It means just what the inscription says. Nobody knows who Imhotep was, but he was "near the head of Zoser", "the most Sacred One", directed of the great mansion, the Kings head.

Somebody influenced the Egyptians, and the Greeks "absorbed" much knowledge from the Egyptians, which Plato maybe made an eaborate story out of, as was the habit of the old philosophers and poets

I never mentioned Plato's Athens of 10,000 BCE, but said that "my" Atlantis betokens the successive races of our evolutionary history. When Plato writes about 8, 9, or 10,000 years, one can easily increase the zeros, as it was also the habit of the old writers to say 1 year and mean 100,000.

True, Plato created it, and sank it with Zeus,cosmic law personified, "who rules according to law, and is able to see into such things, perceiving that an honerable race was in a woeful plight, and wanting to inflict punishment on them, that they might be chastened and improve, collected all the gods into their most holy habitation, which being placed in the centre of the world, beholds all things. And when he had called them together, he spake as follows.* The center of the world is your heart, and it is up to generations hence to bring my story to rememberance, to learn to understand it because you need to know your history.
