The Search for Omm Sety: Reincarnation and Eternal Love
by Johnathan Cott
- Used
- Hardcover
- first
Probably one of the most interesting books available to the scholar of ancient Egypt, who is also interested in some of the more mystical aspects of life.
This is the story of Margeret Eady, who became known as Omm Sety. She was, she claimed a reincarnated priestess from the temple of Abydos, who fell in love with king Sety 1 and later passed very young.
An interesting tale and sure to move even the most cynical who strive to know more about reincarnation.

Artist: Kuniteru II (1829 - 1874)Title: "The First Steam Train in Japan".
Date:1872.
Medium: Colour woodblock print on washi paper.
Notes: This 2-4-0 tank engine was the one that started the railway age in Japan. It was one of a group of ten locomotives built by various manufacturers in Great Britain to work Japan's first railway opened between Shimbashi (Tokyo) and Yokohama in 1871. It was built by the Vulcan Foundry of Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, and still survives today in the Japanese railway museum. This woodblock print portrays it as it appeared when it first ran. It is widely believed that the Imperial Japanese Government Railways used a livery of light brown or golden ochre for its locomotives imported from Britain.
Japanese artists, including Hiroshige, were fascinated by this technological marvel and Kuniteru II produced several woodblock prints of this momentous event in Japan's history.
Condition: The print is in fair/good condition. The paper has darkened over the years, there are… Read More
