Imehotep (Imhetep, Greek Imouths)
Imehotep is the only man who was not a king that was deified (proclaimed a God) in recorded history, based upon his technical accomplishments in the service of King Djoser, the second of the third dynasty ( 2630-2611 BCE).He was revered as a physician, architect, high priest, scribe and Vizier. His cult center, Askepion, was established and revered by Greeks, Romans, early Christians and Muslims a full 2200 years before Hippocrates, the Father of western medicine, was born. Yet few modern physicians know of his existence...

Fractal Geometry:
In 1958, Benoit Mandelbrot started his exploration of fractal geometry by using computer technology.
These repeating patterns in nature were first mentioned by Karl Theodor Wilhelm Weierstrass (Weierstra?) (October 31, 1815 � February 19, 1897),
a German mathematician who is often cited as the �Father of modern analysis�.
The Fractal shape is a geometric shape that can be split into parts, each a copy of the whole.
The modern results of their efforts are present and used as the antenna for your cell phone.

Real World Problems:
The American Research Center in Egypt was the recipient of a
grant from the USAID (United States Agency for International Development). The purpose of the grant was to lower the ground water in Luxor Egypt, thus protecting the antiquities located there while allowing for the continued production of food crops in the area. The tomb of Thutmose III (1479-1425), called the �Napoleon of Egypt� is located in the effected area. Other countries are challenged by the same water level issues.

Helicobacter pylori & re-awakening to the germ theory
The Italian Agostino Bassi is credited with having stated the germ theory of disease. His observation of a lethal epidemic in 1835 is heralded as being the birth of modern germ theory. The discovery of Helicobacter pylori as the causative organism for stomach ulcers took almost 25 years to be recognized, due in part to the fact that the discoverers of this bacteria were from Australia. Dr. Barry J. Marshall and Dr. J. Robin Warren of Perth, Western Australia did not have a public relations machine. Consequently the publication of their findings in 1982 more in-line with our present belief in the �germ theory� than the �stress�, took a span of almost 25 years before they were recognized, given credit and awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2005.

Earthquakes, Tsunami & Natural disasters:The recent earthquakes in Afghanistan and China, and the lack of knowledge of the earthquake construction techniques developed in Japan over 50 years ago,
demonstrates that we do not have a system for transference of existing construction techniques that could contribute to individual people and societies preventing tragedies such as this.
The tsunami of recent years could not have been prevented, but like many natural disasters, could be predicted with existing technologies located less than half a planet away in the Pacific Ocean.
Regardless of your status-tourist or local, rich or poor - your fate was the same; there was no discrimination.
