The Bible does not say what Joseph did with the last 66yrs of his life but it does say that Joseph was so respected by the Egyptians, that he was given a royal Egyptian burial and his body was embalmed. Joseph's body was removed in the Exodus. Imhotep's tomb was located close to the Ibis Galleries in Saqqara, however, his sarcophagus was empty and his mummy has never been located.

''Imhotep'' was eventually deified but how he was perceived by the Egyptians and the Greeks has no bearing on who he was. A hot debate remains even today as to whether Imhotep was a real person or just a legend.
