Thoth was a key Egyptian god, known for his roles in wisdom, writing, and the moon. He also governed magic, rituals, and medicine, guiding the dead in the underworld and protecting the living. As the inventor of writing, he was the patron of scribes. Thoth played essential roles in Egyptian mythology, helping maintain the universe and standing beside Ra's solar boat. Over time, he became linked with resolving disputes among gods, magic, writing, and judging the dead.
