Thoth was one of the most important gods in ancient Egyptian mythology. He was the god of wisdom, writing, and knowledge, and was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon.

Thoth was associated with writing and was believed to have invented hieroglyphics, the ancient Egyptian writing system. He was also associated with science, medicine, and magic, and was believed to have the power to heal and to communicate with the gods.

Thoth was often depicted as a scribe, and was believed to keep records of the deeds of the gods and the dead. He was also associated with the afterlife, and was believed to help guide the souls of the dead on their journey to the underworld.

The worship of Thoth continued throughout Egyptian history, and his influence can still be seen in modern Egyptian culture and religion.
