No.
And it's 'Imhotep' not 'Imohotep.'
'Imhotep' translate to 'the one who comes in, with peace' not perfect anyone.
He wasn't a king or pharaoh, he was an engineer who served under Khufu who designed the first great pyramid.
I am telling you Imhotep one of the African translation means "Perfect Black one" do the
linguistic research on it!.Not perfect or imperfect White one , which is how the Egyptians saw
White people as being "imperfect", because of their "White Skin", that burned in the Egyptian Sun, and their "Blue Eyes", that glowed as embers in coal.So there is no way Egyptians can be classified as being "White" , some of you people have been watching to
many Hollywood movies with Elizabeth Taylor, and Richard Burton.
Wow ... actually Ancient Egyptians were closer to the coloring of Native Americans, many stayed in doors to prevent darkening as it was seen as beautiful to be different. As a matter of fact, they also prevented many of their servants from going out in the daylight hours to keep them from getting too dark. To them a light tan was a sign of wealth, since the laborers would have to work in the sunlight. Also, Imhotep was Ancient Egyptian, the language was lost for quite some time, and the name means 'the one who comes in, with peace' in the ancient dialect (which I happen to read). It was a name he also earned. Ancient Egyptians also did not see white or black as being perfect or imperfect, to them it was a status within the culture based on each culture they encountered (which were many). They saw the Greeks as great warriors, and even took one of the half-grecian, half-egyptian offspring as a queen just before the Romans (who they did hate) cam and slaughtered them. How they saw the Greeks and Romans was not based on skin color, but on how they acted toward them. Greeks came with open arms, said let's form trade agreements and share cultures, while the Romans came with swords drawn. They also saw the lesser tribes in the area (most were of pitch colored skin) as ... well ... lesser, even to the extent of being lower life forms, because of their uncivilized natures. So yeah, learn your own history a bit more, please, you embarrass Egyptians by your idiotic assumptions.
I don't know what White European trash textbooks you have been reading, but I read
from a reputable source, that "Imhotep" means perfect black one, not one that comes in peace. And they dispised , loathed the Caucasian Blue Eyed invaders. I don't know what watered down history books you have been reading, but they did not like nor accepted European invaders,or hysops, or Hittites invaders, they saw them as people that where constantly trying to invade their land , and or stealing their women, or grain at night.
Many were killed or enslaved by the Egyptians
