The Egyptians very early assembled their municipal deities into an elaborate national system of gods. They developed an extensive theology and had an equally extensive but burdensome priesthood. Several different leaders sought to revive the remnants of the early religious teachings of the Sethites, but these endeavors were short-lived. The Andites built the first stone structures in Egypt. The first and most exquisite of the stone pyramids was erected by Imhotep, an Andite architectural genius, while serving as prime minister. Previous buildings had been constructed of brick, and while many stone structures had been erected in different parts of the world, this was the first in Egypt. But the art of building steadily declined from the days of this great architect. Ref. The Urantia Book

Oof! How very dare you? Admittedly, I sort of stopped paying attention after that unnecessary insult on The Mummy (even though this video continuously references both movies that it doesn't like? , anyway it's a perfectly enjoyable flick as well as the sequel. Yeah, I said it!
But then stating Sekhmet as merely Goddess of childbirth annoys me too. So much more to her character than that.

The edwin smith papers don't mention Imhotep anywhere! There is zero proof he was anything they claim, the only mention of the man in his lifetime, is on the base of a statue, it doesn't even confirm his role regards the stepped pyramid, doesnt record him as Architect or builder, and no we dont know he built an irrigation system, because there is no record!

This entire video is nothing but conjecture. None of it is fact. You keep saying he was the one that developed the pyramids but it hasnt been proven when the pyramids were even built. Theres no way they know who built them when they dont even know when they were built. Its an interesting story but not as interesting as the Mummy movie.

I don't know anyone that thought the movies were real any more than Dracula was real. Movies are there for entertainment. If I wanted a lesson on mummies, I'd watch a documentary about it. That said, the Mummy series was a lot of fun and millions of people loved them. So who peed in your cornflakes to make you act like this?

Actually the pyramid structure design is waaay older than the designs such as Hatshepsut's funerary temple. I believe Djoser was one of the earliest pharaohs much before Hatshepsut.
The Imhotep in monster movie The Mummy wasn't THE Imhotep. Movie Imhotep served Seti the first who reigned very long after Djoser.

Imhotep didnt build the first pyramid. The great pyramids were around thousands of years before he was born. He was the first recorded architect for a pyramid during period a time when people forgot how to build them.
Even then, he couldnt build them like the pre-dynastic Egyptians.

Im a year late to dunking on the opinion of Weird History about the mummy though am glad everyone in the comments agrees the Mummy is a classic. I guess we were all children when the film released. Whereas Weird History must have been in their college age where they dunk on films.

I feel bad about the way Imhotep has been maligned. A truly great man is being remembered as an evil villain. The movies were of course were fun, but people need to remember not everything you see in the movies is real. In this case its all very very fake.

He helped the Pharoah regulate food and water during a seven year famine. There is another mythology other than Egyptian where someone worked their way through the ranks to become chancellor to Pharoah and helped during a seven year famine.

I'm sorry, I thought this was a video about Imhotep and not a movie review. There was more in this video about the movie than the real life Imhotep. I usually like the Weird History videos, but this one was a bit of a let down.

Too much about the movie should have stuck to introducing him as the guy who was depicted as the cursed mummy in the movies and then going into the actual history. Don't keep bouncing back and forth not a good format

This fool. I used think the most annoying thing about his videos was him ending every video with, So what do YOUUUUU think? Now his opinion of the Mummy has surpassed even that. I will literally fight this dude.

The Anastasia movie is every bit as bad. Nicholas II was an arsehole, Anastasia a domestic violence victim yet thanks to that revolting film a completely different story has taken hold in people's minds

For someone who hates the 1999 Mummy so much, the writers (and by extension, the narrator) sure did bring it up a lot. Like, we know the movie isn't historically accurate, bruv, chill.

We have to study Imhotep in historical architecture classes! I thought his name looked familiar here I wish this video focused more on him and less on the plot of both Mummy movies.
