Was Imhotep and Joseph the same Person?

by Betty Rhodes

The Original Comparisons of Joseph & Imhotep

Imhotep was the world's first named architect who built Egypt's first pyramid, and is often recognized as the world's first doctor, priest, scribe, sage, poet, astrologer, and vizier, chief minister - to Djoser (reign 2630–2611 BC), the second king of Egypt's third dynasty. Imhotep may have lived under as many as four kings. An inscription on one of the kings statues states Imhotep's titles as the "chancellor of the king of lower Egypt', the "first one under the king", the "administrator of the great mansion", the "hereditary Noble", the "high priest of Heliopolis", the "chief sculptor", and finally the "chief carpenter".

By reading the following table it would appear that Imhotep and Joseph, son of Jacob, had many attributes in common - if not identical. Is this a pattern that has repeated - or were the two men one and the same person?

My conclusion - Imhotep and Joseph were indeed the same person and the descendant of Ptah.
