Imhotep is a real historic figure, but he wasn't the High Priest of Pharaoh Seti I; he was the architect who developed the first pyramids in ancient Egypt, most notably the Pyramid of Pharaoh Djoser at Saqqara around 2600 BC. His ability was such that he was later said to have descended from the gods. His name means "one who comes in peace", and as far as anyone knows, he was not a despised villain as portrayed in the movie, but much more likely revered as the architect and physician he was. Seti I was a real pharaoh, but he ruled around 1300 BC, almost 1300 years after Imhotep had died. Anuk-sun-amun was an Egyptian princess who was half-sister (and wife) to Pharaoh Tutankhamun. They lived in the mid-1300s BCE, decades before Seti I's rule.
