Searching for The Tomb of Imhotep
An online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton based on the book 'Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt' - see https://chrisnaunton.com/searching-fo...
Imhotep. The name has been made famous by Hollywood mummy movies but the real-life man of this name was perhaps even more extraordinary. He is credited with designing the Step Pyramid, the very first of these iconic monuments, and long after his death he became a folk hero, and eventually a god. Despite his status, his tomb has never been found. Two thousand years after he lived, the ancients made thousands of offerings to him around a group of tombs of Imhotep’s time. Could one of them have been the final resting place of the man himself?
