Omm Seti healed
people in the village
from spells she
interpreted from the
temple walls
They have a secret affair but she falls pregnant. The
High Priest beats her in order to find out who the
father is and have him put to death. To save him she
kills herself with a dagger in her heart. When Sety I
discovers this he is so heartbroken he does not visit
the temple again.
Fast forward 3000 years Sety I starts to appear in
Dorothy's bedroom. Her marriage fails so she
pitches a tent in the excavations with her baby. She
proves very useful to the Egyptians as she can
interpret the glyphs and is called Omm Sety, or
mother of Sety. She is offered a salaried job in a
library or a pittance working in Abydos Temple. She
accepts the post in Abydos of course, leaving her
son with his father. At this time (1956), Abydos
temple is still half buried but she knows it
backwards. There were 2500 temple walls to be
reconstructed which would have taken +20 years to
reassemble but Omm Sety did it in less than 3 years.
She healed people in the village from spells she
interpreted from the temple walls.
Sety I visits her at night, materialising in the flesh
and they have a physical relationship. He always
leaves before dawn. He calls her Bentreshy. This
relationship continues until her death in 1981 –
although now platonic - he sees her as the beautiful
temple priestess he is still deeply in love with even
though she is now an old woman. He says he is able
to do this from magic he learnt from his carnation as
Sety I.
