- Thoth is the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom, magic, writing and the moon and was one of the most important gods of the Egyptian pantheon. As the son of gods representing order and chaos, he was also considered the god of equilibrium which in turn means he was often associated with Ma’at, the concept of harmony and balance, and the goddess of the same name who personified these principles (and was sometimes depicted as his wife).
Thoth’s Egyptian name was Djehuty which means He Who is Like the Ibis, and the Ibis bird was sacred in ancient Egypt as well as a popular pet and associated with wisdom. Thoth is often depicted with the head of an ibis and the body of a man, or as a seated baboon sometimes with, and sometimes without, the lunar disk over his head, since he was a lunar deity. As the god of wisdom, he is also credited with being the creator of many different branches of knowledge including law, philosophy, religion, science, magic and writing. As the creator of the written language, Thoth was also linked with the concept of fate and, like Seshat, knew the present, as well as the future and they both, wrote down the fate of humans, and of kings.

Why do you think Thoth was so popular in Ancient Egypt?
Because He's awesome
Because Ancient Egyptians highly regarded wisdom and magic.
Because he was an atlantean priest and he rebuilt the land of khem(Egypt) and is the architect of the great pyramids . .
Perhaps the Egyptians recognized the transformative impact of writing on their society.
Brisbane is the Ibis capital of the world. We call them “bin chickens” . I have one that visits daily for dinner, along with the other local birds, his name is Thoth. He’s a sweetheart.
When I was a kid there was an Ibis that chilled arpund my high school and I love him. I found out about Bin Chickens (American) and laughed my bum off.

I am Thoth
Were kings not considered to be human? I'm genuinely asking because I don't know if ancient Egyptians considered differently. Are kings also pharaohs? Because if so, then I kinda understand because I learned that pharaohs weren't considered completely human.
kings and pharaohs where supposed to be awakened humans there where many that where not fully awaken
Thoth makes me think of Aleister Crowley and the Tarot.
Thoth was not evil tho.. Thoth was a righteous being.. Aleister was evil he somewhat stole his work and incorporated his own writing for his own personal gain which was destructive and dark
@worldhistoryencyclopedis Just a note... In case you've not been told... most able brained people have now adapted to full-on mini mental movie zone-out sessions, in response to the first remotely identified hint of a "like and subscribe" speech🙃. The Psychology flipped, put that speech at the end of an uninterrupted fountain of knowledge and not only will I actually listen and hear it but I will gladly take those steps suggested. Don't believe me... Ask someone, nothing more annoying than begging for interaction before I even know if it's info worth my time🤷🏽♂️🤟🏼👊🏼
That's something to consider. Thanks!
I don't quite understand one thing: 'Mummified ibis birds were sold at the centre of Hermopolis as votive offerings to Thoth, and thousands have been found in excavations of the necropolis Tuna el-Gebel nearby, as well as a large number of baboons and ibis birds found at a burial ground at Saqqara. This vast number of buried animals dedicated to Thoth...' Were these baboons and ibis birds killed for Thoth? Or were they artificial like shabti dolls?
Hi! They were real animals who were killed, buried and dedicated to Thoth.
I was looking for information on Fetket, the god who served drinks to Ra. Essentially making him the gods of bartenders but is there any more information on him?
Was Thoth the first philosopher?
I suppose you could consider him a philosopher in the mythological world.
Some say Ancient Egyptian rites were practiced all the way up to circa 700 AD / CE when Islamic armies conquered Egypt.
You're pronouncing it wrong! Thoth rhymes with both. It's a long O sound.
Thanks for the feedback.
Hey u r so beautiful .......................................................
Ningishzida's the very same being, Toth the Atlantean. Builder not he proclaims, this "Kufu" masquerades, RA, Amen builder of all 3, least the great pyramid, prisoned him, he, Marduk. Amun-Ra each day "Amen", blind by light the "Angel of light", Lucifer.
I love how the interpretation is always "if its gay its ALWAYS accidental..." Yeah...Set just "accidentally swallowed the semen of Heru..."
There is no such thing as ancient Egyptian that place was called Kemet. Everything Is Greek all the pyramids were built by the greeks. What they recently found in Afghanistan is a Greek plate that's bull crap there is no such thing as Afghanistan. Everything in the Middle East is Greek
Hahaha you don't even believe that ! The Rosetta Stone debunks your false theory ! Lol
