That reminds me: having heard that Imhotep, one of my favourite
figures from the Early Dynastic Period of Egyptian history, appears
prominently in the recent film "The Mummy", I look forward to seeing
how they deal with his architectural innovations that led to the
radically new design of Djoser's step pyramid complex at Saqqara.
I can think of a few ways they could portray his invention of the
stone column, or his reworking of traditional reed mat temple 
motifs into monolithic structures...

I guess I'll just have to wait and see it for myself.
