Imhotep (The Nile River)

Imhotep was a High Priest of the god Sobek.
== Biography ==
=== Sobek's Curse ===
The High Priest Imhotep warned the people of Abu Simbel that a curse was coming, because of their actions."Yet there were times when the ancients were wicked and they brought about the hatred of their gods. It was the high priest Imhotep who warned the people of Abu Simbel that a curse was coming and that it would come from the river." - The Nile River
 After a series of deaths in the Nile, the people pleaded with the governor, who in turn pleaded to Imhotep to end the curse. Imhotep told him it was up to the people to undo the effects of their transgressions."The people of Abu Simbel believed that an evil spirit had come upon them. They asked the local governor to solve the problem. In a matter like this the governor was helpless. So, he appealed to Imhotep. The high priest told him that only the people could solve their own problem, for it was they alone who had brought about this curse." - The Nile River
After the people abandoned the river to avoid the curse, a boy found the remains of a massive crocodile. Imhotep, on seeing the skeleton, pronounced that Sobek had been pleased with the people's sacrifices and prayers."At last, a boy walked to the Nile, immersed in thoughts of play, when he saw something that glistened white in the riverbank. At closer inspection, he saw that it was the sun-bleached skeleton of a crocodile. The corpse or what remained was enormous, almost 30 feet long. The boy ran back and a crowd gathered to see the bones. Imhotep saw it too and pronounced that Sobek was well pleased." - The Nile River (PROSE: The Nile River)
== Notes ==
* The real Imhotep was High Priest of the Sun God Ra. Of course, if the sun were killing people in the story, it would be unlikely that Imhotep would be around to moralise.
