Statue of Thoth or Tut the god of wisdom made of alabaster stone

Thoth or Tut, god of wisdom among the Pharaohs, one of the cosmic gods of Thamon Al Ashmonin It is considered one of the most important ancient Egyptian deities, and is depicted with the head of an ibis .. His female counterpart was the goddess Maat. His main shrine was in Eshmun, where he was the main deity there.

The ancient Egyptians considered that the god Thoth was the one who taught them writing and arithmetic, and he was always depicted holding a pen and writing a tablet on it. He has a fundamental role in the court of the dead, where the deceased is brought after the resurrection to perform the operation to weigh his heart in front of the feather of truth, Maat. Thoth records the result of the scale. If the heart of the dead is heavier than the feather of truth – so he is one of the sinners – he is thrown in his heart to a ferocious, imaginary monster named Amamut that devours him and this is the eternal end of the dead. But if the heart is lighter than the feather of truth (Maat), then this means that the dead person was righteous in this world and enters heaven in which he will live with his wife and loved ones, after Osiris receives him.
