I-em-hotep and Ancient Egyptian medicine: II. Prevention of valvular disease
During the third dynasty, about the year 3,500 B.C. there lived a learned physician (probably a priest of Ra, the sun-god) the founder of a cult, whose eminence was such that in course of ages he is deified and becomes for later generations the special god of medicine. His temples were places of healing for the people. His name is I-em-hotep, meaning 'he who cometh in peace.' According to ancient inscriptions he was the son of a certain architect named Kanofer, but when raised in popular esteem to the rank of a demi-god he is called the son of the supreme god Ptah, the Hephaistos of Egypt, and he becomes one of the great god-triad of Memphis.
