Thoth was a multifaceted deity in ancient Egyptian mythology, often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon. He was associated with wisdom, writing, magic, and the moon.
As the god of wisdom and learning, Thoth was believed to be the inventor of writing and the scribe of the gods. He was often depicted as weighing the hearts of the deceased against a feather of truth, to determine whether they would be allowed into the afterlife.
 
Thoth was also associated with magic and divination. He was believed to have the power to control the moon and the stars, and to predict the future. He was often invoked for help in matters of education, wisdom, and magic.
 
The cult of Thoth was widespread throughout ancient Egypt, and his temples were located in many different cities. One of the most famous temples dedicated to Thoth was the Temple of Thoth at Hermopolis, which was an important center of learning and wisdom.
