Scrolling this #BlackFriday morning, I got into an education thread, then stopped myself from setting it off a little when I strolled through a #BlackGreeks thread. Put the two together and what did I get?

I salute #Imhotep🤲🏾🕯. A Black Egyptian from the Southside of Thebes who was a priest, architect, physician, mathematician, writer, astronomer, and engineer.

He was deified by the Greeks as Asclepius, god of medicine and not mentioned very much now.

@zuul OK. I see the Greeks are represented here. Saw a Que just a few days ago. Any other Black Greeks out there?
