I saw a discovery channel show about Ancient Egypt. One thing I found really interesting is that IMHOTEP was the "Jesus" of his time. And how he was worshipped long after his death as "Jesus" is today.
He is being accredited as to being the first person ever to perform brain surgery. Can you believe that? They say cause of his high "priest" ranking he was able to view and perform all the mumifications....so therefor he got real familiar with the whole body.
anyone else see this? or find this interesting?
reason I wanted to post this...is because most people dont realize that LONG before the modern day b-i-b-l-e was thought of.....Egyptians had Bibles and religions. Like 2-0 said in another Thread.... (black magic)...
The Romans were the ones that eventually killed of the Egyptian empirer. And got rid of their Gods...and religion.
something to discuss....

Imhotep was a genius human that became a true god after his death in about 2600 BC. As chief architect under king Djoser (from the third dynasty) he created the first monumental building in history made of hewn stone: the step pyramid in Sakkara. Few written records come from his own time and his background is not known. (Some say he was the son of Djoser). He was also the prime minister, chief physician, high priest, philosopher and a poet. He was worshipped for 2500 years as the god of medicine when the Greeks and the Romans adop- ted his thoughts and spread it. Considered first child of god Ptah and goddess Nut he brought to man knowledge of healing and medicine.
He protected science and was seen as man dressed in a simple way sitting with his studying material. His tomb has not yet been found, but it is likely to be somewhere in Sakkara.
