Imhotep (2686-2613 bc) 'The first Engineer'

Imhotep, reputed to be the first engineer, was originally a high functionary of Pharaoh Zoser. He is renowned for his engineering expertise. He invented the technique of building with hewn stone
rather than the mud bricks previously used and erected the first great building-the step pyramid at Šaqqarah.

Yet, his genius was not merely confined to great feats of engineering, he also:

    • brought about a standardisation in measurement of length, weight and time
    • developed the first effective bureaucracy, in order to administer this and other construction projects and deal with affairs of state
    • brought science into medicine becoming the first physician,
    • was widely regarded as an astrologer
    • became one of the gods of wisdom

Yes, we do know that in the film 'The Mummy' Imhotep was portrayed as a baddy. It isn't true- he was an all-round good guy, honest! We are thinking of suing the film company for bringing the name Imhotep into disrepute.
