The world’s first doctor

Poet, priest, vizier, and scribe

The one who came to us in peace

 

Imhotep

 

Mastermind of the first Pyramid

At Saqqara in Africa

An accomplished astronomer and architect

 

Imhotep

 

The third dynasty saw him

A gifted man who dreamed

A regal and Renaissance man

 

Imhotep

 

With theories and designs

That, to this day, astound the mind

A leader among leaders

 

Imhotep

 

A prolific wonder

So provident and divine

Glowing in his genius

 

Imhotep

 

The world’s first doctor

A poet, priest, vizier, and scribe

The one who came to us in peace remains

 

Imhotep
