Actually, Imhotep wasn't a pharoah. He was a physician and architect. 
He designed the first Egyptian pyramid for Zoser (Djoser), which was 
of the step design, part way between a ziggurat and the more typical 
flat-faced pyramid. (The librarian in me rears its ugly head...)

But hey, I'm not off topic, not if you figure that good old Imhotep 
may be responsible for some of those funky curses Ron's brother 
spends his time trying to break for Gringotts!
