Best Answer

He was the world's first named architect who built Egypt's first pyramid, is often recognized as the world's first doctor, a priest,. scribe, sage, poet, astrologer, and a vizier and chief minister, though this role is unclear, to Djoser (reigned 2630�2611 BC), the second king of Egypt's third dynasty. He may have lived under as many as four kings. An inscription on one of that kings statues gives us Imhotep's titles as the "chancellor of the king of lower Egypt", the "first one under the king", the "administrator of the great mansion", the "hereditary Noble", the "high priest of Heliopolis", the "chief sculptor", and finally the "chief carpenter"

I believe it is spelled IMHOTEP. (2667-2648 B.C.) Egyptian architect, scribe, counselor, physician, and astronomer.One of the few nonroyal persons to be deified, over the centuries Imhotep was worshiped as a god of wisdom and medicine after he died. His tomb was never found. His is considerated to be the first scientist/philosopher by some.
