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 two rock inscriptions in the Wadi Hammamat. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [1]
The only event known from his reign in some detail, is a quarrying expedition to the Wadi Hammamat, perhaps to procure a monument for the king, led by his son Djaty. [1] [3] The large number of workmen (2350) [3] sent out on this expedition, shows that Imhotep may not have had control over the Wadi Hammamat. [1]
Another inscription from the Wadi Hammamat, [7] mentions some work done by the eldest son of Imhotep. [5] This work was probably done as part of an expedition, since the inscription lists numbers of people in different types of occupations that took part. [5]
