  • She Could Describe Artifacts Kept Secret From The Public on Random Facts About A Young Girl Came Back With Accurate Memories Of Her Past Life In Ancient Egypt

    (#7) She Could Describe Artifacts Kept Secret From The Public

    At the age of 52, Dorothy moved to Abydos, close to the Temple of Seti I, to continue her work as the first female draughtsman for the Department of Antiquity. But it wasn’t her first time there; she had previously visited the Temple of Seti I to revel in her ancient memories, and also help others by using her vast knowledge of Egyptian history. It was during one of those visits that she was ‘tested’ by the resident chief inspector - he knew her reputation and wanted to verify her authenticity. He had her stand near artwork and paintings in the temple without any light, and asked her to identify them. He was absolutely astounded when she recalled them easily and accurately, despite the fact that the paintings were not publicly known at the time. She continued to work there for the rest of her professional life, and helped many Egyptologists translate enigmatic and difficult hieroglyphs and writings. 

    Long after her retirement, her son Sety, who had since moved to Kuwait, offered to have her live with him, but she refused; she was dedicated to the Temple of Seti I. She spent every morning and evening praying in reverence to the gods of Egypt; there was no world for her beyond that country. On April 21st, 1981, Eady, also known as Omm Sety, died at the age of 77 in Abydos, Egypt.

  • She Claimed To Have Been A Priestess And Mistress To A Pharaoh In A Past Life on Random Facts About A Young Girl Came Back With Accurate Memories Of Her Past Life In Ancient Egypt

    (#5) She Claimed To Have Been A Priestess And Mistress To A Pharaoh In A Past Life

    No doubt one of the major issues that broke up Eady’s marriage was the fact that she insisted she was still being visited by Pharaoh Seti I in her dreams every night. This alone was a lot to digest, but she went on to claim that she was even visited by the ancient Egyptian god Ho-Ra (Horus). Horus recounted her past life to her in great detail.

    He told her that she used to be a woman named Bentreshyt, which meant ‘Harp of Joy’, and she had lived in the temple Seti I had built. Bentreshyt was the daughter of a soldier and a vegetable vendor, and was given to the temple when her mother died. There, she was raised to be a priestess. However, she and Seti I met when she was just a teen, and they became secret lovers. She eventually became pregnant, which carried severe repurcussions as she had taken vows of celibacy, thus her pregnancy was an offense to the goddess Isis. In order to keep Seti I from being publicly humiliated by their actions, Bentreshyt committed suicide.

  • After Moving To Egypt, She Began To Worship Ancient Egyptian Gods on Random Facts About A Young Girl Came Back With Accurate Memories Of Her Past Life In Ancient Egypt

    (#4) After Moving To Egypt, She Began To Worship Ancient Egyptian Gods

    At the age of 27, Dorothy married an Egyptian Londoner named Emam Abdel Meguid, and together they moved to Cairo. Together they had a son, and Eady named him Seti after the Pharaoh who visited her in her dreams. As was customary in Egypt, women were often called by their son’s names as a matter of respect. Thus, she became Omm Sety (Omm meaning “Mother of”) and for the rest of her life many local Egyptians as well as famed Egyptologists referred to her as such. The BBC even released a number of documentaries which referred to her as Omm Sety, as a matter of precedent over her given name, Dorothy.

    Sadly, her marriage barely lasted two years - he was forced to move to Iraq, and she was adamant about staying in Egypt. That, coupled with the facts that his family never approved of her, and her obsession with Egypt became more than he could handle.

  • She Was Instrumental In The Study Of Ancient Egyptian Ruins on Random Facts About A Young Girl Came Back With Accurate Memories Of Her Past Life In Ancient Egypt

    (#8) She Was Instrumental In The Study Of Ancient Egyptian Ruins

    Through both her dreams and dedicated studying, Eady became highly skilled and knowledgeable in many way regarding ancient Egypt. In fact, her ability to translate extremely difficult Egyptian hieroglyphs and writings was highly valued among many Egyptologists of her day.

    She first worked for Selim Hassan as his secretary and draughtsman. Dorothy’s contributions to his passion project Excavations at Giza earned her a special mention and heartfelt thanks in a number of its volumes. This led to her being employed by Ahmed Fakhry, another renowned archaeologist. Over the years, her work on ancient Egypt became so well-honed that many other archeologists came to her for help. In her book Breaking Ground, author Barbara Lesko had this to say about Dorothy Eady:

    She was a great help to Egyptian scholars, especially Hassan and Fakhry, correcting their English and writing English language articles for others. So this poorly educated Englishwoman developed in Egypt into a first rate draughtswoman and prolific and talented writer who, even under her own name, produced articles, essays, monographs and books of great range, wit and substance.

  • She Found Her ‘Home’ In An Egyptian Exhibit on Random Facts About A Young Girl Came Back With Accurate Memories Of Her Past Life In Ancient Egypt

    (#2) She Found Her ‘Home’ In An Egyptian Exhibit

    When she was four-years-old, her parents brought Eady to an exhibition at the British Museum in London, famous for its Egyptian antiquities collection. When she finally saw them, it was the most rapturous moment of her young life. She broke free of her mother’s grip and began running through the museum, kissing the feet of statues, crying in ecstasy, and shouting out “these are my people.” Not unlike the average child having a temper tantrum, when it was time to go home she started to yell and scream, refusing to leave.

    Her parents finally got her home, but the trip to the museum only intensified her feelings about Egypt, and she began have strange dreams that felt impossibly real to her, like memories from a past life. Later on, she found a photograph of the Temple of Seti I, and realized that was the same building she kept dreaming about. Her dreams had begun to take root, and ultimately flowered into the obsession that dominated the rest of her life.

    She was so valued for her insight that she was asked to be in a number of documentaries and films to showcase her expertise. The BBC even filmed and released a documentary about Eady herself - Omm Sety and Her Egypt. And the last documentary she was in, Egypt: Quest for Eternity, was filmed the year of her death, and you can watch it on YouTube here.
