In this ceramic figurine, Thoth, the deity of Writing and Knowledge, is depicted as a baboon. Thoth, the god associated with wisdom, learning, science, and medicine, was also a patron of art and scribes who recorded the judgment of the deceased in the underworld.

While Thoth is often portrayed with the head of a sacred ibis bird and the body of a man, he also takes on the form of a baboon, as shown in this representation.

Thoth, the God of Writing and Knowledge, in the Form of a BaboonThoth, the God of Writing and Knowledge, in the Form of a BaboonUnlike the sun disk, it is uncertain whether the moon was worshipped as a deity in ancient Egypt, and the evidence suggests that it was more likely considered a symbol or manifestation of specific deities associated with the moon.

Among these deities, the most prominent were Horus, Iah, and Thoth, although the lunar disk was also a symbol of Osiris according to the mythology surrounding that god.

Furthermore, 14 individual deities were sometimes linked to the waxing moon, while another 14 were associated with the waning moon.

When depicted as a baboon, Thoth symbolized those creatures that greeted the sun at dawn, thus establishing a connection to the sun god Re.

Baboons played a role in early Egyptian festivals, but they later became significant to the Early Dynastic Kings of Horus. The Egyptians associated Thoth with rebirth and the afterlife.

Thoth was one of the most cultured deities in the entire Egyptian pantheon: he was believed to have invented the art of writing and excelled in medicine, mathematics, and science. His vast knowledge was only surpassed by his moral integrity, a characteristic that led him to become the messenger and peacemaker of the gods.
