NARRATOR: More than 5,000 years ago,
Egypt gave rise to the world’s first great empire,
and in the 20th century, a mysterious woman
named Omm Sety helped bring ancient Egypt back to life.
LYNN PICKNETT: Omm Sety was one of the most remarkable women
of the 20th century-- possibly ever.
She moved modern archaeology along enormously.
NARRATOR: She claimed to be the reincarnation
of a priestess.
ANDREW COLLINS: Omm Sety had an incredible insight
into ancient Egypt in a way which went beyond the norm.
NARRATOR: And she astonished archaeologists
with her incredible knowledge.
KATHLEEN McGOWAN: They’re fond of saying in Abydos
that Omm Sety was never wrong.
And she was not.
NARRATOR: But was Omm Sety being directed
by some unseen force?
Perhaps one of otherworldly origin?
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: She truly believed that she was bringing back
the old age of the gods.

NARRATOR: There is a doorway in the universe.
Beyond it is the promise of truth.
It demands we question everything

We have never been alone.

NARRATOR: Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities
stages "The Pharaohs’ Golden Parade,"
a glittering celebration honoring
the nation’s ancient rulers.
The Pharaohs’ Golden Parade was a major spectacle.
Mummies of ancient Egypt’s greatest pharaohs,
22 of them,
paraded through the capital.
All of Egypt is watching.
The world’s watching, and there’s just
tremendous excitement.
JONATHAN YOUNG: The bodies were paraded
through the majestic boulevards of Cairo
to a new home, a new palace, a new museum.
Nothing like this had happened since the days of Cleopatra,
and the glory of ancient Egypt was rediscovered by the world.
NARRATOR: The Pharaohs’ Golden Parade
was intended to revitalize Egypt’s tourism industry.
And the three-mile procession from the old Egyptian Museum
in Tahrir Square to the new National Museum
seemed to bring a long-forgotten age back to life.
In the Western world, in the 21st century,
people are hungry for
connecting with something truly ancient and very powerful.
That’s ancient Egypt.
And what we’re starting to see is a tremendous resurgence
and interest in the Egyptian mysteries and the gods.
NARRATOR: Considered by most historians to be the world’s
first great empire,
ancient Egypt is of enormous significance to
the ancient astronaut theory.
It was a place of colossal structures,
technologies so advanced that they continue to astonish,
and a pantheon of gods said to have come from the stars.
In ancient Egypt, one of the origin stories says
that a long time ago
a pyramid-shaped stone descended from the sky.
Out of which the first creator gods
emerged and started Egyptian civilization.
In fact, they referred to a golden age
when the gods still mingled with human beings.
In ancient Egypt, it’s chock-full
of references of celestial beings descending from the sky
and imparting knowledge to our ancestors.
♪ ♪
NARRATOR: Egyptian civilization arose in North Africa
around 3100 BC,
and thrived for 3,000 years,
before being conquered by the Roman Empire.
Over the centuries, many of its monuments--
celebrating the gods and pharaohs--
were literally overcome by the sands of time.
But Egypt came roaring back to the world’s attention
in the 20th century, thanks in large part
to the contributions of one of the most extraordinary
and unlikely Egyptologists who ever lived--
Dorothy Eady, more commonly known as Omm Sety.
COLLINS: Omm Sety had
an incredible insight into ancient Egypt in a way
which went beyond the norm.
TSOUKALOS: She wrote books, she wrote articles.
She was one of the most
accomplished Egyptologists the world has ever known.
And she had no formal training.
Personally, I think Omm Sety was one of
the most remarkable women of the 20th century--
possibly ever.
NARRATOR: Omm Sety astounded Egyptologists with her
ability to accurately predict the location
of lost ruins and artifacts-- seemingly out of the blue.
Her incredible story includes revelations from a past life,
communicating with ancient pharaohs and gods,
and ultimately, recovering critical pieces
of Egypt’s lost history.
There are many who believe the life of Omm Sety
was guided by a higher power--
especially when considering it began with a miracle.
Three-year-old Dorothy Eady
is playing in her family home
when she takes a terrible fall down the stairs.
When the doctor comes to examine her,
she is completely nonresponsive,
and he soon pronounces her dead.
But when the doctor returns to collect her body,
he is shocked at what he sees.
McGOWAN: When he comes back
to prepare the body,
little Dorothy is sitting up, and playing,
and eating candy.
The doctor was certain that little Dorothy had been dead,
but here she was, and she was awake, and she was great.
NARRATOR: But while she suffered no lasting injuries from the fall,
Dorothy Eady’s personality had changed in a way
that deeply disturbed her parents.
PICKNETT: She was like a different girl.
And she started talking about
going home, "I want to go home."
And her parents, of course, said,
"But you are home, darling."
You know, she said, "No, I want to go home!
Not here-- home!"
NARRATOR: The following year, a family trip
to the British Museum in London gave her parents
more cause for concern.
Everything was going normally until they got to the area
of the Egyptian rooms.
And this little girl ran up to the statues
and kissed the feet
and was just out of her mind with joy.
NARRATOR: Not long after, Dorothy began having
recurring visions of a place that would dominate her life
for the next 60 years-- the Temple of Seti
in the small Egyptian town of Abydos.
DEES: Her father brings home an exploration magazine
and it has photographs of the ruins
of the Temple of Seti in Abydos.
And she sees it all ruined with sand
and the roof caved in,
and she starts to cry.
Because that’s her place
and something terrible has happened to it.
Here’s this little girl saying, "Not only did I live there,
"but it looked completely different
when I lived there thousands of years ago."
NARRATOR: Did Dorothy Eady simply have
an extraordinary imagination?
Or is it possible-- as many researchers suspect--
that when she hit her head falling down the stairs
it awakened a memory of a past life?
SPRAGUE: There have actually been many documented cases
where someone who has suffered
a brain injury or head trauma suddenly has something unlocked
within them and now they can
play an instrument that they never learned
or speak a language that they’d never spoken before,
or have some sort of skill that seemingly came out of nowhere.
It is possible that because of the fall
that Dorothy endured that this is what happened.
She had something unlocked in her brain and all of a sudden
she can actually tap into a past life experience.
NARRATOR: Reincarnation is defined as the rebirth of a soul
into a new body, and from an early age,
Dorothy Eady sensed she had lived a past life in Abydos.
While many in the West view reincarnation with skepticism,
numerous cultures, both past and present,
consider it an integral part of their belief system--
and ancient Egypt was no exception.
In ancient Egyptian religion there was a great emphasis
on the next life, the afterlife.
The ancient Egyptians did believe in reincarnation,
that the soul appeared many times.
NARRATOR: Omm Sety was famous for accessing memories
from a past life, but she herself claimed
that much of her knowledge was given to her by figures
she encountered in the night.
Figures that came to her from the distant past--
and some that came from the stars.
NARRATOR: At the British Museum, ten-year-old Dorothy Eady
is exploring the Egyptian galleries
when she catches the eye of one of the world’s most prominent
Egyptologists-- Sir Ernest Wallis Budge.
TSOUKALOS: Wallace Budge
took her under his wing.
And at the time, he was it, man.
You couldn’t get any higher.
And, all of a sudden, this guy
is interested in a ten-year-old?
Well, there had to be something there
that was absolutely extraordinary.
PICKNETT: This tiny child just knew everything.
She took to Egyptian hieroglyphics
very readily.
Um, and sort of almost paranormally swiftly.
NARRATOR: With over 1,000 distinct characters,
hieroglyphic writing takes modern scholars years to master.
Did Dorothy Eady simply have an unusual aptitude
for mastering a complicated writing system?
Or is there another explanation?
Years later, Dorothy would answer that question herself.
At the age of 27, Dorothy Eady takes a job
with a political journal advocating for
greater Egyptian independence from Great Britain.
The British had had
control over Egypt for quite a long time.
And there was a semi-independence,
but-but still not independence.
So, Dorothy was headlong into that.
RAMY ROMANY: At that time, there was a crazy Egyptian Egyptomania
presence around the world.
Dorothy was ahead of them.
She was already obsessed with Egypt.
She started working at an Egyptian
PR relations magazine in London.
And that’s when she met Eman Abdel Meguid.
He was a student at the time.
DEES: Eman was a young Egyptian man studying to be a teacher.
And Eman fell head over heels in love with this
energetic, passionate woman.
And when he had to go back to Egypt,
he asked her to marry him-- and she did.
(ship horn blowing)
She just went to Cairo.
♪ ♪
NARRATOR: Dorothy and Eman married and moved in with
Eman’s parents in Cairo.
Not long after, she gave birth to a baby boy
and named him Sety,
after the great pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty, Seti I.
In accordance with Egyptian tradition,
Dorothy changes her name to reflect her status
as an Egyptian mother.
DEES: Whoever your
firstborn child is you are the mother of that child.
You are Omm, the mother, and then the child’s name.
NARRATOR: Dorothy Eady is now Omm Sety,
and she spends every moment she can
exploring the archeological wonders of ancient Egypt.
♪ ♪
She went all over.
She studied everywhere.
And she specifically went to Giza Plateau a lot.
She is obsessed by the Pyramid of Giza.
And she ended up meeting Selim Hassan.
Selim is a huge person.
He’s the godfather of Egyptology.
He liked her enthusiasm about archaeology.
PICKNETT: He was terribly impressed by her.
I mean, she was no sort of mad flake.
She knew stuff.
She was very handy.
And also, she offered her services
as a proofreader of his writings,
and as a drafts woman because she was very good
at drawing his finds.
NARRATOR: Omm Sety became a pivotal contributor to Hassan’s work,
sketching the illustrations of his findings and helping to edit
his towering opus,
the ten-volume Excavations at Giza.
To this day, many Egyptologists consider it
to be the most important study of the Giza Plateau,
which is the home of the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx.
Ultimately, Omm Sety became so consumed with studying
ancient Egypt that it left her no room for her marriage.
DEES: She sometimes would just spend the night out
in one of the tombs
and she would bring her baby.
And of course, her husband realized that
this just was a marriage that could not work
and he didn’t want his child brought up in that environment.
He asked for a divorce. He got custody.
NARRATOR: Around this same time, in the early 1930s,
Omm Sety began to have mysterious encounters at night,
awakening in what she described as a trance-like state
to find a figure in ancient Egyptian garb
standing before her.
This entity refers to himself as Hor-Ra,
and he begins to give her information,
and he tells her to write it down.
She was writing it in a type of cursive,
hieroglyphic script known as demotic writing,
but in her daily living life, she could not write demotic.
And this went on for almost a year until she had
70-plus pages of information in this demotic script.
♪ ♪
It wasn’t until she sat down
with a number of demotic dictionaries
and went through the manuscript page-by-page
and began to actually translate it,
that she ultimately
came up with the story that he was telling her.
NARRATOR: According to Omm Sety’s writings,
Hor-Ra had related the story of Omm Sety’s own
previous life in ancient Egypt
as a girl named Bentreshyt, born in Abydos in 1300 BC.
Eventually, Bentreshyt became a priestess of the goddess Isis,
and got involved in a secret affair with the Pharaoh Seti I.
But who was this mysterious messenger called Hor-Ra?
And what was his reason for telling Omm Sety
the story of her past life?
What happened to Omm Sety is actually extremely similar
to everything we’ve learned about
close encounters with extraterrestrial beings.
Some sort of message is imparted to a human being
and then it’s up to them how they interpret it
and use that information.
NARRATOR: Is it possible that Hor-Ra was an actual visitor
from another time-- or another world?
Soon after Omm Sety learned about her past life
in ancient Abydos,
she had another nocturnal visitation
and was transported back in time to her home,
and to her former lover, Pharaoh Seti I.
MASTERS: Omm Sety describes going to Abydos.
And she also claims to have visited not just that place,
but the time that she claims
to have hailed from in 1300 BC.
Over 3,000 years ago.
It was very important because it helped her
to provide information to modern-day archaeologists
who are looking for things.
She knew they existed before they were found.
HENRY: The way Dorothy Eady describes her interaction
sounds strikingly similar to modern-era
alien abduction phenomenon.
She describes this amorphous shimmering being
suddenly appearing before her
in a physical form
and then takes her
to an otherworldly realm
where she’s given specific knowledge
and then is returned to her room.
You have to wonder whether she was perhaps actually taken
physically back in time
then brought back to the present.
So, is it possible that the strange entities
that were coming to her were extraterrestrials?
NARRATOR: In Cairo, Omm Sety impressed Egyptologists
with her understanding of hieroglyphs
and knowledge of the ancient world.
But the astounding revelations
for which she would become famous
had to do with the place she claimed to be
her home in a past life, the sacred city of Abydos.
And when she finally returned there,
her insights would prove critical
to reconstructing a temple that,
according to the ancient Egyptians,
provided a direct connection to the gods.
NARRATOR: After 20 years in Cairo,
Omm Sety feels an irresistible urge
to move to Abydos-- the place she dreamt of as a child,
and which she believed was her home in a former life.
300 miles south of Cairo, this 5,000-year-old town
was once the chief pilgrimage center of ancient Egypt.
People came to worship Osiris, the god of the underworld,
who brought knowledge to the people of the Nile.
YOUNG: The faithful,
in a strong tradition may have a pilgrimage site.
Abydos was that for the ancient Egyptians
as Varanasi is for the Hindu in India,
Jerusalem for the Jews, Mecca for Islam.
These places change you.
NARRATOR: According to Egypt’s Pyramid Texts,
the gods Osiris and Isis came to Earth
from their home in the stars of Orion’s Belt.
Is it more than mere coincidence
that Omm Sety was drawn to Abydos--
the place where Egypt’s most important gods were worshipped?
Could it be that she was led to this location because it served
an important purpose for otherworldly visitors?
CHILDRESS: When you look back at ancient Egyptian history
and the various stories that the gods came down
to educate the Egyptians
who have power and very high-tech means to do things,
including building the pyramids and raising obelisks,
moving stones that weigh hundreds of tons.
It would seem like they’re extraterrestrials.
And so, that Omm Sety was living in Abydos is significant.
NARRATOR: With decades of experience assisting Egyptologists
in Cairo, 47-year-old Omm Sety
seeks out Edouard Ghazouli,
the man in charge of excavating the ruins
of the Temple of Seti I, which is in shambles.
Having heard of Omm Sety’s uncanny knowledge,
Ghazouli devises a test,
asking her to find specific locations and carvings within
the temple that he and his team have just discovered.
-Long time, no see! -Hello, Omm Sety.
-Don’t get up. -How are you?
NARRATOR: Omm Sety herself described this test
in a 1981 BBC documentary
called Omm Seti and Her Egypt.
They said that they would test me.
The first time I went in, they told me where to go.
It was the chapel of Amun.
So, I went right in, and they told me to go
in front of the scene of the sacred boats, which I did.
Called out.
They came, they found me
where I was supposed to be.
They said, "Ah, that’s just chance."
I said, "Well, try again."
Well, they tried several times,
and each time, I was in the right place.
It was as if I walked in...
into a place where I had lived before and knew all about it.
INTERVIEWER: Did you recognize anybody
from the reliefs?
SETY: Oh, Seti!
The King Seti. I had known him.
NARRATOR: The archaeologists on-site were astounded
by Omm Sety’s unexplainable knowledge.
But what left them truly stunned was her revelation
of a temple garden that no one knew existed.
CHILDRESS: She asked them,
where is this garden that she was very familiar with?
And the archeologists said, "Well, there’s no garden here."
TSOUKALOS: And she said, "It’s over there, just go dig."
And the head excavator says,
"We know for a fact there’s no garden over there."
And she says, "Yes, yes, there is, please just do it."
And they started digging, and they found the garden.
So, it’s stuff like that--
just speaking right now, I have goose bumps,
because stuff like that shouldn’t happen.
NARRATOR: Omm Sety remained at the temple for the rest of her life,
helping to uncover artifacts known to her
not only from her past life memories,
but also from the visitors she continued
to encounter in her dreams.
While these dream-state encounters
were regarded with skepticism in the 20th century,
in ancient Egypt, they were not uncommon.
One of the key aspects of Omm Sety’s story
is the dream conduit that she opened up
to receive knowledge and also to connect with
these otherworldly beings.
This is something that’s very important
to the ancient Egyptians.
NARRATOR: In the ancient world, there was a religious practice
often referred to as "incubation,"
which involved sleeping in a sacred area
with the intention of experiencing
a divinely inspired dream.
Stories of sleep incubation can be found in the Hebrew Bible,
in ancient Greece, and perhaps most commonly
in ancient Egypt.
HENRY: There’s story after story of people coming,
for example, to Saqqara,
which was a dream incubation center.
People would come to Saqqara, go into a dream,
and have an experience with the god Ptah
or a healing entity, and be cured of
whatever that malady was.
PICKNETT: Going back to Pharaoh Seti the first,
he depended upon dreams.
He had a dream that informed him where to dig
to find the-- what was already ancient Osirion.
So, it was not unknown for the ancient Egyptians,
to use dreams in a very practical way.
NARRATOR: According to Omm Sety,
after she moved to Abydos, Pharaoh Seti--
who had been visiting her in the night--
began to appear to her even when she was not asleep
or in a meditative state.
CHILDRESS: People would allegedly see
him in her room
as a physical person.
So, how could this be?
Is he an extraterrestrial
who is able to travel through different dimensions
and to different times?
NARRATOR: If the figure that appeared to Omm Sety
as the Pharaoh Seti was an extraterrestrial,
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, what was his agenda?
Perhaps further clues can be found by taking a closer look
at the life of this mysterious pharaoh.
NARRATOR: Thebes, Egypt. 1290 BC.
The elderly King Rameses I passes away
after a reign of just 16 months,
and his son Seti is announced as the new pharaoh.
Egypt is in a period of chaos,
and Pharaoh Seti believes the only way
to save it is to restore the power of the old gods.
Pharaoh Seti is one of the most important characters
in Egyptian history.
And one of Seti’s most important objectives
as pharaoh was to bring back the old gods,
to bring back the power of the old gods,
the understanding of the importance of Osiris.
One of the things that he does as part of
that restoration of the old ways
to the multiple gods is go to Abydos,
builds the temple there with lots of different side temples
that are there to worship these different gods and goddesses.
NARRATOR: In Abydos, Seti built one of the most
magnificent temples in all of Egypt,
containing seven chapels dedicated to different gods.
But when Omm Sety arrived in Abydos in 1951, the great temple
she claimed to have known in her past life was all but gone.
HENRY: There was around 2,500 pieces of the temple
scattered everywhere,
and Ghazouli and others had no idea
how to fit these pieces back together.
But Omm Sety, maintaining that she had this past life memory,
could tell them, "Oh, this piece would go here.
This piece would go there. I remember it looking like this."
TSOUKALOS: This was an incredibly daunting task.
But she started each day
with unbridled passion and enthusiasm.
And Abydos was reconstructed,
according to Omm Sety’s instructions.
McGOWAN: She solves the amazing jigsaw puzzle,
putting together these 2,500 pieces
and restoring the Temple of Abydos in two and a half years,
which is absolutely impossible
without her extraordinary understanding of the temple.
It would have taken 20 years for anybody else
to do the work that she did in two and a half years.
NARRATOR: According to Omm Sety, restoring the temple at Abydos
was about much more than just resurrecting the past.
To her closest friends, she confided that
this ancient structure served an extraordinary purpose.
Omm Sety would actually state that
the Temple of Abydos served as a star gate of sorts,
a place where you were able to
jump in and out of time and space.
NARRATOR: A star gate?
Could the Temple of Abydos have acted as a portal
to other points in the universe?
According to ancient astronaut theorists,
a feature inside the temple supports this sensational claim.
They point to a bell-shaped object painted on a chapel wall
that some refer to as the Osiris Device.
HENRY: When we look at this symbol through modern eyes,
it’s highly technological.
To the eyes of a physicist or an engineer,
it looks like a Tesla coil.
And you wonder, what could an image
that resembles a Tesla coil
be doing on the walls of a temple that’s 3,500 years old?
NARRATOR: The Tesla coil was designed in the late 1800s
by inventor Nikola Tesla
as a way to wirelessly transmit electricity.
But ancient astronaut theorists suggest there is a far more
advanced technology depicted on the opposite wall of the chapel.
HENRY: On the opposite wall, we see the same device,
but now it’s attached to what is called
the Neshmet Barge of Osiris, his resurrection barge.
And what’s so amazing about this barge is that its shape
is virtually identical to the way modern science
portrays a wormhole or an Einstein-Rosen bridge.
McGOWAN: The power of Abydos is something
that we’re still only beginning to understand.
It’s such a profoundly mysterious place.
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
by reconstructing the temple at Abydos,
Omm Sety was restoring an ancient star gate?
And if so, was she being directed
by otherworldly beings that have the power to activate it?
By the 1970s, Omm Sety had become famous
beyond the world of Egyptology.
She was toasted by luminaries like Carl Sagan
and became the subject of several books and documentaries.
SETY: Om Seti means
"mother of Seti," because I have a son named Seti,
hoping he’d turn out like the king.
Of course, he didn’t.
NARRATOR: In a 1981 BBC documentary,
76-year-old Omm Sety visits the temple in Abydos
with British Egyptologist Dr. Rosalie David.
Due to a hip injury, she hasn’t been
inside the temple in almost a year.
How do you feel, now you’ve arrived back
-after so many months? -Oh, I feel marvelous!
What are your feelings about it?
Indescribable.
NARRATOR: The temple, which she was integral in rebuilding,
honors not just one Egyptian god, but seven--
and Omm Sety had an incredible theory as to why
it was considered the most sacred site in ancient Egypt.
People coming from all over Egypt,
you see, would find their local important god
-worshipped here. -Yes.
SETY: It may be that the gods themselves
were coming to Abydos on pilgrimage to Osiris.
I was beginning to think
I’d never see it again in this life.
-Yes. -I’ll see it in the next one.
NARRATOR: Could it be true that this extraordinary woman
was connected to the gods of ancient Egypt?
Gods that were perhaps extraterrestrials?
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
the answer is a resounding "yes,"
and they suggest the proof may soon be found
by investigating
a prophecy she made about the tomb
of King Tut.
NARRATOR: Over the course of her lifetime, Omm Sety
made countless predictions that were proven to be true.
But perhaps her most significant
was one that has yet to be verified.
In 1970, she claimed that Pharaoh Seti had given her
important information about the location of
the lost mummy of an 18th Dynasty queen
named Nefertiti.
ROMANY: Nefertiti’s Tomb has become the new obsession
of the 21st century.
Everyone wants to find Nefertiti’s Tomb.
Now here’s this truth:
in Amarna, in the city of ruins,
there is a tomb for Nefertiti there.
But her mummy was never found there.
NARRATOR: As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
recovering this mummy could be the most significant
archaeological find in human history--
because they believe Nefertiti
was very likely not of this world.
Nefertiti’s parents are unknown.
On pictures, she is shown with one of
these elongated heads.
Now we know the old Egyptian gods,
they had longer heads than we have.
And according to the Pyramid Texts,
sometimes they left the Earth.
So Nefertiti’s parents were maybe extraterrestrials.
NARRATOR: This sensational claim applies not only to Nefertiti,
but also to her husband, the Pharaoh Akhenaten.
During his rule, Akhenaten introduced
a new and controversial monotheistic faith to Egypt,
where the worship of multiple gods was replaced with reverence
to only one disk-shaped sun god called Aten.
TSOUKALOS: Akhenaten is worshipping this sun disk up in the sky,
and he actually communicates with it.
He said he spoke with a disk and it also had wings.
So, the idea is that we have
a misunderstood technology here.
And Akhenaten, in the ancient astronaut opinion, may have been
an extraterrestrial.
NARRATOR: Some Egyptologists believe
that a mummy found in a vandalized tomb in
the Valley of the Kings is in fact Akhenaten,
while others say the remains of the controversial pharaoh
are still missing.
But locating Nefertiti’s mummy
may be well within reach--
thanks to Omm Sety.
One amazing idea that Omm Sety has left us,
that is still yet to be fulfilled,
involves the tomb of the Queen Nefertiti.
During a conversation with Pharaoh Seti,
he told her that
Nefertiti’s tomb is nearby Tutankhamun’s tomb,
in a place that no one would think to look.
NARRATOR: Tutankhamun, better known as King Tut,
was the son of Akhenaten by another wife,
making Nefertiti his stepmother.
But when the tomb of King Tut was discovered
roughly a century ago,
the entire area around it was thoroughly excavated.
So, how could Nefertiti’s mummy be somewhere nearby?
Over the past few years, evidence has been found
from ground penetration radar
and other means of the existence of a chamber
next to that of Tutankhamun himself.
NARRATOR: Incredibly, 35 years after Omm Sety suggested
that the mummy of Nefertiti was hidden near King Tut’s tomb,
evidence was discovered that this tomb
may contain a secret chamber.
COLLINS: In 2005, the British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves,
he noticed that there were
some cracks in the walls.
And on further examination,
he came to the conclusion that these could possibly
be that of a doorway
into a separate chamber.
And since that time, there has been radar
done inside the tomb which definitely seems
to confirm that there is some kind of chamber.
And is it possible, therefore,
that this could be the tomb of Nefertiti?
NARRATOR: Archeologists are still debating how to enter the hidden chamber
without causing severe damage to King Tut’s tomb.
Once they do, will they discover
that Omm Sety was correct?
And that her amazing life didn’t just
connect us to ancient Egypt,
but to our ancestors in the stars?
NEWMAN: Nefertiti’s tomb is potentially very special,
because Nefertiti may have had
the secrets of the whole Akhenaten lineage.
Did she have an elongated skull herself?
I think finding her tomb
could answer a lot of unanswered questions in ancient Egypt.
NARRATOR: Throughout her life,
Omm Sety made numerous predictions
that years later were proven to be true.
And according to ancient astronaut theorists,
she may well have been facilitating an alien agenda--
one whose purpose is soon to be revealed.
NARRATOR: On April 21, 1981,
Dorothy Eady,
now famously known as Omm Sety,
dies in Abydos at the age of 77.
Of her many contributions to Egyptology,
the reconstruction of the Temple of Seti I
stands as her greatest accomplishment,
attracting millions of tourists every year.
NEWMAN: Because of Omm Sety, Abydos is one of the most
important places in ancient Egypt.
The Seti temple is an absolutely fascinating temple.
It’s got beautiful carvings and pillars and wall inscriptions.
It has the famous kings list on it,
which is really interesting,
because this really describes
kings going back thousands of years.
NARRATOR: While many consider the Temple of Seti in Abydos
to be the most sacred site in Egypt,
for ancient astronaut theorists,
it may represent something even more profound.
Could this ancient structure have
once been capable of opening a portal
to other parts of the universe,
as Omm Sety claimed?
And was her work in Egypt the fulfillment
of an otherworldly agenda?
HENRY: Omm Sety’s story has meaning
on many levels: as a spiritual story,
as a reincarnation story,
as an archeological story.
But most importantly to me, it says
that we can open portals
between our earthly material world
and the immaterial realm of the gods.
That’s the realm of the extraterrestrials.
McGOWAN: There’s something so special about Omm Sety because
she makes all of these ideas-- interdimensional realities,
time travel, connections with otherworldly beings--
she makes all of these things real.
Her predictions came true.
And Omm Sety really influenced and inspired
generations of people
who wanted to get deeper into
an understanding of Egyptology.
DEES: When it came to being a woman of
service to Egyptology,
she was all seriousness and science.
But the esoteric part,
the parallel consciousness, that was there, too.
And I have no way of proving
that she didn’t experience this
and there are so many reasons to think she did.
TSOUKALOS: Omm Sety is one of the most
enduring mysterious stories
in the history of humankind.
Because even the Egyptologists
say that she had something that nobody else had.
So is it possible that maybe she tuned into
a direct channel of ancient Egypt?
I think the answer to that is "yes."
NARRATOR: Some believe that Omm Sety’s story
is not yet complete.
Is it possible that her life’s work was to help
prepare for the return of Egypt’s ancient gods?
Perhaps, like Dorothy Eady, humankind is about to awaken
to an entirely new reality,
and find that the key to
unlocking our future in the stars
can be found deep in our own extraterrestrial past.
