Neter #Tehuti - 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. His chief shrine was located in the city of Khmun, later renamed Hermopolis. In that city, he led the local pantheon of the region known as the Ogdoad, and its eight principal deities. He also had numerous shrines within the cities of Abydos, Hesert, Urit, Per-Ab, Rekhui, Ta-ur, Sep, Hat, Pselket, Talmsis, Antcha-Mutet, Bah, Amen-heri-ab, and Ta-kens. He was often considered as the heart, which, according to the ancient Kemites, is the seat of intelligence or the mind, and tongue of the sun god Ra; as well as the means by which Ra's will was translated into speech. In the Kemetic sciences, he has played many vital and prominent roles in maintaining the universe, including being one of the two deities who stood on either side of Ra's boat. Later in ancient Egyptian history, 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. #kmt #kemet #nubia #nuwbia #ancientegypt #africanart #motherland #blackmagic #blackgods #thoth #neteru #mdwneter #hieroglyphs #scribe #africanhistory #kush #nilevalley
