1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 More than 5,000 years ago, Egypt gave rise 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000 to the world's first great empire. 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000 And in the 20th century, a mysterious woman named Omseti 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000 helped bring ancient Egypt back to life. 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000 Omseti was one of the most remarkable women 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000 of the 20th century, possibly ever. 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000 She moved modern archeology along enormously. 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000 She claimed to be the reincarnation 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000 of a priestess. 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000 Omseti had an incredible insight into ancient Egypt 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000 in a way which went beyond the norm. 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000 And she astonished archeologists 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000 with her incredible knowledge. 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000 They're fond of saying in Abaddoce 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000 that Omseti was never wrong, 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000 and she was not. 17 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000 But was Omseti being directed by some unseen force, 18 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000 perhaps one of otherworldly origin? 19 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000 She truly believed that she was bringing back 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000 the old age of the gods. 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000 There is a doorway in the universe. 22 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000 Beyond it is the promise of truth. 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000 It demands we question everything we have ever been taught. 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000 The evidence is all around us. 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000 The future is right before our eyes. 26 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000 We are not alone. 27 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000 We have never been alone. 28 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000 Cairo 2021 29 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000 Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities 30 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000 stages the Pharaoh's Golden Parade, 31 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000 a glittering celebration honoring the nation's ancient rulers. 32 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000 The Pharaoh's Golden Parade was a major spectacle. 33 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000 Mummies of ancient Egypt's greatest pharaohs, 34 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000 22 of them, paraded through the capital. 35 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000 All of Egypt is watching, the world's watching, 36 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000 and there's just tremendous excitement. 37 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000 The bodies were paraded through the majestic boulevards of Cairo 38 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000 to a new home, a new palace, a new museum. 39 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Nothing like this had happened since the days of Cleopatra, 40 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000 and the glory of ancient Egypt was rediscovered by the world. 41 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000 The Pharaoh's Golden Parade was intended to revitalize 42 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000 Egypt's tourism industry, 43 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000 and the three-mile procession from the Old Egyptian Museum 44 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000 into Rear Square to the new National Museum 45 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000 seemed to bring a long-forgotten age back to life. 46 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000 In the Western world in the 21st century, 47 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000 people are hungry for connecting with something truly ancient 48 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000 and very powerful. 49 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000 And that's ancient Egypt, 50 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000 and what we're starting to see is a tremendous resurgence 51 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000 and interest in the Egyptian mysteries and the gods. 52 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000 Considered by most historians to be the world's first great 53 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000 empire, ancient Egypt is of enormous significance 54 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000 to the ancient astronaut theory. 55 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 It was a place of colossal structures, 56 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,000 technologies so advanced that they continued to astonish, 57 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000 and a pantheon of gods said to have come from the stars. 58 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000 In ancient Egypt, one of the origin stories says 59 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,000 that a long time ago, a pyramid-shaped stone 60 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000 descended from the sky, 61 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000 out of which the first creator gods emerged 62 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000 and started Egyptian civilization. 63 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000 In fact, they referred to a golden age 64 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000 when the gods still mingled with human beings. 65 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000 In ancient Egypt, it's chalk full of references 66 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000 of celestial beings descending from the sky 67 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000 and imparting knowledge to our ancestors. 68 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Egyptian civilization arose in North Africa 69 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000 around 3100 BC 70 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000 and thrived for 3,000 years 71 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000 before being conquered by the Roman Empire. 72 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000 Over the centuries, many of its monuments, 73 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000 celebrating the gods and pharaohs, 74 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000 were literally overcome by the sands of time. 75 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000 But Egypt came roaring back to the world's attention 76 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000 in the 20th century, thanks in large part 77 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000 to the contributions of one of the most extraordinary 78 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000 and unlikely Egyptologists who ever lived. 79 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000 Dorothy Edie, more commonly known as Omseti. 80 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Omseti had an incredible insight into ancient Egypt 81 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000 in a way which went beyond the norm. 82 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000 She wrote books, she wrote articles. 83 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000 She was one of the most accomplished Egyptologists 84 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000 the world has ever known. 85 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000 And she had no formal training. 86 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000 Personally, I think Omseti was one of the most remarkable women 87 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000 of the 20th century, possibly ever. 88 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Omseti astounded Egyptologists 89 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000 with her ability to accurately predict the location 90 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000 of lost ruins and artifacts, seemingly out of the blue. 91 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Her incredible story includes revelations from a past life, 92 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000 communicating with ancient pharaohs and gods, 93 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000 and ultimately recovering critical pieces of Egypt's lost history. 94 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000 There are many who believe the life of Omseti 95 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000 was guided by a higher power, 96 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000 especially when considering it began with a miracle. 97 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000 London, 1907 98 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000 Three-year-old Dorothy Edie is playing in her family home 99 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000 when she takes a terrible fall down the stairs. 100 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000 When the doctor comes to examine her, 101 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000 she is completely non-responsive, 102 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000 and he soon pronounces her dead. 103 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000 But when the doctor returns to collect her body, 104 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000 he is shocked at what he sees. 105 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000 When he comes back to prepare the body, 106 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000 little Dorothy is sitting up and playing and eating candy. 107 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000 The doctor was certain that little Dorothy had been dead, 108 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000 but here she was, and she was awake and she was great. 109 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000 But while she suffered no lasting injuries from the fall, 110 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000 Dorothy Edie's personality had changed in a way 111 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000 that deeply disturbed her parents. 112 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000 She was like a different girl, 113 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000 and she started talking about going home. 114 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000 I want to go home, and her parents, of course, said, 115 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,000 but you are home, darling. 116 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000 You know, she said, no, I want to go home, not here, home. 117 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000 The following year, a family trip to the British Museum in London 118 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000 gave her parents more cause for concern. 119 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,000 Everything was going normally until they got to the area of the house. 120 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,000 Everything was going normally until they got to the area of the Egyptian rooms. 121 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:29,000 And this little girl ran up to the statues and kissed the feet, 122 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000 and was just out of her mind with joy. 123 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000 Not long after, Dorothy began having recurring visions 124 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000 of a place that would dominate her life for the next 60 years. 125 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000 The Temple of Sedi in the small Egyptian town of Abidos. 126 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Her father brings home an exploration magazine, 127 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,000 and it has photographs of the ruins of the Temple of Sedi at Abidos. 128 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,000 And she sees it all ruined with sand and the roof caved in, 129 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,000 and she starts to cry, because that's her place. 130 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000 And something terrible has happened to it. 131 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000 Here's this little girl saying, not only did I live there, 132 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000 but it looked completely different when I lived there thousands of years ago. 133 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000 Did Dorothy E.D. simply have an extraordinary imagination? 134 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000 Or is it possible, as many researchers suspect, 135 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000 that when she hit her head falling down the stairs, 136 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000 it awakened a memory of a past life? 137 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000 There have actually been many documented cases 138 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000 where someone who has suffered a brain injury or head trauma 139 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000 suddenly has something unlocked within them, 140 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000 and now they can play an instrument that they never learned, 141 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000 or speak a language that they'd never spoken before, 142 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000 or have some sort of skill that seemingly came out of nowhere. 143 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000 It is possible that because of the fall that Dorothy endured, 144 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000 that this is what happened. 145 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000 She had something unlocked in her brain, 146 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000 and all of a sudden she can actually tap into a past life experience. 147 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,000 Reincarnation is defined as the rebirth of a soul into a new body. 148 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000 And from an early age, 149 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000 Dorothy E.D. sensed she had lived a past life in Abidos. 150 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000 While many in the West view reincarnation with skepticism, 151 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000 numerous cultures, both past and present, 152 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000 consider it an integral part of their belief system. 153 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000 And ancient Egypt was no exception. 154 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000 In ancient Egyptian religion, 155 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,000 there was a great emphasis on the next life, the afterlife. 156 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Ancient Egyptians did believe in reincarnation, 157 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000 that the soul appeared many times. 158 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000 Omseti was famous for accessing memories from a past life, 159 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,000 but she herself claimed that much of her knowledge was given to her 160 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000 by figures she encountered in the night, 161 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000 figures that came to her from the distant past, 162 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,000 and some that came from the stars. 163 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000 London 1914 164 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000 At the British Museum, 165 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000 10-year-old Dorothy E.D. is exploring the Egyptian galleries 166 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000 when she catches the eye of one of the world's most prominent Egyptologists, 167 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000 Sir Ernest Wallace Budge. 168 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000 Wallace Budge took her under his wing, 169 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000 and at the time he was it, man, 170 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000 you couldn't get any higher, 171 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000 and all of a sudden this guy is interested in a 10-year-old? 172 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Well, there had to be something there. 173 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000 That was absolutely extraordinary. 174 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000 This tiny child just knew everything. 175 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000 She took to Egyptian hieroglyphics very readily, 176 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000 and sort of almost paranormal swiftly. 177 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000 With over 1,000 distinct characters, 178 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,000 hieroglyphic writing takes modern scholars years to master. 179 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000 Did Dorothy E.D. simply have an unusual aptitude 180 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000 for mastering a complicated writing system? 181 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,000 Or is there another explanation? 182 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Years later, Dorothy would answer that question herself. 183 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000 London, England, 1931 184 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000 At the age of 27, Dorothy E.D. takes a job with a political journal 185 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000 advocating for greater Egyptian independence from Great Britain. 186 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000 The British had had control over Egypt for quite a long time, 187 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000 and there was a semi-independence, but still not independent, 188 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000 so Dorothy was headlong into that. 189 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000 At that time, there was a crazy Egyptian, 190 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000 Egyptian-mania presence around the world. 191 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Dorothy was ahead of them. 192 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000 She was already obsessed with Egypt. 193 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:14,000 She started working at an Egyptian PR relations magazine in London, 194 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000 and that's when she met Iman Abdul-Migid. 195 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000 He was a student at the time. 196 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000 Imam was a young Egyptian man studying to be a teacher, 197 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:34,000 and Iman fell head over heels in love with this energetic, passionate woman. 198 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,000 And when he had to go back to Egypt, he asked her to marry him, 199 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000 and she did. 200 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000 She just went to Cairo. 201 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000 Dorothy and Iman married and moved in with Iman's parents in Cairo. 202 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,000 Not long after, she gave birth to a baby boy and named him Sedi, 203 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,000 after the great pharaoh of the 19th dynasty, Sedi I. 204 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000 In accordance with Egyptian tradition, Dorothy changes her name 205 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,000 to reflect her status as an Egyptian mother. 206 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000 Whoever your firstborn child is, you are the mother of that child. 207 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000 You are Om the mother and then the child's name. 208 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,000 Dorothy Eidi is now Om Sedi, and she spends every moment she can 209 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,000 exploring the archaeological wonders of ancient Egypt. 210 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:41,000 She went all over. She studied everywhere, and she specifically went to Giza plateau a lot. 211 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:48,000 She is obsessed by the pyramid of Giza, and she ended up meeting Salim Hassan. 212 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Salim is a huge person. He's the godfather of Egyptology. 213 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000 He liked her enthusiasm about archaeology. 214 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,000 He was terribly impressed by her. I mean, she was no sort of mad flake. 215 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,000 She knew stuff. She was very handy, and also she offered her services 216 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000 as a proofreader of his writings and as a draftswoman, 217 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000 because she was very good at drawing his finds. 218 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,000 Om Sedi became a pivotal contributor to Hassan's work, 219 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,000 sketching the illustrations of his findings and helping to edit his towering opus, 220 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000 the ten-volume excavations at Giza. 221 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,000 To this day, many Egyptologists consider it to be the most important study of the Giza plateau, 222 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000 which is the home of the great pyramids and the Sphinx. 223 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Ultimately, Om Sedi became so consumed with studying ancient Egypt 224 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000 that it left her no room for her marriage. 225 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:57,000 She sometimes would just spend the night out in one of the tombs, 226 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:05,000 and she would bring her baby. And of course, her husband realized that this just was a marriage that could not work, 227 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,000 and he didn't want his child brought up in that environment. 228 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000 He asked for a divorce. He got custody. 229 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000 Around this same time, in the early 1930s, 230 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000 Om Sedi began to have mysterious encounters at night, 231 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,000 awakening in what she described as a trance-like state, 232 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000 to find a figure in ancient Egyptian garb standing before her. 233 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000 This entity refers to himself as Hora, and he begins to give her information, 234 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000 and he tells her to write it down. 235 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:47,000 She was writing it in a type of cursive hieroglyphic script known as Demotic writing. 236 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000 But in her daily living life, she could not write Demotic. 237 00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:00,000 And this went on for almost a year until she had 70-plus pages of information in this Demotic script. 238 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,000 It wasn't until she sat down with a number of Demotic dictionaries 239 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,000 and went through the manuscript page by page and began to actually translate it, 240 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000 that she ultimately came up with the story that he was telling her. 241 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:25,000 According to Om Sedi's writings, Hora had related the story of Om Sedi's own previous life in ancient Egypt 242 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,000 as a girl named Bentreshit, born in Abidos in 1300 B.C. 243 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000 Eventually, Bentreshit became a priestess of the goddess Isis 244 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:40,000 and got involved in a secret affair with the pharaoh Sedi I. 245 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000 But who was this mysterious messenger called Hora? 246 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000 And what was his reason for telling Om Sedi the story of her past life? 247 00:16:51,000 --> 00:17:01,000 What happened to Om Sedi is actually extremely similar to everything we've learned about close encounters with extraterrestrial beings. 248 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:10,000 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. 249 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Is it possible that Hora was an actual visitor from another time or another world? 250 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:27,000 Soon after Om Sedi learned about her past life in ancient Abidos, she had another nocturnal visitation 251 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:35,000 and was transported back in time to her home and to her former lover, pharaoh Sedi, the first. 252 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:42,000 Om Sedi describes going to Abidos and she also claims to have visited not just that place 253 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000 but the time that she claims to have hailed from in 1300 B.C. over 3,000 years ago. 254 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:56,000 It was very important because it helped her to provide information to modern-day archaeologists who were looking for things. 255 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000 She knew they existed before they were found. 256 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:07,000 The way Dorothy E.D. describes her interaction sounds strikingly similar to modern-era alien abduction phenomena. 257 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,000 She describes this amorphous, shimmering being suddenly appearing before her in a physical form 258 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:24,000 and then takes her to another worldly realm where she's given specific knowledge and then is returned to her room. 259 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:33,000 You have to wonder whether she was perhaps actually taken physically back in time and brought back to the present. 260 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:39,000 So is it possible that the strange entities that were coming to her were extraterrestrials? 261 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:48,000 In Cairo, Om Sedi impressed Egyptologists with her understanding of hieroglyphs and knowledge of the ancient world. 262 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:57,000 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, 263 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000 the sacred city of Abidos. 264 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:14,000 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. 265 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000 Egypt, 1951. 266 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:35,000 After 20 years in Cairo, Om Sedi feels an irresistible urge to move to Abidos, the place she dreamt of as a child, and which she believed was her home in a former life. 267 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:44,000 300 miles south of Cairo, this 5,000-year-old town was once the chief pilgrimage center of ancient Egypt. 268 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:52,000 People came to worship Osiris, the god of the underworld, who brought knowledge to the people of the Nile. 269 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,000 The faithful in a strong tradition may have a pilgrimage site. 270 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000 The Abidos was that for the ancient Egyptians. 271 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Asvaranasi is for the Hindu and India, Jerusalem for the Jews, Mecca for Islam. These places change you. 272 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:18,000 According to Egypt's pyramid texts, the gods Osiris and Isis came to earth from their home in the stars of Orion's Belt. 273 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Is it more than mere coincidence that Om Sedi was drawn to Abidos, the place where Egypt's most important gods were worshiped? 274 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:35,000 Could it be that she was led to this location because it served an important purpose for other worldly visitors? 275 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:46,000 When you look back at ancient Egyptian history and the various stories that the gods came down to educate the Egyptians, 276 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:54,000 who have power and very high-tech means to do things, including building the pyramids and raising obelisks, 277 00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:01,000 moving stones that weigh hundreds of tons, it would seem like they're extraterrestrials. 278 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,000 And so, that Om Sedi was living in Abidos is significant. 279 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:16,000 With decades of experience assisting Egyptologists in Cairo, 47-year-old Om Sedi seeks out Edward Ghazuli, 280 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:22,000 the man in charge of excavating the ruins of the Temple of Sedi I, which is in Shambles. 281 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:29,000 Having heard of Om Sedi's uncanny knowledge, Ghazuli devises a test, 282 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:36,000 asking her to find specific locations and carvings within the Temple that he and his team have just discovered. 283 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,000 Long time no see. 284 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000 Hello, Om Sedi. Don't get up. 285 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:49,000 Om Sedi herself described this test in a 1981 BBC documentary called Om Sedi and Her Egypt. 286 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000 They said they would test me the first time I went in. 287 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,000 They told me where to go. It was a shuttle of almond. 288 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000 So I went right in. 289 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000 They told me to go in front of the scene of the sacred boats. 290 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000 Which I did. 291 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000 Called out. 292 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000 They came and they found me where I was supposed to be. 293 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000 They said, ah, that's just chance. 294 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000 I said, we'll try again. 295 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000 Well, they tried several times. 296 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000 And each time I was in the right place. 297 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:26,000 As if I walked into a place where I had lived before and knew all about it. 298 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,000 Did you recognize anybody from the reliefs? 299 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,000 Om Sedi. The King Sedi. I had known him. 300 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:42,000 The archaeologists on site were astounded by Om Sedi's unexplainable knowledge. 301 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:49,000 But what left them truly stunned was a revelation of a temple garden that no one knew existed. 302 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,000 She asked them, where is this garden that she was very familiar with? 303 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,000 And the archaeologist said, well, there's no garden here. 304 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000 And she said, it's over there. Just go dig. 305 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000 And the head excavator says, we know for a fact there is no garden over there. 306 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,000 And she said, yes, yes, there is. Please, just do it. 307 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,000 And they started digging and they found the garden. 308 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,000 So it's stuff like that. Just speaking right now, I have goosebumps. 309 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Because stuff like that shouldn't happen. 310 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000 Om Sedi remained at the temple for the rest of her life. 311 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,000 Helping to uncover artifacts known to her not only from her past life memories. 312 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:35,000 But also from the visitors she continued to encounter in her dreams. 313 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:44,000 While these dream state encounters were regarded with skepticism in the 20th century, in ancient Egypt, they were not uncommon. 314 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:54,000 One of the key aspects of Om Sedi's story is the dream conduit that she opened up to receive knowledge and also to connect with these other worldly beings. 315 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,000 This is something that's very important to the ancient Egyptians. 316 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:11,000 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. 317 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:20,000 Stories of sleep incubation can be found in the Hebrew Bible, in ancient Greece, and perhaps most commonly in ancient Egypt. 318 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:28,000 There's story after story of people coming, for example, to Sakara, which was a dream incubation center. 319 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:37,000 People would come to Sakara, go into a dream, and have an experience with the God-patah or a healing entity, and be cured of whatever that Malaidi was. 320 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,000 Going back to Pharaoh Sedi I, he depended upon dreams. 321 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:51,000 He had a dream that informed him where to dig to find what was already ancient, Assyrium. 322 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:59,000 So it was not unknown for the ancient Egyptians to use dreams in a very practical way. 323 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:12,000 According to Om Sedi, after she moved to Amidos, Pharaoh Sedi, who had been visiting her in the night, began to appear to her even when she was not asleep or in a meditative state. 324 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:21,000 People would allegedly see him in her room as a physical person. 325 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:30,000 So how could this be? Is he an extraterrestrial who is able to travel through different dimensions and through different times? 326 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:42,000 If the figure that appeared to Om Sedi as the Pharaoh Sedi was an extraterrestrial, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, what was his agenda? 327 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:50,000 Perhaps further clues can be found by taking a closer look at the life of this mysterious Pharaoh. 328 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000 Thebes, Egypt. 329 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000 1290 BC. 330 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:12,000 The elderly king Ramses I passes away after a reign of just 16 months, and his son Sedi is announced as the new Pharaoh. 331 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:21,000 Egypt is in a period of chaos, and Pharaoh Sedi believes the only way to save it is to restore the power of the old gods. 332 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:39,000 Pharaoh Sedi is one of the most important characters in Egyptian history, and one of Sedi'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. 333 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:54,000 One of the things that he does as part of that restoration of the old ways to the multiple gods is go to Abidus, build the temple up there with lots of different side temples that are there to worship these different gods and goddesses. 334 00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:05,000 In Abidus, Sedi built one of the most magnificent temples in all of Egypt, containing seven chapels dedicated to different gods. 335 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:16,000 But when Omsedi arrived in Abidus in 1951, the great temple she claimed to have known in her past life was all but gone. 336 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:27,000 There was around 2,500 pieces of the temple scattered everywhere, and Ghazuli and others had no idea how to fit these pieces back together. 337 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:36,000 But Omsedi, 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. 338 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:54,000 This was an incredibly daunting task, but she started each day with unbridled passion and enthusiasm, and Abidus was reconstructed according to Omsedi's instructions. 339 00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:09,000 She solves the amazing jigsaw puzzle of putting together these 2,500 pieces and restoring the temple of Abidus in two and a half years, which is absolutely impossible without her extraordinary understanding of the temple. 340 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,000 It would have taken 20 years for anybody else to do the work that she did in two and a half years. 341 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:23,000 According to Omsedi, restoring the temple at Abidus was about much more than just resurrecting the past. 342 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:31,000 To her closest friends, she confided that this ancient structure served an extraordinary purpose. 343 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:43,000 Omsedi would actually state that the temple of Abidus served as a star gate of sorts, a place where you were able to jump in and out of time and space. 344 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000 A star gate? 345 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:54,000 Could the temple of Abidus have acted as a portal to other points in the universe? 346 00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:02,000 According to ancient astronaut theorists, a feature inside the temple supports this sensational claim. 347 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:09,000 They point to a bell-shaped object painted on a chapel wall that some refer to as the Osiris device. 348 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,000 When we look at this symbol through modern eyes, it's highly technological. 349 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,000 To the eyes of a physicist or an engineer, it looks like a Tesla coil. 350 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:26,000 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? 351 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:35,000 The Tesla coil was designed in the late 1800s by inventor Nikola Tesla as a way to wirelessly transmit electricity. 352 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:44,000 But ancient astronaut theorists suggest there is a far more advanced technology depicted on the opposite wall of the chapel. 353 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:55,000 On the opposite wall, we see the same device, but now it's attached to what is called the Nishemet barge of Osiris, his resurrection barge. 354 00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:07,000 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. 355 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:17,000 The power of Abidus is something that we're still only beginning to understand. It's such a profoundly mysterious place. 356 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:26,000 Is it possible that by reconstructing the temple at Abidus, Omseti was restoring an ancient stargate? 357 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:33,000 And if so, was she being directed by other worldly beings that have the power to activate it? 358 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,000 By the 1970s, Omseti had become famous beyond the world of Egyptology. 359 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:49,000 She was toasted by luminaries like Carl Sagan and became the subject of several books and documentaries. 360 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,000 Omseti means mother of Seti, because I have a son named Seti. 361 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,000 Hoping he'd turn out like the king, of course he didn't. 362 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:10,000 In a 1981 BBC documentary, 76-year-old Omseti visits the temple in Abidus with British Egyptologist Dr. Rosalie David. 363 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,000 Due to a hip injury, she hasn't been inside the temple in almost a year. 364 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000 How do you feel now you've arrived back to so many months? 365 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,000 Oh, I feel marvelous. 366 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000 What are your feelings about it? 367 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,000 I'm describable. 368 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:37,000 The temple, which she was integral in rebuilding, honors not just one Egyptian god, but seven. 369 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:44,000 And Omseti had an incredible theory as to why it was considered the most sacred site in ancient Egypt. 370 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:51,000 People coming from all over Egypt, you see, would find their local important god worship. 371 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,000 Yes. 372 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:59,000 It may be that the gods themselves were coming to Abidus on pilgrimage to Aziris. 373 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,000 I was beginning to think I'd never see it again in this life. 374 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,000 Yes. 375 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,000 See it in the next one. 376 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:14,000 Could it be true that this extraordinary woman was connected to the gods of ancient Egypt? 377 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,000 Gods that were perhaps extraterrestrials. 378 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:26,000 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer is a resounding yes. 379 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:36,000 And they suggest the proof may soon be found by investigating a prophecy she made about the tomb of King Tut. 380 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:46,000 Over the course of her lifetime, Omseti made countless predictions that were proven to be true. 381 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:52,000 But perhaps her most significant was one that has yet to be verified. 382 00:32:53,000 --> 00:33:05,000 In 1970, she claimed that Feroceti had given her important information about the location of the lost mummy of an 18th dynasty queen named Nefertiti. 383 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,000 Nefertiti's tomb has become the new obsession of the 21st century. 384 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000 Everyone wants to find Nefertiti's tomb. 385 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,000 Now here's the truth. 386 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:22,000 In Amarna, in the city of ruins, there is a tomb for Nefertiti there. 387 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000 But her mummy was never found there. 388 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:35,000 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, recovering this mummy could be the most significant archaeological find in human history. 389 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,000 Because they believe Nefertiti was very likely none of this world. 390 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000 Nefertiti's parents are unknown. 391 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,000 On pictures, she's shown with one of these elongated heads. 392 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:56,000 Now we know the old Egyptian gods, they had longer heads than we have. 393 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:02,000 And according to the pyramid texts, sometimes they left the earth. 394 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,000 So Nefertiti's parents were maybe extraterrestrials. 395 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:17,000 This sensational claim applies not only to Nefertiti, but also to her husband, the pharaoh, Akhenaten. 396 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:32,000 During his rule, Akhenaten introduced a new and controversial monotheistic faith to Egypt, where the worship of multiple gods was replaced with reference to only one disk-shaped sun god called Akhenaten. 397 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:40,000 Akhenaten is worshiping this sun disk up in the sky and he actually communicates with it. 398 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,000 He said he spoke with a disk and it also had wings. 399 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:51,000 So the idea is that we have misunderstood technology here. 400 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,000 And Akhenaten in the ancient astronaut opinion may have been an extraterrestrial. 401 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:06,000 Some Egyptologists believe that a mummy found in a vandalized tomb in the valley of the kings is in fact Akhenaten. 402 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,000 While others say the remains of the controversial pharaoh are still missing. 403 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,000 But locating Nefertiti's mummy may be well within reach. 404 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000 Thanks to Omseti. 405 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:28,000 One amazing idea that Omseti has left us that is still yet to be fulfilled involves the tomb of the queen Nefertiti. 406 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:41,000 During a conversation with Pharaoh Setti, he told her that Nefertiti's tomb is nearby Tutankhamun's tomb in a place that no one would think to look. 407 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:51,000 Tutankhamun, better known as King Tut, was the son of Akhenaten by another wife making Nefertiti his stepmother. 408 00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:00,000 But when the tomb of King Tut was discovered roughly a century ago, the entire area around it was thoroughly excavated. 409 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,000 So how could Nefertiti's mummy be somewhere nearby? 410 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:21,000 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. 411 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:30,000 Incredibly, 35 years after Omseti suggested that the mummy of Nefertiti was hidden near King Tut's tomb. 412 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,000 Evidence was discovered that this tomb may contain a secret chamber. 413 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:47,000 In 2005, the British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves, he noticed that there were some cracks in the walls. 414 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:57,000 And on further examination, he came to the conclusion that these could possibly be that of a doorway into a separate chamber. 415 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:07,000 And since that time, there has been radar done inside the tomb, which definitely seems to confirm that there is some kind of chamber. 416 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,000 And is it possible, therefore, that this could be the tomb of Nefertiti? 417 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:22,000 Archaeologists are still debating how to enter the hidden chamber without causing severe damage to King Tut's tomb. 418 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:36,000 But King Tut's tomb, once they do, will they discover that Omseti was correct and that her amazing life didn't just connect us to ancient Egypt, but to our ancestors in the stars? 419 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:45,000 Nefertiti's tomb is potentially very special because Nefertiti may have had the secrets of the whole Akinata lineage. 420 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:54,000 Did she have an elongated skull herself? I think finding her tomb could answer a lot of unanswered questions in ancient Egypt. 421 00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:01,000 Throughout her life, Omseti made numerous predictions that years later were proven to be true. 422 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:09,000 And according to ancient astronaut theorists, she may well have been facilitating an alien agenda. 423 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,000 One whose purpose is soon to be revealed. 424 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:31,000 On April 21st, 1981, Dorothy Edie, now famously known as Omseti, dies in Abidos at the age of 77. 425 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:45,000 Offer many contributions to Egyptology. The reconstruction of the Temple of Seti I stands as her greatest accomplishment, attracting millions of tourists every year. 426 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:52,000 Because of Omseti, Abidos is one of the most important places in ancient Egypt. 427 00:38:53,000 --> 00:39:02,000 The Seti Temple is an absolutely fascinating temple. It's got beautiful carvings and pillars and wall inscriptions. 428 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:13,000 It has the famous Kings List on it, which is really interesting because this really describes kings going back thousands of years. 429 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:28,000 While many consider the Temple of Seti in Abidos to be the most sacred site in Egypt, for ancient astronaut theorists, it may represent something even more profound. 430 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:37,000 Could this ancient structure have once been capable of opening a portal to other parts of the universe, as Omseti claimed? 431 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:44,000 And was her work in Egypt the fulfillment of an otherworldly agenda? 432 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:54,000 Omseti's story has meaning on many levels. It's a spiritual story, as a reincarnation story, as an archeological story. 433 00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:04,000 But most importantly to me, it says that we can open portals between our earthly material world and the immaterial realm of the gods. 434 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,000 That's the realm of the extraterrestrials. 435 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:19,000 There's something so special about Omseti because she makes all of these ideas, interdimensional realities, time travel, connections with otherworldly beings. 436 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,000 She makes all of these things real. 437 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:37,000 Her predictions came true. And Omseti really influenced and inspired generations of people who wanted to get deeper into an understanding of Egyptology. 438 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:48,000 When it came to being a woman of service to Egyptology, she was all seriousness and science. 439 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:55,000 But the esoteric part, the parallel consciousness, that was there too. 440 00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:03,000 And I have no way of proving that she didn't experience this. And there are so many reasons to think she did. 441 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:11,000 Omseti is one of the most enduring, mysterious stories in the history of humankind. 442 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:19,000 Because even the Egyptologists say that she had something that nobody else had. 443 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:28,000 So is it possible that maybe she tuned into a direct channel of ancient Egypt? 444 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,000 I think the answer to that is yes. 445 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,000 Some believe that Omseti's story is not yet complete. 446 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:46,000 Is it possible that her life's work was to help prepare for the return of Egypt's ancient gods? 447 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:54,000 Perhaps like Dorothy E.D., humankind is about to awaken to an entirely new reality 448 00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:04,000 and find that the key to unlocking our future in the stars can be found deep in our own extraterrestrial past.
