He walked the earth 5000 years ago. He was the Pharaoh's vizier, a master physician, the world's first acknowledged architect, and a mortal turned god. His name was Imhotep, and Egyptologists may be on the verge of discovering his tomb. In a quest that takes us from the crowded spice markets of Cairo to secret passageways buried in the sands of Saqqara, archaeologists search for the lost mummy of Imhotep. Along the way, they reveal ancient medical practices, how Egypt's first pyramid was constructed, and the long-lost art of mummification. Will one of these archaeologists make the greatest discovery of the new millennium?
