Egyptian
Thoth
The ibis-headed god of ancient Egypt who was the scribe of the gods, linked with writing, wisdom and the moon.
Thoth was an ancient Egyptian god of writing, wisdom, counting and the moon, shown with the head of an ibis or sometimes as a baboon. The Egyptians credited him with inventing writing, and he acted as the scribe of the gods, recording what happened, including the weighing of the heart.
In one old tale he wins extra days of moonlight from the moon in a game of dice, which made five extra days in the year. His name is usually said something like "Toht" or "Thoth", and scholars use slightly different spellings, so do not worry about getting it exactly right. His centre of worship was the city of Hermopolis.
