Ok. Why Imhotep?
Imhotep was a genius of his time. A guy who performed “miracles” of knowledge.
I was a commoner. But his genius was such that he was raised to the status of god by people.
I heard that after coming across several Egyptian scripts, scholars used to think that Imhotep was one of many mythical gods of Egyptians. They were surprised when they found out that Imhotep actually was a man.
He mastered the process of mummification, and with this experience learned a lot of human anatomy. He used to perform surgery too.
He is attributed to the construction of first pyramids as well.
Egypt: Imhotep, Doctor, Architect, High Priest, Scribe and Vizier to King Djoser
He was the world’s first named architect who built Egypt’s first pyramid, is often recognized as the world’s first doctor, a priest,. scribe, sage, poet, astrologer, and a vizier and chief minister, though this role is unclear, to Djoser (reigned 2630–2611 BC)
Imhotep is so famous even today that some people think that he and Joseph of Bible are actually the same person.
Were Joseph and Imhotep of Egypt The Same Man?
I am very impressed with what this guy achieved in those times. He is an inspiration.
