Do we have knowledge of any of the scientists of Ancient Egypt? If yes, were they originally from Egypt, or were they from other regions such as Europe, North Africa or Asia? Any examples?

Wikipedia is your friend, and should be consulted, even better when preparing (open) questions than (standard) answers :) – Drux Oct 28 '12 at 13:24
I tried to edit in order to make it more readable, hopefully it will be accepted by mod and didn't remove any meaning intended by the OP – Louis Rhys Oct 28 '12 at 14:09

@mdnth The point is that "ancient Egypt" covers thousands of years, and there would have been learned Greeks, Romans, and others at various times. Besides, the concept of "science" is a modern one should be applied carefully to other historical periods. So, at the very least, what do you mean by scientist, and what do you mean by Ancient Egypt? – choster Oct 31 '12 at 7:46

Imhotep was, as far as we know, native Egyptian.
