Thoth was the Egyptian god of wisdom and knowledge. Honoured as the inventor of writing and the founder of branches of learning such as art, astronomy, medicine, law, and magic, he was the patron god of scribes.
Ancient Egyptians associated Thoth with the moon and identified him as the son, or heart and tongue, of Ra, the supreme sun god.
According to legend, Thoth possessed books of wisdom that contained secret information about nature and magic. Although the books were hidden, certain
scribes had access to them.
