African History
The Ancient Black Scholar Worshipped by the Greeks and Romans: Imhotep
This is a captivating story about the Great Imhotep of ancient Egypt. Ever wondered who the real father of medicine is? Well, he is not Hippocrates – the very person most physicians swear an oath to. He was the master architect of the greatest man-made structures in the ancient world – the Giza pyramid.
How did a mere mortal become a god in ancient Egypt?
Imhotep stands as a towering figure in the annals of history, renowned for his profound impact on science.
He emerges as the earliest known scholar, predating the recorded histories of other world civilizations. Born around 2770 BC, Imhotep hailed from Men Nafoore, a city the Greeks later named Memphis. He was one of nine children in his family, son to the architect Khanofer and Khreduankh. His name, ii-m-hotep, translates to ‘he comes in peace.’

Please people don't reply to stupid comments like 'he was Asian'. This information is not for their benefit it is for black people across the world to know our history and our formation of the civilised world and our critical contributions to it. We have much to be very proud of. Love this channel.

Questions our African Nubian blacks are clearly shown Imhop and his mother, his Father Ptah. Why then they show the white washed statues with pink skin

He was Egyptian. Black African don't need to hijack someone else's culture because Black Africans have a very rich and beautiful culture that Black Africans can be proud of.

Wow…thank you for this amazing presentation. So much ancient Black African history has been deliberately hidden to project Europeans as the creators of humanity's greatest achievements. This video unveils the truth of who really were.

We’re living in a paradox. Akin to “Patrice” in ‘Coming to America’ thinking “Semmi” was the Prince, because he said he was. And she scoffed at the real Prince, “Akeem.” “Patrice” represents the gullible people of the Western world, and “Semmi” represents the leaders of the Western world. Who took African wealth and knowledge, and codified it as their own. All while feverishly covering their historical tracks by gate-keeping scientific, historical, geographical, and archeological information and communities. When the world learns how the “Semmi’s” lied, akin to the moment “Patrice” learned “Semmi” was not the Prince, but it was “Akeem” all along, it destroys centuries of scholarly work from the likes of Darwin, Carl Linnaeus, evolutionists, etc. The house of cards crumbles. The lies, omissions and half-truths about Black civilization, toppled.

Too many illustrations of non-Black people falsely representing the ancient Kemites., it's very off-putting.

Be careful of following dates we are encouraged to accept.
Plus Manetho as the person who wrote history timeline for the Greeks.
If Hippocrates is the father of medicine by their own writing why is he praying to Imhotep in the Hippocratic oath?

Ìmhòteph means one who bring peàce. It means "pròphet".
His fòrmal hìstory is not the real one, it was a màde up by the later peoples who wòrshìp him. Because he is also the next king after djoser, king sèkhèmhet.
Same pèrsòn.
In religious story, he is pròphet joseph in christianity, or yusuf in islam.

It’s a shame that a man like that wasn’t around now, especially in United States, where people like Trump run everyone who isn’t pure white down as being unworthy someone like haematite could really be used

Thank u 4 ur objectivity, I also thank u for incurring affricans to be proud of their content and culture, but allow me to say that affricans are not only black some of us are brown and some white, in Egypt, Tunisia , libya, Moraco, Algeria, all these countries are Africans too,but they are not black, , so please lets not make the same mistakes were done before by Europeans against Africans , and let us be objective and understanding.

White nationalist Christians is the only reason why he's only being recognized now. If it was up to the abrahamic religion of Christianity nobody of color would have any rights and this is why Christianity needs to be abolished along with all the other religions of God in Christ

The whooly hair and dark skin will always be the hallmark of Egyptians – even today. You will find this also among many Arabs and Turks, Palestinians and Cypriots….all of whom did trade via the silk road with Egypt to China and back.

It has been recorded that Hippocrates himself is said that he is a child of Imhotep ….. he was the Father of Medicine an some of his tools such as the Scalpel are still in use🫶🏾👍🏽… Imhotep was quite a man
