The history of Architecture certainly has to date back to the beginning of time, but the first ever documented architectural history seems to come from ancient Egypt. Imhotep generally called Imuthes from the 27th century BC, whose name meant “the one who comes in peace, is with peace”, was an Egyptian polymath who served under the Third Dynasty king Djoser as chancellor to the pharaoh and high priest of the sun god Ra at Heliopolis. He is considered by some to be the earliest known architect and engineer and physician in early history.
