__The low down on Thoth! __



Thoth was one of the earliest Egyptian Gods and is one of the most important god in egypt. He was associated with Speech, art, literature, learning and the moon. Thoth's head represents the shape of an ibis and the rest of his body is a human man. Thoth's name is very popular in Greece like Thoout, Thōth, Thoot, Thau. Ra and Thoth are related because Ra is the father of Thoth and Thoth is the son of Ra.
