SOME HAVE ATTRIBUTED THIS SAYING TO THE GREEKS, OTHERS TO THE BIBLE; STILL, OTHERS TRACE ITS ORIGINS TO IMHOTEP, ARCHITECT, PHYSICIAN, PRIEST, PHILOSOPHER, MAGICIAN OF THE THIRD DYNASTY UNDER PHARAOH DJOSER OVER 2900 B.C. IT IS ELDEST OF ALL AND SOURCE OF THE OTHERS.

Knowledge of truthful origins promotes later understanding.
SO “EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY FOR TOMORROW WE DIE. “ THAT IS THE TRUTH!
