Imhotep The African: Architect of the Cosmos

Once again we have been treated to a thoroughly intriguing insight into ancient Egypt. The contention that Imhotep may have been descended from a black African nation is intriguing. Until his tomb is found and DNA tests are performed on his remains, any hypothesis regarding his ethnicity is possible. Robert Bauval, this time in partnership with Thomas Brophy, has produced another thought provoking book. Thank you Robert and Thomas for a brilliant read.

Very wonderful and informative book, and I do encourage anyone care for the African gagged history to read this book.

Despite the title of the book there is little specific detail about Imhotep. Instead there is much about the science linked to the design of the Step Pyramid and complex at Saqqara. There is coverage of the archaeological site at Nabta Playa (in the Egyptian Sahara) with its link to the later dynastic period as well as the origins of the ancient Egyptians. Overall this is an intriguing insight into the science of the early Egyptians and their origins. Saying that I was a little disappointed to find that much of the book did focus on topics already covered in the previous book, "Black Genesis".

Love it.

A well written book, love the idea of Imhotep coming from a fairly normal family. Kept referring to previous books

Timing, condition. All perfect
