Imhotep Museum

　　The Imhotep Museum is situated in Saqqara and was opened in 2006 to honor the famous Egyptian architect Imhotep. In Egypt, Imhotep ranks second only to the Pharaohs, and was revered by the ancient Egyptians as the "God of Wisdom."

　　Imhotep was the architect and designer of the first pyramid—the Step Pyramid—his creation being the first ever fully stone structure built by humans and a true pioneer in pyramid architecture. The museum consists of five exhibition halls. On the first floor, visitors can see the statue of Djoser, the most famous pharaoh of the Third Dynasty. The third floor mainly displays architectural works designed by Imhotep, including a series of step pyramids. The fourth floor showcases vases and sculptures made from wood and stone, while the fifth floor exhibits various items used in the burial of kings from the Sixth Dynasty to the New Kingdom, such as pottery, shabtis, limestone canopic jars, limestone mace heads, jewelry, and more.
