Authored by renowned researchers Robert Bauval and Thomas Brophy, it challenges conventional history by revealing Imhotep’s pivotal role in shaping civilization and decoding cosmic alignments, backed by extensive archaeological and astronomical evidence. ## Description An Exploration of Imhotep—Architect of the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, High Priest of Ra, and Royal Astronomer—as Well as His Influence as the True Father of African Civilization. In this groundbreaking book, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy uncover the mystery of Imhotep, an ancient Egyptian superstar, pharaonic Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Galileo, and Newton all rolled into one. Based on their research at the Step Pyramid Complex at Saqqara, Bauval and Brophy delve into observational astronomy to "decode" the alignments and other design features of the Step Pyramid Complex, to uncover the true origins and genius of Imhotep. Like a whodunit detective story they follow the clues that take them on an exhilarating magical mystery tour starting at Saqqara, leading them to temples in Upper Egypt and to the stones of Nabta Playa and the black African stargazers who placed them there. Imhotep the African describes how Imhotep was the ancient link to the birth of modern civilization, restoring him to his proper place at the center of the birthing of Egyptian, and world, civilization. Review: REWRITING HISTORY ONE CHAPTER AT A TIME - The story of human history that is presently being taught in our classrooms contains many-many inaccuracies and missing chapters. Bauval and Brophy are two of the most prolific modern researchers in the quest to think outside the box and uncover our true shared history more accurately. As a fellow 40+ year researcher/author on human evolution I have personally read all of the books each have written, including their most recent joint project "Black Genesis," and written favorable reviews on most of them. For those of you who are familiar with their earlier work, this book will not disappoint. Those not familiar are in store for a rare exhibition of what cutting-edge, open-minded, modern thinking can achieve. The earliest written records science has available to consider the story of human history are from the two oldest civilizations Egypt & Sumer (hieroglyphs and cuneiform) which date to approximately 3000 BC. Aside from these written accounts the more conventional tools of archaeology and anthropology are the next-best method. Unfortunately, each of these methods are highly subjective and, right or wrong, are largely determined by a consensus of Establishment thinking. Few deny that a remarkably high degree of sophistication in knowledge was clearly displayed in Egypt's most famous sites. In this book you will learn that equally amazing knowledge was also displayed by early humanity in Egypt thousands of years earlier in the now barren desert 100 miles West of the better-known sites. This book is a part of the opening volley which will ultimately form a new worldview and better understanding of history. My only criticism of the conclusions from this book are that the source of knowledge demanded to create the engineering capability clearly put to practice by these early civilizations was far greater, advanced and more expansive than the authors of this book imply. In Brophy's 2005 book "Nabta Playa" the author provided compelling evidence that advanced astronomy, including the knowledge of the true shape of the Milky Way Galaxy, its center and Earth's location, was known in approximately 6500 BC. Also, knowledge of the speed of light, precise distance to the primary stars in Orion and other important information which was only scientifically proved conclusively in the last 50 years. Are we really expected to believe this information was discovered by a primitive people with one foot still in the stone age? This book is a good start toward unraveling the mystery of the existence of highly advanced engineering and technology put to practice in human history ... but additional work must follow to uncover the actual source behind Imhotep's knowledge. Intelligent Intervention Review: New light in dark places - I give this book a top star because that's what it deals with, more of the stellar orientation, which is older, rather than just the solar of ancient Kemet. Really like how the author(s) does credit to Heliopolis (Anu/biblical On). The mathematics of the areas (right angles) point to a deep understanding of the cosmos, and that the area was founded upon cosmic jurisprudence. The book is good and like all good things, I'm enjoying it slowly. Makes me want to prepare to order other titles by the same author. I am just elated that this author in particular, has risen above the scientific racist to credit the people who really brought high culture in Africa and thus are the true parents of civilization throughout the world. It is to them that all praise is due.However, I don't think that Imhotep is no more the greatest of the great than Hemianu can be proven to be the builder of the great pyramid. For whoever designed and built the great pyramid, or should I say the entire Giza Project, took it to whole "nother" level. Again, however; I am thankful for Mr. Bauval; he has brought up some deep thought in his research which can only further prepare us for what is to come.

Thank you ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ IMHOTEP STILL A GREAT MYSTERY!!! *by E***A on September 26, 2013* Certainly this is not one of the best books by Robert Bauval. For those interested in Imhotep, I would recommend IMHOTEP BUILDER IN STONE by Maribelle Cormack. In this book we can read the following: "The dark skinned Nubians, who lived beyond the First Cataract ( a barrier such as a waterfall or steep rapids ) of the Nile, were not allowed to enter Egypt. During the period of the Middle Kingdom (about 2000 B.C.), THE Egyptians built a trading post at Samnan, above the Second Cataract, and allowed the Nubians to come there to trade. But no Nubian entered Egypt in the Old Kingdom says except as slaves." This is a real contradiction with the working hypothesis of this book of Robert Bauval! As far as I know this book by Maribelle Cormack is very well documented Anyway Imhotep remains a great mystery for mankind, and perhaps it is in The Urantia Book by reading it with open mind where we can resolve the real mystery not about Imhotep, but about that "ancient history of mankind" that we really do not know anything about. Recently I have read a book by one of the great thinkers of the 20th century Sigmund Freud, MOSES AND MONOTHEISM which I have already reviewed, and there, there is a complete consistent explanation about that topic taken from UB. This time I want just to share with you open minded people, interested in the past of mankind the following taken too from UB: "When the last Andite dispersion broke the biologic backbone of Mesopotamian civilization, a small minority of this superior race remained in their homeland near the mouths of the rivers. These were the Sumerians, and by 6000 B.C. they had become largely Andite in extraction, though their culture was more exclusively Nodite in character, and they clung to the ancient traditions of Dalamatia. Nonetheless, these Sumerians of the coastal regions were the last of the Andites in Mesopotamia. But the races of Mesopotamia were already thoroughly blended by this late date, as is evidenced by the skull types found in the graves of this era. 6. THE ANDITES ALONG THE NILE From the times of the terminal Andite migrations, culture declined in the Euphrates valley, and the immediate center of civilization shifted to the valley of the Nile. Egypt became the successor of Mesopotamia as the headquarters of the most advanced group on earth. The Nile valley began to suffer from floods shortly before the Mesopotamian valleys but fared much better. This early setback was more than compensated by the continuing stream of Andite immigrants, so that the culture of Egypt, though really derived from the Euphrates region, seemed to forge ahead. But in 5000 B.C., during the flood period in Mesopotamia, there were seven distinct groups of human beings in Egypt; all of them, save one, came from Mesopotamia. When the last exodus from the Euphrates valley occurred, Egypt was fortunate in gaining so many of the most skillful artists and artisans. These Andite artisans found themselves quite at home in that they were thoroughly familiar with river life, its floods, irrigations, and dry seasons. They enjoyed the sheltered position of the Nile valley; they were there much less subject to hostile raids and attacks than along the Euphrates. And they added greatly to the metalworking skill of the Egyptians. Here they worked iron ores coming from Mount Sinai instead of from the Black Sea regions. The Egyptians very early assembled their municipal deities into an elaborate national system of gods. They developed an extensive theology and had an equally extensive but burdensome priesthood. Several different leaders sought to revive the remnants of the early religious teachings of the Sethites, but these endeavors were short-lived. The Andites built the first stone structures in Egypt. The first and most exquisite of the stone pyramids was erected by Imhotep, an Andite architectural genius, while serving as prime minister. Previous buildings had been constructed of brick, and while many stone structures had been erected in different parts of the world, this was the first in Egypt. But the art of building steadily declined from the days of this great architect. This brilliant epoch of culture was cut short by internal warfare along the Nile, and the country was soon overrun, as Mesopotamia had been, by the inferior tribes from inhospitable Arabia and by the blacks from the south. As a result, social progress steadily declined for more than five hundred years... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/8243562-imhotep-the-african-architect-of-the-cosmos](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/8243562-imhotep-the-african-architect-of-the-cosmos) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
