I'm sure you've heard the idea that humans only use 10% of our brains.

Well, I'm here to tell you, I fell for that stat too.

And it's actually scientifically false, y'all.

We use most of our brains pretty much all the time.

Even when we're doing the most mundane task like

resting or sleeping or eating. What we don't know that much about is memory. For example, we still

don't fully understand where and how long-term memories are stored in the brain.

We don't totally get how our brains are capable of keeping so much information.

And we don't completely know why we forget certain details of our lives.

But what if there was a way to sort of knock old memories loose?

Would you try it?

And what if that meant coming so close to death in order to make it happen?

This is what unintentionally happened to a little girl named Dorothy Edie in the early 1900s.

After taking an ugly fall and being pronounced dead, she came back to life with a whole bunch of memories she never had before.

But they didn't come from this life. They came from one she lived

back in ancient Egypt. Dorothy, who came to be known as Om Setti, had an uncanny knowledge

about this period of time, knowledge that could only come from someone who experienced it

firsthand.

And because of that, she dedicated her entire life to archaeology

and opened a window into humanity's past.
