 == Picture montage suggestion - replace Merit Ptah? == 

 I know of many scientists that have accomplished more than Merit-Ptah has been know to have, for example, perhaps Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Diderik van der Waals, Imhotep (if you want a good example of an Ancient Egyptian scientist), Élie Metchnikoff, or Wilhelm Röntgen? Sure, Merit-Ptah might be one of the first recorded women scientists, but we're talking about scientists who made significant contributions or have been very influential in their field. Is Merit-Ptah, who doesn't has very few if any recorded accomplishments or discoveries, more influential than the the man who proposed that our solar system is heliocentic, or the man who discovered X-rays?
