If you believe in past lives and reincarnation, Dorothy Eada's story will surely captivate you. Dorothy Eady, also known as "Om Seti" or "Omm Sets," was a cartoonist at the Egyptian Monuments Authority. She became famous for her contribution to Egyptology and her research work in Abydos attracted considerable attention from the professional and lay public. However, in addition to her professional achievements, she is famous mainly for believing that she was an Egyptian priestess in her past life. Her life and work have been captured in many documentaries, articles and biographies. The truth is that the New York Times called her story "one of the most interesting and compelling cases of reincarnation recorded in the Western world today."

Pharaoh Seti I.

Dorothy Eady, who was born into an Irish lower-middle-class family in London, was raised as Christian. After suffering an accident as a small child, she began to show strange behavior was contrary to her religion.

Dorothy Eady was born in Blackheath, London in 1904 to Reuben Ernest Eady and Caroline Mary Eady. She was an only child and her father was a master tailor. When she was three years old, she fell down the stairs and the doctors feared that she would not survive. However, this accident revealed a remarkable mystery that changed her life.

Soon after the accident, Dorothy Eady began to behave strangely. She showed signs of foreign accent syndrome and kept talking about "returning home." Needless to say, changes in her behavior have caused a number of problems in her life. For example, she was expelled from religion classes after comparing Christianity to the religion of ancient Egypt. She was also expelled from school when she refused to sing a hymn, the text of which contained a curse on the dark-skinned Egyptians. She even stopped attending Catholic Mass.

Thanks to an accidental visit to the British Museum, Eady saw. She recognized that her home was Egypt and she also remembered other details from her past life.

One day her parents took her to the British Museum. As she walked through the museum, she entered a room containing an exhibition dedicated to the New Kingdom temple and noticed a photograph of the temple of Pharaoh Seti I. She exclaimed excitedly, "There is my home!" or gardens. She ran around the room, looking at the artifacts and kissing the feet of the statues. She felt like she was among her people. After this first visit, she went to the museum often and also met EA Wallis Budge, a well-known Egyptologist and philologist. Captivated by her interest in the country, he suggested that she study the hieroglyphs and history of Egypt. During World War I, she moved to Sussex, where she lived with her grandmother. There she continued her studies of ancient Egypt at the Public Library in Eastbourne.

Thanks to a series of dreams, Dorothy Eady "remembered" the tragic story of her past Egyptian life priestess.

When Dorothy Eady was 15, the ghost of Hor-Ra visited her in her dreams and helped her remember her past life for 12 months. She claimed that before she was born Dorothy Eady, she was an Egyptian woman named Bentreshit. She came from a humble family and her father was a soldier who served during the reign of Seti I. Her mother, who sold vegetables, died when she was only three years old. Bentrešit's father, who could not take care of her, placed her in the Kom el-Sultan temple. So she was raised in a temple, where she later became a priestess. When she was 12, Bentreshit was given two options - either to go out into the world or to become a consecrated virgin and stay in the temple. Not very understanding what it meant, and also because she had no other reasonable option, Bentreshi decided to take the vow of purity. A few years later, she met Pharaoh Seti I and eventually became lovers.

When she became pregnant with Pharaoh, she had no choice but to tell the high priest about her relationship with Seti I. After hearing her, the high priest told her that her sin against Isis was so serious that she would probably be sentenced to death. Bentrešit, who did not want to expose her beloved to public outrage, decided to commit suicide so that she would not have to stand trial.

When Dorothy Eady was 27, she joined the Egyptian PR magazine. She met during her work an Egyptian student named Eman Abdel Meguid, whom she later married.

Dorothy Eady drew pictures and wrote articles for an Egyptian PR magazine. Through her work in London society, she has shown political support for Egypt's independence. During this time, she met Egyptian student Eman Abdel Meguid. They fell in love and stayed in touch even after Meguid returned home. In 1931, Meguid, who had become an English teacher, asked her to marry her. Eady accepted the proposal and moved to Egypt with her new husband. Upon arrival, she kissed the ground and declared that she had finally returned home. Eady and Meguid had a son named Seta.

However, Eady divorced Meguid in 1935. She got a job at the Office for Monuments and she moved to Nazlat al-Samman.

After separating from her husband, Eady met the Egyptian archaeologist Selim Hassan, who worked at the Monuments Office. He hired her as a technical draftsman and secretary. As the department's first female employee, Eady has moved significantly in her career. Being a native English speaker, she was a great asset to the office. She wrote essays, articles and monographs. In his masterpiece Archaeological Research in Giza, Hassan specifically mentioned her and thanked her for helping him with important parts of his work, such as drawing, editing, proofreading, and indexing. During this time, she met and befriended many important Egyptologists, thanks to whom she gained valuable knowledge about archeology. In return, she provided them with her expertise in drawing and hieroglyphs. After Selim Hassan died, she was received by Ahmed Fakhry, who was excavating in Dahshur at the time.

Temple of Seti I in Abydos

Dorothy Eady moved to Abydos at the age of 52. She has collaborated with many Egyptologists and she published her own books.

After living in Cairo for 19 years, Dorothy Eady moved to Abydos and had a house built near Mount Pega-the-Gap. During this time, she became known as "Omm Sety," meaning "Sety's mother." She has also collaborated with many prominent Egyptologists who have benefited from her deep knowledge and understanding of the country. She has also published several books and worked with other scientists. The focus of her research was, of course, the temple of Seti I, located in Abydos. She also helped discover the garden, which she said she had met the pharaoh in.

Dorothy Eady died in 1981 at the age of 77 and was buried near the Coptic Cemetery in Abydos, but her life story and legacy are still alive today.
