Historical Figures in Engineering Imhotep

From healer and physician to an ancient god, Imhotep has been in the spotlight for many things. But what was his role in the world of engineering?

Leonardo Da Vinci, Henry Ford, James Watt. These names often spring to mind when you think about historical figures in engineering. But if we dive deeper, some great feats of engineering happened long before their time.

Ancient Egypt is the perfect example of how engineering was extremely advanced, even before technology. And one of the most important figures from this time period is Imhotep. He built the very first pyramid, and even to this day, there are still some mysteries surrounding their construction.
