In the 1999 movie “The Mummy”, an Egyptian priest named Imhotep was introduced to unsuspecting movie watchers as his transmogrification into a God was almost completed save for the heroics of an American mercenary played by Brendan Frasier. The truth of Imhotep’s real life is more fascinating than the movie script reveals.
Imhotep lived between 3000 and 2000 years before Christ and is known by some as the “Father of Medicine”
His most important achievment in my mind is his creation of building in stone. He was the first architect to use cut stone in a step pattern to build a pryamid.
