“We should not forget that the body is a grand achievement of the spirit and built into it is the capacity to maintain itself and heal itself”~Ashby Muata
human being of the ancient world who has left a profound impact on history was the world’s first multi-genius Imhotep, the sage, scribe, chief lector priest, architect, astronomer, magician and chief physician to the king. Imhotep received accolades for his literary mastery that earned him recognition in modern times as; “the first man of science in recorded history,” “the real Father of Medicine and healing,” and “the world’s first doctor”. Sir William Osier also commented that, “The first figure of a Physician to stand out clearly from the mists of antiquity.” Imhotep lived at the court of King Zoser (Djoser) of the Third Dynasty around 2980 B.C. and established such a reputation as a physician and healer, that during the later stages his adoration grew into deification, where he was worshipped as a god for the next 3000 years in Egypt, Greece and Rome.
Imhotep, as a physician, was accepted as the author of the Edwin Smith Papyrus which describes more than 90 anatomical terms and 48 injuries. In Memphis, Imhotep also founded a school of medicine known as Asklepion that remained famous for two thousand years. This was occurring well over 2,000 years before the Western Father of Medicine Hippocrates was even born.
Imhotep and the native Black Egyptians were skilled at detecting diseases by observing the shape, color or condition of the visible areas of the body like the skin, hair, nails and tongue. They also possessed knowledge of the position and functions of the stomach, lungs, and other vital organs.
Furthermore, Imhotep was familiar with the circulation of the blood system some 4000 years before it was identified in Europe, since Egyptian civilization had endured for 6000 years, and would have allowed its greatest thinkers and scientists to effectively carry out major research to an advanced level in many fields.
The Per-Ankh is the world’s first hospital known as The House of Life which has evolved into today’s hospital, where on the walls are carved most of the medical instruments that still have the exact dimensions, the exact styles and shapes still used in medical operation theaters today.
Carved on the wall is an ancient prescription that Imhotep gave to patients on whom he performed his medical work, as well as the bowl used to cleanse his hands. But what is striking about this Per-Ankh is that it shows medical instruments in this sacred temple dating back to over 3,000 years which modern day doctors can still easily identify.
After Egyptian civilization made its way into the Mediterranean becoming the foundation of Greek culture, the teachings of Imhotep and his accomplishments in Egypt spread to Greece where they were also adopted. Imhotep was introduced to the City of Memphis and embraced in the name of love as a son of Apollo, (the Greek God of the Sun), where he became a god of medicine to the Greeks. Imhotep (called Imouthes) was worshipped by the Greeks and identified with their mythological god of medicine Asklepios. The Greeks even erected a temple to honor him called Æsculapius (Imhotep’s Greek god name) near the Serapeum at Memphis some 2500 years after his death.
Imhotep became so renowned that he was also honored by the Romans. For example, the emperors Claudius and Tiberius had inscriptions that praised him inscribed on the walls of their Egyptian temples. At Saqqara where his tomb is believed to be located, people brought offerings, including mummified Ibises (domesticated birds in Egypt) and clay replicas of diseased limbs and organs, firmly believing that they would be cured. Even the early Christians worshipped him as the Prince of Peace and one with Christ. His fame survived until the Arab invasion of North Africa during the 7th century AD.
The Encyclopedia Britannica says, “The evidence afforded by Egyptian and Greek texts support the view that Imhotep’s reputation was respected in very early times. His prestige increased with the lapse of centuries and his temples in Greek times were the centers of medical teaching.”
In reference to medicine, Homer said in The Odyssey, “In Egypt the men are more skilled in medicine than any of human kind.”
The serpent-staff symbol with its long history of being linked to religious and occult miracles appeared in Ancient Egyptian times during the rivalry between the biblical Staff of Aaron the Hebrew, and the Uraeus Staff of the Priest of the Egyptian Pharaoh. This same serpent-staff model has been adopted by the American Medical Association in their development of the Caduceus symbol, which resembles a winged flagpole with two entwined serpents. For example, every doctor whether Black or white takes the Hippocratic Oath which says,
“I swear by Apollo the physician, by Æsculapius, Hygeia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgement, the following Oath…”
Æsculapius is the Greek name bestowed upon the Black African, Imhotep.
Hygieia, a daughter of Asclepius and goddess of health, cleanliness and sanitation, was mainly associated with the prevention of sickness and the continuation of good health. She also played a vital part in her father’s cult, and though she was the subject of a local cult since the 7th century BC, it did not gather momentum until after the Oracle at Delphi recognized her, and after the plague which devastated Athens in 429 and 427 BC, and Rome in 293 BC.
A panacea is a cure-all, either physical medication or a solution to a problem prepared to prolong life.
