The Ancient Black Scholar Worshipped by the Greeks and Romans: Imhotep

This is a captivating story about the Great Imhotep of ancient Egypt. Ever wondered who the real father of medicine is? Well, he is not Hippocrates - the very person most physicians swear an oath to. He was the master architect of the greatest man-made structures in the ancient world – the Giza pyramid.
How did a mere mortal become a god in ancient Egypt?
Imhotep stands as a towering figure in the annals of history, renowned for his profound impact on science.

He emerges as the earliest known scholar, predating the recorded histories of other world civilizations. Born around 2770 BC, Imhotep hailed from Men Nafoore, a city the Greeks later named Memphis. He was one of nine children in his family, son to the architect Khanofer and Khreduankh. His name, ii-m-hotep, translates to 'he comes in peace.'
