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. 31 00:01:37,209 --> 00:01:39,249 DvX3M www.opensubtitles.org 32 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

00:27:47,746 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. 781 00:42:05,064 --> 00:42:07,944
