Imhotep was a very rare god in Egypt, and in fact, he was a real historical figure (unlike the pharaoh who claimed to be a god). He was a genius. He was one of the most influential pharaohs of the Third Dynasty - Visir of King Zuo Sai (a powerful official beside ancient pharaohs who helped manage the country and handle family affairs, equivalent to a prime minister). He managed his own territory very well and diligently assisted the pharaoh in politics. Imhotep was also a priest, writer, doctor, and founder of Egyptian astronomy and architecture.

Imhotep's background was not prominent, and at first he was just a small official. However, he possessed profound knowledge and astonishing wisdom, creating many miracles for his era. At that time, the King of Zuo Sai longed for talents and was good at discovering them. He was very enthusiastic about architecture, so Imhotep, who had architectural talent, seized this opportunity and step by step stepped onto the center of power. Eventually, he achieved positions such as Visir, chief architect, chief priest, and minister of agriculture, ranking second only to the king.
Imhotep's fame is largely due to his design and construction of Djoser's stepped pyramid in Segara (near Memphis). This stepped pyramid is the first building constructed entirely of stone by humans. The six steps of the pyramid designed by Imhotep suggest that sunlight shines on the tomb, gathering the soul of the king, and integrating with the sacred sun. He pioneered the path of the Egyptians to the pyramids and was a remarkable genius in architecture, having a significant impact in the history of world architecture. He is widely known as the God of Wisdom, and his reputation in history is even greater than that of King Zuo Sai.
At the same time, Imhotep also designed sacrificial rituals.
At the same time, he also pioneered the practice of extracting the organs of the deceased before making a mummy.

By the time Egypt moved its capital to Sais at the end of the dynasty, Imhotep had already been completely deified, and he was known as the son of the god Ptah. His mother was either Nut or Sekhmet. The miraculous healing of people is often considered his gift, and the Greeks also consider him like Asclepius (the god of medicine). He is often compared to the god Thotho, becoming the god of Egyptian medicine and the embodiment of wisdom. During the Ptolemaic dynasty, a temple dedicated to Imhotep was built on the island of Philae.

In terms of artistic expression, Imhotep is portrayed as a beardless priest holding a roll of papyrus in his hand. He undoubtedly became the representative of the priests.

The main reason why Imhotep is famous around the world is that he designed and built the oldest stepped pyramid in Egypt in Sakara. After the death of former kings of Josel, they were all buried in huge rectangular mounds made of mud bricks. The difference between the king and his subordinate tombs was only in size and layout. How to truly reflect the majesty of the king, Imhotep has put a lot of thought into it. He wants to build a unique and immortal tomb in order to highlight the king's towering presence. So, he constantly modified the architectural design of Josel's tomb, and finally formed a gradually shrinking 6-story pyramid.
The pyramid designed by Imhotep was the first building constructed entirely of stone by humans, and was a pioneer in true pyramid architecture. He gave up using lightweight building materials such as bricks and wood and invented the method of using stones to build tombs for the king. Imhotep initially designed and built a square tomb in Sakara, half underground and half on the ground. Pharaoh Josel felt that it was not dignified and majestic enough, so Imhotep added five square buildings with one story less than one story on top and wrapped them in limestone, forming the initial hierarchical pyramid shape with a tower height of 61.2 meters, a bottom length of 123.3 meters from east to west, and a length of 107.4 meters from north to south. This is also the first surviving pyramid in Egyptian history. [1] In such a tomb, the soul of the deceased king rises upwards and reaches the celestial realm of the sun and sky. At the bottom of the pyramid is the king's tomb, surrounded by many passages connecting the various parts. On the walls of the corridor, beautiful and spectacular images are carved, adding to the mystery and solemnity of the pyramid. The buttresses of columns first appeared in buildings, making the completed objects appear beautiful and pleasing to the eye. They were not only appreciated by people at that time, but are still allowed today.
The six steps of the pyramid designed by Imhotep imply that the petrified sunlight shines on the tomb, aggregating the soul of the king and integrating with the sacred sun. From then on, the king's tomb became a symbol of the pharaoh's sacred power. It is the continuation of the life and great power of the king after his death, and in the eyes of the Egyptians, this continuation can bring benefits to the entire Egypt. Imhotep pioneered the path of the Egyptians to the pyramids and was a remarkable genius in architecture, having a significant impact in the history of world architecture. He is widely known as the God of Wisdom, and his reputation in history is even greater than that of Josel.

The talented Imhotep is also a very talented doctor. When he was treating various diseases, he not only relied on medication for treatment, but also paid attention to the use of witchcraft, such as reciting spells, making special treatment postures, and using exorcism suits or other exorcism tools to improve the effectiveness of "exorcism". This treatment played an invisible role in psychotherapy for Egelands who believed that the disease was caused by demons at the time, increasing the patient's psychological composure and confidence in overcoming the disease. He also used the methods of daydreaming and interpreting dreams to treat people who suffered from illness and suffering, and was regarded as a common doctor for both humans and gods. But he uses magic very appropriately. In order to help talents use it, he is concerned with knowledge, science, and the "magic" that can be used to help people improve their confidence. He insists that only practical application of knowledge can reflect its true value, and that knowledge should be used to benefit the public.
