Imhotep, a magician-physician, sage and architect for King Zoser (2630-2611B.C.), and the architect of the great step pyramid at Saqqara, was also revered for his medical skills. This book examines his life, the history of medicine in Egypt, and his subsequent deification by the Ptolemaic period into Imohtep, son of Ptah.
