It was a well-earned praise, this passage from a New Kingdom text. By 600 B.C., Imhotep--architecture and chief minister of King Djoser--had become a demigod.... Greece and Rome saw in him their god of healing until Christianity swept him away." --I.E.S. Edwards WORKS ABOUT IMHOTEP Cormack, Mariabelle. Imhotep, Builder in Stone. New York: F. Watts, 1965.
