Imhotep is the Egyptian genius engineer who built the pyramid of King Djoser – the first king of the third family – five thousand years ago, and he is the first architect in the history of mankind to build a pillar and a stone ceiling, and therefore I always call him the father of the architectural revolution in the world and there are two seasons between the revolutions of Tameer and Aden and others that burn and destroy . Before the birth of Imhotep, ancient Egyptian architecture used mudbrick and vegetable roofs, that is, made from palm trunks and clay reinforced woven sticks. At the hands of Imhotep, clay architecture turned into stone architecture, especially in funerary buildings such as building pyramids and cemeteries, as well as religious buildings such as the main temples in cities and ancient Egyptian provinces and some civil buildings, especially the building of dams. The engineering capabilities of Imhotep enabled him to be chosen by King Djoser to build the first stone pyramid in history.
Imhotep was born in the town of “Ankh Tawi”, on the outskirts of the city of Memphis, around the year 3000 BC, and his father, Ka-Nofer, was an architect and his mother, Mrs. Khardu-Ankh, and historians say that he was born on the sixteenth day of the month of “Epiphi” and he The third month of the harvest, “Shomu” Imhotep lived a life full of different activities, as he was one of his positions: 1- Minister in the era of King Djoser 2- Doctor 3- Architect 4- Wise and writer 5- A high priest and chief chancellor
Imhotep later became a god of healing or as a god of medicine, and he has a temple in Saqqara in the name of the temple of Imhotep that you can view with Cairo Top Tours, and it became a sanctuary visited by patients from all over the earth, where many news spread about him succeeding in healing many diseases and successful drugs that he invented His reputation remained widespread, as several buildings were devoted to him in many temples in Thebes, in the temples of Karnak, Deir el-Bahri, Deir el-Medina and Philae Island, and Ptolemy the Fifth also built a temple for him.
