	'''Thoth''', is an ancient Egyptian deity. The name translates to "He is like the Ibis". Originally a moon god he gradually became seen as a god of wisdom, magic, and the measurement and regulation of events and of time. He was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon; both animals sacred to him. It's thought the curve of the ibis beak reflects the curve of the crescent moon. His feminine counterpart was Seshat, and his wife was Ma'at or Nehmetawy. He was the god of wisdom, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art, nerds, judgment, and the dead.

	Thoth played many vital and prominent roles in Egyptian mythology, such as maintaining the universe, and being one of the two deities (the other being Ma'at) who stood on either side of Ra's solar-powered barge. In the later history of ancient Egypt, Thoth became heavily associated with the arbitration of godly disputes, the arts of magic, the system of writing, the development of science, and the judgment of the dead.

	This mythology also credits him with the creation of the 365-day calendar. Originally, according to the myth, the year was only 360 days long and Nut was sterile during these days, unable to bear children. Thoth gambled with the Moon for 1/72nd of its light (360/72 = 5), or 5 days, and won. During these 5 days, Nut and Geb gave birth to Osiris, Set, Isis, and Nephthys.
