Imhotep (c.2667-28 BCE) the vizier or chief minister of Pharaoh Djoser. Contemporary inscriptions describe him as being a carpenter, sculptor, physician and priest, the first recorded incidence of a polymath. About 2,000 years after his death he was elevated to the status of a god. The Ptolemies (332-30 BC) were particularly keen on Imhotep associating him with the Greek god Asklepios as a god of wisdom and medicine.
