Imhotep
Egyptian polymath, later revered as a god
Summary
Updated 2026-05-29
Imhotep built the step pyramid for King Djoser around 2670 BCE and somehow turned that into godhood—three millennia of mythmaking transformed a real administrator into an actual deity.
Biography
About
Imhotep was an Egyptian chancellor to the King Djoser, possible architect of Djoser's step pyramid, and high priest of the sun god Ra at Heliopolis. Very little is known of Imhotep as a historical figure, but in the 3,000 years following his death, he was gradually glorified and deified.
