This book presents and analyses the results of the use and adaptation of ancient Egyptian architecture in modern times. It traces the use of ancient Egyptian motifs and constructions across the world, from Australia, the Americas and Southern Africa to Western Europe. It also inquires into the cultural, economic and social contexts of this practice. Imhotep Today is exceptional not only in its global coverage, but in its analyses of thorny questions such as: what was it about Ancient Egypt that inspired such Egyptianizing monuments, and was it just one idea, or several different ones which formed the basis of such activities? The book also asks why only certain images, such as obelisks and sphinxes, were incorporated within the movement. The contributors explore how these 'monuments' fitted into the local architecture of the time and, in this context, they investigate whether 'Egyptianizing architecture' is an ongoing movement and, if so, how it differs from earlier, similar activities.

*Includes pictures *Includes a bibliography for further reading Africa may have given rise to the first human beings, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world's first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world. With world-famous leaders like King Tut and Cleopatra, it's no wonder that today's world has so many Egyptologists. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of ancient Egyptian civilization was its inception from the ground up, as the ancient Egyptians had no prior civilization which they could use as a template. In fact, ancient Egypt itself became a template for the civilizations that followed. The Greeks and the Romans were so impressed with Egyptian culture that they often attributed many attributes of their own culture‒usually erroneously‒to the Egyptians. With that said, some minor elements of ancient Egyptian culture were, indeed, passed on to later civilizations. Egyptian statuary appears to have had an initial influence on the Greek version, and the ancient Egyptian language continued long after the pharaonic period in the form of the Coptic language. The pyramids of Egypt are such recognizable symbols of antiquity that for millennia, people have made assumptions about what they are and why they exist, without full consideration of the various meanings these ancient symbolic structures have had over the centuries. Generations have viewed them as symbols of a lost past, which in turn is often portrayed as a world full of romance and mystery. This verbal meaning has become associated with the structures through the tourism industry, where intrigue obviously boosts ticket sales. In fact, the Egyptian pyramids are so old that they were also drawing tourists even in ancient times. In antiquity, the Great Pyramid of Giza was listed as one of Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, and it is the only one still surviving today. The name Imhotep has since become infused with popular culture through the popular series of Mummy movies, where the mummified remains of Imhotep are reanimated through the power of an ancient curse, leading to the shambling, linen-wrapped and decomposing undead monster haunting the hapless treasure seekers who dared disturb his resting place. In reality, the ancient Imhotep was a talented architect and builder who succeeded in creating something that had never been seen before. In fact, Imhotep is considered by many to be the world's first true scientist, or at least the first scientist known by name. Although the historical references to Imhotep are disparate, fleeting, and dispersed over a time span of nearly 3,000 years, he is without doubt one of the most influential people in early Egyptian and ancient history in general. Few ancient Egyptians who were not kings are known today, and almost none have been so revered or worshiped long after their deaths as Imhotep was. Later writers, Egyptian and Greek, stated that he was an accomplished physician, magician (the two often went together in ancient Egypt), and astrologer. He was described as a man who knew just about every aspect of nature and science, and he wrote extensively on several different subjects. Imhotep's fame grew so much during his life that he became even more important long after he died, to the extent that he was eventually worshiped as a god.

-2600 years BC, at the dawn of civilization, a man called Imhotep erected a pyramid in the desert, at Saqqara, for his pharaoh. Everyone knows that, BUT what few people know is that, recently, studies have been carried out on the chemical composition of the stones that make up the step pyramid of Imhotep. From a scientific point of view, there is inconsistency and misunderstanding. The stones were not taken from a quarry, brought and cut. The stones were made on site in wooden molds to give them their uniform, rectangular shape. Scientists have proven that these stones were put in a semi-liquid state in wooden molds at the bottom of the Saqqara pyramid and then this semi-liquid texture dried in these molds until it became a solid state , in the state of stone. This solid, rectangular 25 kg stone was then taken out of the molds and then given to a carrier whose mission was to transport it to the top of the pyramid. But, scientists do not understand how Imhotep was able to carry out this operation. Top scientists cannot find the chemical formula used by Imhotep. Transforming stone into a semi-liquid state is scientifically IMPOSSIBLE today. How a man, Imhotep, who lived 4600 years ago, with ridiculous means, was able to transform stone into a semi-liquid state and then return to the most solid state there is, stone very hard, granite? The reality is that Imhotep used a highly technological instrument to perform this operation, to return the stone to a semi-liquid state. He used a kind of stick, a scepter with a rounded end which is an instrument, a tool abandoned by the gods of antiquity, humanoids with a technology far more advanced than ours today. This tool, Imhotep found it in the basements of Saqqara which existed before he hid the entrance with his pyramid. Yes, the step pyramid of Saqqara hides a vast network of galleries and chambers built long before the pharaohs, by the ancient gods in which were left in particular this object, this instrument, this technological scepter, which makes it possible to return the stone to the semi-liquid state like clay in order to be able to model it and make extremely resistant granite constructions. Follow this amazing investigation and understand how the great pyramids of Giza were built. Find out why all the gods, in all the mythologies in the world, have, in their hands, this tool, this stick, this technological scepter which makes it possible to mold stone and many other things.
