Imhotep (Ancient Egyptian: ı͗ı͗-m-ḥtp) was an ephemeral ruler that probably reigned in the 9th dynasty.[1] However, he also may have ruled during the 10th dynasty. Imhotep is only known from a rock inscription in the Wadi Hammamat[2][3][4]
Reign
The only event known from his reign, is a quarrying expedition to the Wadi Hammamat, perhaps to procure a monument for the king, led by his son Djaty.[5][6] The large number of workmen (2350)[7] sent out on this expedition, shows that Imhotep may not have had control over the Wadi Hammamat.[8]
Attestations
Imhotep is known from a single rock inscription in the Wadi Hammamat.[9][10][11][12][13]
