Thoth (god of writing)

Thoth is an ancient Egyptian deity often associated with writing, knowledge, and wisdom. Depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon, he served as the god of scribes and was believed to have invented writing and the hieroglyphic system. Thoth also governed time and was integral to maintaining cosmic balance, often linked to the moon. In mythology, he played a crucial role in the afterlife by recording the deeds of the dead in the Hall of Judgment. As a symbol of intellect and communication, Thoth's influence extended beyond Egypt, impacting various cultures and philosophies.
