Comments (Meaning / History Only)

"Imhotep" is a name which means "He who comes in peace." He is considered by many historians as the world's first multi-genius. He was revered in the ancient world as a poet, philosopher, physician, and astronomer. But he is best remembered as the creator of the first pyramid, the step pyramid, which after 4,700 years still stands near the Nile River at a town called Saqqara.
The explanation of the name Imhotep claims that Djoser's step pyramid, which was probably designed by his famous architect Imhotep, was built at Memphis. This is not true; Djoser's step pyramid is located at Saqqara!
