This sounds like the beginning of a mummy reincarnation movie.

Years ago I saw a TV show where people who claimed to have lived before attended a party in their original dress. When interviewed, all of them claimed to be related to some king or other royalty. None ever claimed to have been a serf/peon/helot in their former life.

I always wonder where, under deep hypnosis (Bridie Murphy) where people claimed to have lived in olden times, if the hypnotist ever asked what the price of food, or a donkey was in their time - or write in their language, if literate (a stretch) or name the current ruler. I bet that would trip up a lot of ‘em.
