632
in ancient Egypt.
459
00:24:20,709 --> 00:24:23,339
HENRY:
There�s story after story of people coming,
460
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:25,092
for example, to Saqqara,
461
00:24:25,172 --> 00:24:27,672
which was a
dream incubation center.
462
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,430
People would come to Saqqara,
go into a dream,
463
00:24:30,511 --> 00:24:32,681
and have an experience
with the god Ptah
464
00:24:32,763 --> 00:24:34,763
or a healing entity,
and be cured of
465
00:24:34,848 --> 00:24:36,678
whatever that malady was.
466
00:24:37,726 --> 00:24:40,646
PICKNETT:
Going back to Pharaoh Seti the first,
467
00:24:40,729 --> 00:24:42,939
he depended upon dreams.
468
00:24:43,023 --> 00:24:46,943
He had a dream that
informed him where to dig
469
00:24:47,027 --> 00:24:50,777
to find the-- what was
already ancient Osirion.
470
00:24:51,782 --> 00:24:55,662
So, it was not unknown
for the ancient Egyptians,
471
00:24:55,744 --> 00:24:58,834
to use dreams
in a very practical way.
472
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,210
NARRATOR:
According to Omm Sety,
473
00:25:02,292 --> 00:25:05,172
after she moved to Abydos,
Pharaoh Seti--
474
00:25:05,254 --> 00:25:07,134
who had been visiting her
in the night--
475
00:25:07,214 --> 00:25:10,054
began to appear to her
even when she was not asleep
476
00:25:10,134 --> 00:25:13,224
or in a meditative state.
477
00:25:13,345 --> 00:25:16,425
CHILDRESS:
People would allegedly see
478
00:25:16,557 --> 00:25:18,347
him in her room
479
00:25:18,434 --> 00:25:20,854
as a physical person.
480
00:25:20,936 --> 00:25:22,226
So, how could this be?
481
00:25:22,312 --> 00:25:25,572
Is he an extraterrestrial
482
00:25:25,649 --> 00:25:27,779
who is able to travel
through different dimensions
483
00:25:27,901 --> 00:25:29,951
and to different times?
484
00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:33,320
NARRATOR:
If the figure that appeared to Omm Sety
485
00:25:33,407 --> 00:25:36,577
as the Pharaoh Seti
was an extraterrestrial,
486
00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:41,460
as ancient astronaut theorists
suggest, what was his agenda?
487
00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:46,208
Perhaps further clues can
be found by taking a closer look
488
00:25:46,295 --> 00:25:49,425
at the life of
this mysterious pharaoh.
489
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,520
NARRATOR:
Thebes, Egypt. 1290 BC.
490
00:26:01,393 --> 00:26:05,193
The elderly
King Rameses I passes away
491
00:26:05,272 --> 00:26:07,772
after a reign of just 16 months,
492
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:12,490
and his son Seti is announced
as the new pharaoh.
493
00:26:12,613 --> 00:26:14,663
Egypt is in a period of chaos,
494
00:26:14,782 --> 00:26:17,282
and Pharaoh Seti
believes the only way
495
00:26:17,409 --> 00:26:21,659
to save it is to restore
the power of the old gods.
496
00:26:21,789 --> 00:26:24,249
Pharaoh Seti is one of
the most important characters
497
00:26:24,333 --> 00:26:25,713
in Egyptian history.
498
00:26:25,793 --> 00:26:29,593
And one of Seti�s
most important objectives
499
00:26:29,671 --> 00:26:32,631
as pharaoh was to
bring back the old gods,
500
00:26:32,716 --> 00:26:35,966
to bring back
the power of the old gods,
501
00:26:36,053 --> 00:26:39,473
the understanding of
the importance of Osiris.
502
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:41,638
One of the things
that he does as part of
503
00:26:41,767 --> 00:26:43,887
that restoration of
the old ways
504
00:26:43,977 --> 00:26:47,517
to the multiple gods
is go to Abydos,
505
00:26:47,648 --> 00:26:51,778
builds the temple there with
lots of different side temples
506
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:54,950
that are there to worship these
different gods and goddesses.
507
00:26:55,030 --> 00:26:58,280
NARRATOR:
In Abydos, Seti built one of the most
508
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,327
magnificent temples
in all of Egypt,
509
00:27:00,452 --> 00:27:05,082
containing seven chapels
dedicated to different gods.
510
00:27:06,875 --> 00:27:12,255
But when Omm Sety arrived in
Abydos in 1951, the great temple
511
00:27:12,339 --> 00:27:15,839
she claimed to have known in
her past life was all but gone.
512
00:27:18,011 --> 00:27:21,141
HENRY:
There was around 2,500 pieces of the temple
513
00:27:21,223 --> 00:27:23,223
scattered everywhere,
514
00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:25,230
and Ghazouli and others
had no idea
515
00:27:25,352 --> 00:27:27,522
how to fit these pieces
back together.
516
00:27:27,646 --> 00:27:31,356
But Omm Sety, maintaining that
she had this past life memory,
517
00:27:31,441 --> 00:27:33,821
could tell them, "Oh,
this piece would go here.
518
00:27:33,902 --> 00:27:37,322
This piece would go there. I
remember it looking like this."
519
00:27:40,159 --> 00:27:42,659
TSOUKALOS:
This was an incredibly daunting task.
520
00:27:42,744 --> 00:27:44,164
But she started each day
521
00:27:44,246 --> 00:27:47,746
with unbridled passion
and enthusiasm.
522
00:27:47,875 --> 00:27:50,385
And Abydos was reconstructed,
523
00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:55,172
according to
Omm Sety�s instructions.
524
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:58,760
McGOWAN:
She solves the amazing jigsaw puzzle,
525
00:27:58,886 --> 00:28:01,256
putting together
these 2,500 pieces
526
00:28:01,388 --> 00:28:04,518
and restoring the Temple of
Abydos in two and a half years,
527
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,600
which is absolutely impossible
528
00:28:06,727 --> 00:28:09,397
without her extraordinary
understanding of the temple.
529
00:28:09,521 --> 00:28:11,731
It would have taken
20 years for anybody else
530
00:28:11,857 --> 00:28:13,897
to do the work that she did
in two and a half years.
531
00:28:15,402 --> 00:28:19,742
NARRATOR:
According to Omm Sety, restoring the temple at Abydos
532
00:28:19,865 --> 00:28:23,285
was about much more than
just resurrecting the past.
533
00:28:24,203 --> 00:28:27,123
To her closest friends,
she confided that
534
00:28:27,247 --> 00:28:32,287
this ancient structure served
an extraordinary purpose.
535
00:28:32,419 --> 00:28:34,299
Omm Sety would actually
state that
536
00:28:34,421 --> 00:28:38,631
the Temple of Abydos served as
a star gate of sorts,
537
00:28:38,759 --> 00:28:40,969
a place where you were able to
538
00:28:41,094 --> 00:28:43,854
jump in and out of
time and space.
539
00:28:45,224 --> 00:28:48,144
NARRATOR:
A star gate?
540
00:28:48,268 --> 00:28:51,808
Could the Temple of Abydos
have acted as a portal
541
00:28:51,939 --> 00:28:53,939
to other points in the universe?
542
00:28:54,066 --> 00:28:57,236
According to
ancient astronaut theorists,
543
00:28:57,319 --> 00:29:01,659
a feature inside the temple
supports this sensational claim.
544
00:29:01,782 --> 00:29:06,292
They point to a bell-shaped
object painted on a chapel wall
545
00:29:06,370 --> 00:29:09,330
that some refer to as
the Osiris Device.
546
00:29:09,456 --> 00:29:11,956
HENRY:
When we look at this symbol through modern eyes,
547
00:29:12,042 --> 00:29:13,632
it�s highly technological.
548
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:15,840
To the eyes of
a physicist or an engineer,
549
00:29:15,963 --> 00:29:18,053
it looks like a Tesla coil.
550
00:29:18,131 --> 00:29:20,181
And you wonder,
what could an image
551
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:21,970
that resembles a Tesla coil
552
00:29:22,094 --> 00:29:26,224
be doing on the walls of
a temple that�s 3,500 years old?
553
00:29:26,306 --> 00:29:31,056
NARRATOR:
The Tesla coil was designed in the late 1800s
554
00:29:31,144 --> 00:29:32,734
by inventor Nikola Tesla
555
00:29:32,813 --> 00:29:36,073
as a way to wirelessly
transmit electricity.
556
00:29:36,149 --> 00:29:40,319
But ancient astronaut theorists
suggest there is a far more
557
00:29:40,404 --> 00:29:44,824
advanced technology depicted on
the opposite wall of the chapel.
558
00:29:45,993 --> 00:29:49,203
HENRY:
On the opposite wall, we see the same device,
559
00:29:49,329 --> 00:29:51,999
but now it�s attached to
what is called
560
00:29:52,082 --> 00:29:55,882
the Neshmet Barge of Osiris,
his resurrection barge.
561
00:29:56,003 --> 00:29:59,713
And what�s so amazing about
this barge is that its shape
562
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,050
is virtually identical
to the way modern science
563
00:30:03,176 --> 00:30:07,886
portrays a wormhole or
an Einstein-Rosen bridge.
564
00:30:08,015 --> 00:30:10,855
McGOWAN:
The power of Abydos is something
565
00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:14,186
that we�re still only
beginning to understand.
566
00:30:14,271 --> 00:30:17,651
It�s such a profoundly
mysterious place.
567
00:30:18,984 --> 00:30:20,364
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that
568
00:30:20,485 --> 00:30:24,235
by reconstructing
the temple at Abydos,
569
00:30:24,364 --> 00:30:26,744
Omm Sety was restoring
an ancient star gate?
570
00:30:26,867 --> 00:30:29,327
And if so,
was she being directed
571
00:30:29,411 --> 00:30:34,291
by otherworldly beings that
have the power to activate it?
572
00:30:36,168 --> 00:30:39,918
By the 1970s,
Omm Sety had become famous
573
00:30:40,047 --> 00:30:41,917
beyond the world of Egyptology.
574
00:30:42,049 --> 00:30:45,759
She was toasted by
luminaries like Carl Sagan
575
00:30:45,886 --> 00:30:48,716
and became the subject of
several books and documentaries.
576
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:51,427
SETY:
Om Seti means
577
00:30:51,558 --> 00:30:54,888
"mother of Seti," because
I have a son named Seti,
578
00:30:54,978 --> 00:30:56,768
hoping he�d turn out
like the king.
579
00:30:56,897 --> 00:30:58,227
Of course, he didn�t.
580
00:30:59,566 --> 00:31:02,276
NARRATOR:
In a 1981 BBC documentary,
581
00:31:02,402 --> 00:31:07,242
76-year-old Omm Sety
visits the temple in Abydos
582
00:31:07,366 --> 00:31:10,156
with British Egyptologist
Dr. Rosalie David.
583
00:31:11,411 --> 00:31:14,251
Due to a hip injury,
she hasn�t been
584
00:31:14,331 --> 00:31:16,711
inside the temple
in almost a year.
585
00:31:18,043 --> 00:31:19,793
How do you feel,
now you�ve arrived back
586
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,710
-after so many months?
-Oh, I feel marvelous!
587
00:31:21,797 --> 00:31:24,587
What are your feelings about it?
588
00:31:26,718 --> 00:31:28,798
Indescribable.
589
00:31:29,805 --> 00:31:32,775
NARRATOR:
The temple, which she was integral in rebuilding,
590
00:31:32,891 --> 00:31:36,641
honors not just one
Egyptian god, but seven--
591
00:31:36,770 --> 00:31:40,980
and Omm Sety had
an incredible theory as to why
592
00:31:41,108 --> 00:31:44,818
it was considered the most
sacred site in ancient Egypt.
593
00:31:44,945 --> 00:31:47,165
People coming
from all over Egypt,
594
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,780
you see, would find
their local important god
595
00:31:50,867 --> 00:31:52,037
-worshipped here.
-Yes.
596
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:56,119
SETY: It may be
that the gods themselves
597
00:31:56,248 --> 00:31:58,748
were coming to Abydos
on pilgrimage to Osiris.
598
00:31:58,834 --> 00:32:00,424
I was beginning to think
599
00:32:00,502 --> 00:32:02,422
I�d never see it again
in this life.
600
00:32:02,504 --> 00:32:06,094
-Yes.
-I�ll see it in the next one.
601
00:32:08,468 --> 00:32:11,638
NARRATOR:
Could it be true that this extraordinary woman
602
00:32:11,721 --> 00:32:14,971
was connected to
the gods of ancient Egypt?
603
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:19,060
Gods that were perhaps
extraterrestrials?
604
00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:23,650
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
605
00:32:23,775 --> 00:32:26,355
the answer
is a resounding "yes,"
606
00:32:26,486 --> 00:32:29,816
and they suggest the proof
may soon be found
607
00:32:29,906 --> 00:32:31,696
by investigating
608
00:32:31,825 --> 00:32:34,955
a prophecy she made
about the tomb
609
00:32:35,036 --> 00:32:40,456
of King Tut.
610
00:32:40,542 --> 00:32:43,292
NARRATOR: Over the course
of her lifetime, Omm Sety
611
00:32:43,378 --> 00:32:46,628
made countless predictions
that were proven to be true.
612
00:32:47,424 --> 00:32:49,594
But perhaps her most significant
613
00:32:49,676 --> 00:32:52,346
was one that has yet
to be verified.
614
00:32:53,555 --> 00:32:57,685
In 1970, she claimed that
Pharaoh Seti had given her
615
00:32:57,809 --> 00:33:00,139
important information about
the location of
616
00:33:00,228 --> 00:33:03,228
the lost mummy of
an 18th Dynasty queen
617
00:33:03,356 --> 00:33:06,106
named Nefertiti.
618
00:33:06,193 --> 00:33:09,323
ROMANY: Nefertiti�s Tomb
has become the new obsession
619
00:33:09,404 --> 00:33:11,704
of the 21st century.
620
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:14,283
Everyone wants to
find Nefertiti�s Tomb.
621
00:33:14,367 --> 00:33:16,617
Now here�s this truth:
622
00:33:16,703 --> 00:33:19,873
in Amarna, in the city of ruins,
623
00:33:19,956 --> 00:33:22,326
there is a tomb for
Nefertiti there.
624
00:33:22,417 --> 00:33:25,087
But her mummy
was never found there.
625
00:33:26,463 --> 00:33:29,803
NARRATOR:
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
626
00:33:29,883 --> 00:33:32,683
recovering this mummy
could be the most significant
627
00:33:32,761 --> 00:33:35,641
archaeological find
in human history--
628
00:33:35,722 --> 00:33:38,312
because they believe Nefertiti
629
00:33:38,391 --> 00:33:41,191
was very likely
not of this world.
630
00:33:41,269 --> 00:33:45,269
Nefertiti�s parents are unknown.
631
00:33:45,398 --> 00:33:48,148
On pictures,
she is shown with one of
632
00:33:48,235 --> 00:33:50,405
these elongated heads.
633
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,991
Now we know
the old Egyptian gods,
634
00:33:54,074 --> 00:33:56,914
they had
longer heads than we have.
635
00:33:57,035 --> 00:34:00,495
And according to
the Pyramid Texts,
636
00:34:00,580 --> 00:34:03,290
sometimes they left the Earth.
637
00:34:03,416 --> 00:34:08,086
So Nefertiti�s parents
were maybe extraterrestrials.
638
00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:13,298
NARRATOR:
This sensational claim applies not only to Nefertiti,
639
00:34:13,426 --> 00:34:17,346
but also to her husband,
the Pharaoh Akhenaten.
640
00:34:17,430 --> 00:34:20,520
During his rule,
Akhenaten introduced
641
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,350
a new and controversial
monotheistic faith to Egypt,
642
00:34:24,437 --> 00:34:28,107
where the worship of multiple
gods was replaced with reverence
643
00:34:28,233 --> 00:34:33,243
to only one disk-shaped
sun god called Aten.
644
00:34:33,321 --> 00:34:37,951
TSOUKALOS:
Akhenaten is worshipping this sun disk up in the sky,
645
00:34:38,034 --> 00:34:40,834
and he actually
communicates with it.
646
00:34:40,954 --> 00:34:45,214
He said he spoke with
a disk and it also had wings.
647
00:34:45,292 --> 00:34:48,422
So, the idea is that we have
648
00:34:48,503 --> 00:34:51,593
a misunderstood technology here.
649
00:34:52,549 --> 00:34:56,389
And Akhenaten, in the ancient
astronaut opinion, may have been
650
00:34:56,469 --> 00:34:57,719
an extraterrestrial.
651
00:34:57,804 --> 00:35:00,524
NARRATOR:
Some Egyptologists believe
652
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,230
that a mummy found
in a vandalized tomb in
653
00:35:03,310 --> 00:35:07,060
the Valley of the Kings is
in fact Akhenaten,
654
00:35:07,147 --> 00:35:10,727
while others say the remains of
the controversial pharaoh
655
00:35:10,817 --> 00:35:12,277
are still missing.
656
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,530
But locating Nefertiti�s mummy
657
00:35:14,654 --> 00:35:16,494
may be well within reach--
658
00:35:16,573 --> 00:35:19,493
thanks to Omm Sety.
659
00:35:19,576 --> 00:35:22,826
One amazing idea that Omm Sety
has left us,
660
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:25,164
that is still yet to be
fulfilled,
661
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:28,040
involves the tomb of
the Queen Nefertiti.
662
00:35:28,168 --> 00:35:31,958
During a conversation
with Pharaoh Seti,
663
00:35:32,047 --> 00:35:34,087
he told her that
664
00:35:34,174 --> 00:35:38,554
Nefertiti�s tomb is
nearby Tutankhamun�s tomb,
665
00:35:38,678 --> 00:35:40,928
in a place that no one
would think to look.
666
00:35:42,015 --> 00:35:45,645
NARRATOR: Tutankhamun,
better known as King Tut,
667
00:35:45,727 --> 00:35:48,187
was the son of Akhenaten
by another wife,
668
00:35:48,271 --> 00:35:50,941
making Nefertiti his stepmother.
669
00:35:51,024 --> 00:35:53,654
But when the tomb
of King Tut was discovered
670
00:35:53,735 --> 00:35:55,745
roughly a century ago,
671
00:35:55,862 --> 00:35:59,452
the entire area around
it was thoroughly excavated.
672
00:36:00,617 --> 00:36:04,367
So, how could Nefertiti�s
mummy be somewhere nearby?
673
00:36:05,330 --> 00:36:08,880
Over the past few years,
evidence has been found
674
00:36:08,958 --> 00:36:11,128
from ground penetration radar
675
00:36:11,211 --> 00:36:16,301
and other means of
the existence of a chamber
676
00:36:16,383 --> 00:36:21,473
next to that
of Tutankhamun himself.
677
00:36:21,554 --> 00:36:26,564
NARRATOR:
Incredibly, 35 years after Omm Sety suggested
678
00:36:26,643 --> 00:36:30,813
that the mummy of Nefertiti
was hidden near King Tut�s tomb,
679
00:36:30,897 --> 00:36:33,897
evidence was
discovered that this tomb
680
00:36:33,983 --> 00:36:37,363
may contain a secret chamber.
681
00:36:38,738 --> 00:36:43,658
COLLINS:
In 2005, the British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves,
682
00:36:43,743 --> 00:36:45,543
he noticed that there were
683
00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:48,000
some cracks in the walls.
684
00:36:48,081 --> 00:36:51,171
And on further examination,
685
00:36:51,251 --> 00:36:53,501
he came to the conclusion
that these could possibly
686
00:36:53,586 --> 00:36:55,836
be that of a doorway
687
00:36:55,922 --> 00:36:58,052
into a separate chamber.
688
00:36:59,092 --> 00:37:02,762
And since that time,
there has been radar
689
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:04,807
done inside the tomb
which definitely seems
690
00:37:04,931 --> 00:37:08,391
to confirm that there
is some kind of chamber.
691
00:37:08,476 --> 00:37:11,096
And is it possible, therefore,
692
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:14,149
that this could be
the tomb of Nefertiti?
693
00:37:14,274 --> 00:37:19,614
NARRATOR:
Archeologists are still debating how to enter the hidden chamber
694
00:37:19,696 --> 00:37:23,116
without causing severe
damage to King Tut�s tomb.
695
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:26,119
Once they do, will they discover
696
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:28,624
that Omm Sety was correct?
697
00:37:28,747 --> 00:37:31,367
And that her amazing life
didn�t just
698
00:37:31,458 --> 00:37:33,208
connect us to ancient Egypt,
699
00:37:33,293 --> 00:37:36,173
but to our ancestors
in the stars?
700
00:37:36,296 --> 00:37:39,876
NEWMAN: Nefertiti�s tomb
is potentially very special,
701
00:37:39,966 --> 00:37:41,466
because Nefertiti may have had
702
00:37:41,551 --> 00:37:45,051
the secrets of the whole
Akhenaten lineage.
703
00:37:46,055 --> 00:37:48,215
Did she have
an elongated skull herself?
704
00:37:48,308 --> 00:37:50,308
I think finding her tomb
705
00:37:50,393 --> 00:37:54,233
could answer a lot of unanswered
questions in ancient Egypt.
706
00:37:55,398 --> 00:37:57,068
NARRATOR: Throughout her life,
707
00:37:57,150 --> 00:37:59,110
Omm Sety made
numerous predictions
708
00:37:59,194 --> 00:38:01,744
that years later
were proven to be true.
709
00:38:01,821 --> 00:38:05,701
And according to
ancient astronaut theorists,
710
00:38:05,825 --> 00:38:09,905
she may well have been
facilitating an alien agenda--
711
00:38:09,996 --> 00:38:14,496
one whose purpose
is soon to be revealed.
712
00:38:19,506 --> 00:38:22,836
NARRATOR: On April 21, 1981,
713
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:25,087
Dorothy Eady,
714
00:38:25,178 --> 00:38:27,468
now famously known as Omm Sety,
715
00:38:27,555 --> 00:38:31,475
dies in Abydos at the age of 77.
716
00:38:32,393 --> 00:38:35,863
Of her many
contributions to Egyptology,
717
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:38,900
the reconstruction
of the Temple of Seti I
718
00:38:39,025 --> 00:38:41,395
stands as her
greatest accomplishment,
719
00:38:41,528 --> 00:38:45,238
attracting millions
of tourists every year.
720
00:38:46,282 --> 00:38:49,872
NEWMAN:
Because of Omm Sety, Abydos is one of the most
721
00:38:49,994 --> 00:38:52,874
important places
in ancient Egypt.
722
00:38:52,997 --> 00:38:56,747
The Seti temple is an
absolutely fascinating temple.
723
00:38:56,876 --> 00:39:02,256
It�s got beautiful carvings and
pillars and wall inscriptions.
724
00:39:02,382 --> 00:39:06,222
It has the famous
kings list on it,
725
00:39:06,302 --> 00:39:08,932
which is really interesting,
726
00:39:09,055 --> 00:39:10,505
because this really describes
727
00:39:10,598 --> 00:39:13,308
kings going back
thousands of years.
728
00:39:17,564 --> 00:39:21,284
NARRATOR: While many consider
the Temple of Seti in Abydos
729
00:39:21,401 --> 00:39:23,441
to be the most
sacred site in Egypt,
730
00:39:23,570 --> 00:39:25,360
for ancient astronaut theorists,
731
00:39:25,446 --> 00:39:29,196
it may represent
something even more profound.
732
00:39:29,284 --> 00:39:31,624
Could this
ancient structure have
733
00:39:31,744 --> 00:39:34,044
once been capable of
opening a portal
734
00:39:34,122 --> 00:39:35,792
to other parts of the universe,
735
00:39:35,915 --> 00:39:38,245
as Omm Sety claimed?
736
00:39:39,002 --> 00:39:41,752
And was her work
in Egypt the fulfillment
737
00:39:41,838 --> 00:39:44,418
of an otherworldly agenda?
738
00:39:44,507 --> 00:39:46,627
HENRY:
Omm Sety�s story has meaning
739
00:39:46,759 --> 00:39:49,759
on many levels:
as a spiritual story,
740
00:39:49,846 --> 00:39:52,766
as a reincarnation story,
741
00:39:52,891 --> 00:39:54,851
as an archeological story.
742
00:39:54,934 --> 00:39:57,404
But most importantly to me,
it says
743
00:39:57,478 --> 00:39:59,648
that we can open portals
744
00:39:59,772 --> 00:40:01,772
between our
earthly material world
745
00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:04,490
and the immaterial realm
of the gods.
746
00:40:04,611 --> 00:40:06,781
That�s the realm of
the extraterrestrials.
747
00:40:07,947 --> 00:40:10,567
McGOWAN: There�s something so
special about Omm Sety because
748
00:40:10,658 --> 00:40:15,698
she makes all of these ideas--
interdimensional realities,
749
00:40:15,788 --> 00:40:20,168
time travel, connections
with otherworldly beings--
750
00:40:20,293 --> 00:40:23,003
she makes all of these
things real.
751
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:26,842
Her predictions came true.
752
00:40:26,966 --> 00:40:30,216
And Omm Sety really
influenced and inspired
753
00:40:30,303 --> 00:40:32,353
generations of people
754
00:40:32,472 --> 00:40:34,722
who wanted to get deeper into
755
00:40:34,807 --> 00:40:37,307
an understanding of Egyptology.
756
00:40:38,728 --> 00:40:43,608
DEES:
When it came to being a woman of
757
00:40:43,691 --> 00:40:44,981
service to Egyptology,
758
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:48,699
she was all
seriousness and science.
759
00:40:49,822 --> 00:40:52,412
But the esoteric part,
760
00:40:52,492 --> 00:40:55,702
the parallel consciousness,
that was there, too.
761
00:40:55,828 --> 00:40:58,208
And I have no way of proving
762
00:40:58,331 --> 00:41:00,041
that she didn�t experience this
763
00:41:00,166 --> 00:41:03,286
and there are so many
reasons to think she did.
764
00:41:03,378 --> 00:41:06,378
TSOUKALOS:
Omm Sety is one of the most
765
00:41:06,506 --> 00:41:09,216
enduring mysterious stories
766
00:41:09,342 --> 00:41:12,762
in the history of humankind.
767
00:41:12,845 --> 00:41:14,965
Because even the Egyptologists
768
00:41:15,056 --> 00:41:20,016
say that she had something
that nobody else had.
769
00:41:20,103 --> 00:41:25,113
So is it possible that
maybe she tuned into
770
00:41:25,191 --> 00:41:29,031
a direct channel
of ancient Egypt?
771
00:41:30,530 --> 00:41:33,410
I think the answer
to that is "yes."
772
00:41:34,450 --> 00:41:36,910
NARRATOR: Some believe
that Omm Sety�s story
773
00:41:37,036 --> 00:41:38,576
is not yet complete.
774
00:41:38,705 --> 00:41:42,715
Is it possible that
her life�s work was to help
775
00:41:42,834 --> 00:41:46,094
prepare for the return
of Egypt�s ancient gods?
776
00:41:48,089 --> 00:41:52,549
Perhaps, like Dorothy Eady,
humankind is about to awaken
777
00:41:52,635 --> 00:41:54,425
to an entirely new reality,
778
00:41:54,554 --> 00:41:56,764
and find that the key to
779
00:41:56,889 --> 00:41:59,559
unlocking our future
in the stars
780
00:41:59,684 --> 00:42:04,944
can be found deep in our own
extraterrestrial past.
