Author Description

This will change everything we know about Ancient Egypt. An obscure, overlooked artifact found by Steve Kallman at the Step Pyramid in Egypt inspired him to undertake decades of research to understand the significance of his discovery, where it was found and its importance in the design of the Step Pyramid. The result is the most detailed study of the Step Pyramid to date. We know little about the famous great sage, Imhotep, who was the Vizier, or Prime Minister, of Egypt under the Pharaoh Djoser of Egypt's Third Dynasty. Although he was the Chief Royal Architect and Chief Royal Physician among his many titles, the man himself is somewhat of an enigma. His skill as an architect is clearly visible in his innovative, extensive use of stone in the Step Pyramid and its surrounding buildings. This book goes beyond admiring the results of Imhotep's architectural endeavors. Instead, it details the methods and hidden history of its design and construction. Through extensive research gleaned from books and reports from the initial excavations to more recent discoveries, Kallman has unraveled a mystery (or mysteries) confirming Imhotep's uncanny genius in creating a masterpiece within this most unique pyramid in Egypt. Not only was Imhotep known for his innovative, extensive use of use stone, but he also built the ancient world's first hospital here in this monument for Djoser. We now have proof that Imhotep also designed the Step Pyramid Enclosure using Sacred Geometry, thousands of years before the Greeks were thought to have done so. The hidden sacred wisdom that Imhotep embedded within the Step Pyramid's architecture is now finally revealed. Here is the most complete account of Imhotep's architectural and medical careers as revealed in the grandeur and graceful beauty of Egypt's oldest pyramid.
