THOTH #17

Thoth is an ancient Egyptian god associated with wisdom, writing, knowledge, and the moon. Often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or as a baboon, Thoth is considered the scribe of the gods and the inventor of writing and hieroglyphs. He is also the god of magic, science, and judgment, serving as a mediator and counselor to other gods, including in matters of law and wisdom. Thoth played an essential role in the afterlife, recording the results of the "weighing of the heart" ceremony, where the deceased's soul was judged. His contributions to knowledge, particularly in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, and medicine, made him a revered deity in Egyptian culture. As a god of communication and intellect, Thoth represents the power of language, thought, and written records in Egyptian mythology.
