Gods of Ancient Egypt – Thoth

Description

Thoth: The History of the Ancient Egyptian God of Wisdom

Step into the luminous halls of ancient Egypt and meet Thoth—ibis‑headed scribe of the gods, keeper of sacred knowledge, and master of time itself. Revered for over six millennia, Thoth shaped the spiritual and intellectual heart of Egyptian civilization.

This richly researched volume traces his journey from predynastic origins to his role in the great temple cults, exploring his many aspects:

God of Writing, Magic, and Wisdom – Patron of scribes and guardian of divine law

Creator and Cosmic Judge – Balancing the scales of Ma’at in the Hall of Truth

Lunar Deity and Timekeeper – Measuring the heavens and guiding the calendar

Psychopomp and Healer – Escorting souls through the Duat and restoring cosmic order

Drawing on archaeological evidence, temple inscriptions, magical papyri, and ancient hymns, the book reveals how Thoth’s influence extended from the Pharaoh’s court to the humblest village shrine. It also examines his later fusion with Hermes Trismegistus, bridging Egyptian and Hellenistic worlds.

Lavishly detailed yet accessible, this work is ideal for:

Historians and Egyptologists

Students of mythology and comparative religion

Spiritual seekers drawn to ancient wisdom traditions

Readers who are captivated by the mysteries of the Nile.

Immerse yourself in the legacy of the god who wrote the universe into being—and discover why Thoth’s voice still echoes in the quest for truth today.
