God of Intelligence Thoth
Thoth was considered one of the more important deities of the Egyptian pantheon. In art, he was often depicted as a man with the head of
an ibis or a baboon ; these animals were sacred to him.
His feminine counterpart was Seshat.

He was often considered as the Heart and Tongue of the Sun God Ra.. .
The ancient Egyptians, believed that the heart is the seat of intelligence, and
is involved in the mind. Also, a reading of the inscriptions designates Thoth
as the means by which Ra's will was translated into speech.
The history of philosophy relates Thoth to both the Logos of Plato and the
"Nous" or the 'Mind' of God. In Egyptian mythology, he has played many
vital and prominent roles in holding the (logical) order found in the universe.
Specifically, Thoth is shown as one of the deities (the other being Ma'at.. ) standing on one side of the boat in which the Sun God 'Re' moves across the
sky, to help guide RAe's boat through the 'dry air' and 'light' given by Shu.

Later inscriptions describe Thoth as a central figure in settling godly disputes,
.in providing the arts of magic and science, in providing a writing system,.
and in the judgment of the dead. (See: 'Weighing of the Heart,' below. ) ~~~~.
In Khemennu (Hermopolis ), he led eight deities known as the Ogdoad ('Eight-fold').
Each is paired: "Nu" and Naunet [primordial waters], A'mun' and Amunet [air or invi-
sibility], Kuk and Kauket [darkness], and: Huh and Hauhet [eternity or infinite space].

Etymology
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
According to Theodor Hopfner, Thoth's Egyptian name written as ḏḥwty originated
from ḏḥw, claimed to be the oldest known name for the ibis although normally writ-
ten as hbj. The addition of -ty denotes that he possessed the attributes of the ibis.
Hence his name means "He who is like the ibis".

The Egyptian pronunciation of ḏḥwty is not fully known, but may be reconstructed
as *ḏiḥautī, based on the Ancient Greek borrowing Θωθ Thōth or Theut and the
fact that it evolved into Sahidic Coptic variously as Thoout, Thōth, Thoot, Thaut
as well as Bohairic Coptic Thōout. The final '-y' may even have been pronounced
as a consonant, not a vowel. However, many write "Djehuty", inserting the letter
'e' automatically between consonants in Egyptian words, and writing 'w' as 'u', as
a convention of convenience for English speakers, not the transliteration employed
by Egyptologists.

Not counting differences in spelling, Thoth had many names and titles, like other goddesses and gods.
Similarly, each Pharaoh [Egypt.: 'pr a~A'], considered a god himself, had five different names used in public.
Accordingly, names for Thoth are A , Sheps, Lord of Khemennu, Asten, Khenti, Mehi, Hab, and A'an.

In addition, Thoth was also known by specific aspects of himself, for instance the moon god
Iah-Djehuty, representing the moon for the entire month, or as: 'it nTr' ['nether'], or 'god father.'

The Greeks related Thoth to their god Hermes due to his similar attributes and functions.
One of Thoth's cryptic titles, "Three times great, great" was translated to the Greek
as: "τρισμεγιστος" (or: 'Tris-meg-is-tos') making the modern: 'Hermes Trismegistus.'
