Dorothy Louise Eady (alias Om Seti or Omm Sety) (1904-1981)[1] was an Englishwoman who believed she was a reincarnated resident of Ancient Egypt, a priestess and servant at the court of Seti I named Bentreshyt.[2]
Her belief began after she recovered from a fall when she was three years old, having been so seriously injured she was declared dead. A family trip to the British Museum confirmed her belief. At the Museum, E. A. W. Budge taught her to read hieroglyphs and she avidly studied Egyptology until 1930 when she married an Egyptian citizen and moved to Egypt. She had one child, Seti, and she began calling herself "Om Seti" or mother of Seti.
She lived in Abydos from 1954, continuing her studies of egyptology and working with Egyptologists Selim Hassan and Ahmed Fakhry as the first female employee of the Egyptian Antiquities Service. She worked as an archaeological research assistant for nearly 20 years.
She is buried in the desert near Shunet el-Zebib. Aside from her own publications, she has been the subject of numerous books.
