Thoth

Note: Thoth is a key figure in the evolution of human civilization.

Thoth (Ibis, Bavian)

Hermes Trismegistus

Misor fathered Taaut, the god of letters and the inventor of the alphabet, who became the Egyptian Thoth, the god of history.

Taaut (Taautos or Tauthos)

Thouth

Chronos traveled to different regions of the habitable world, giving Egypt as a kingdom to the god Taaut, who invented the alphabet. The Egyptians called him Thoth, and he was depicted as “the god of letters, the clerk of the under-world,” bearing a tablet, pen, and palm-branch.

“From Misor came Taautos, who discovered how to write the first letters.

He is the one whom the Egyptians called Thouth, the Alexandrians Thoth, and the Greeks Hermes.

“These things being so, Sanchuniathon, who was a man of much learning and great curiosity, and desirous of knowing the earliest history of all nations from the creation of the world, searched out with great care the history of Taautus, knowing that of all men under the sun Taautus was the first who thought of the invention of letters, and began the writing of records: and he laid the foundation, as it were, of his history, by beginning with him, whom the Egyptians called Thouth, and the Alexandrians Thoth, translated by the Greeks into Hermes.”

Philo's passages show a jumbling together of Phoenician lore with Greek mythology, Zoroastrian beliefs and ancient Egyptian beliefs concerning the ibis-headed god Thoth, who in Philo is called Taautos or Tauthos.

Thoth, the Egyptian deity, is a prominent figure in ancient Egyptian mythology and religion.

Here are some key aspects of Thoth:

Thoth is often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis, an African wading bird.

Thoth was believed to be the scribe of the gods, responsible for keeping the universe in balance.

Thoth played a crucial role in various Egyptian myths.

In the famous myth of Osiris, Thoth is credited with helping Isis bring Osiris back from the dead.

Thoth was venerated in several areas of Egypt, particularly in the city of Khmun (Hermopolis) in Upper Egypt, which was considered his major cult center.

Thoth's imagery and attributes influenced other cultures and religions, including Greek, where he was associated with Hermes, leading to the composite deity Hermes Trismegistus in Hermeticism.

Thoth is often associated with the ibis, the baboon, the moon, and writing tools like reed pens and papyrus, symbolizing his connection with writing and knowledge.

In later periods, especially during the Hellenistic era, Thoth became associated with esoteric knowledge, alchemy, and the mysteries of the universe, contributing significantly to the Hermetic texts.

The legacy of Thoth is a testament to the rich and complex mythology of ancient Egypt, reflecting the culture's deep respect for knowledge, writing, and the workings of the divine.

The Hermopolitan Triad: This included Thoth, Seshat, and their child, Hornub.

Thoth was the god of writing and knowledge, Seshat was associated with writing and architecture, and Hornub was a less well-known deity.

Eluña channels spiritual and historical experiences, particularly focusing on an entity referred to as "Thoth" (though the transcript uses different representations like "th" or "TH").

Thoth is depicted as the keeper of ancient wisdom, holding the keys to universal knowledge including life and death, and playing a central role in the enlightenment of others.

The narrative delves into themes of transition and transformation, with the group experiencing a shift from physical to higher planes of existence while Thoth chooses to remain materially grounded to aid in human enlightenment and the reconstruction of a new city, reflecting the magnificence of Atlantis but adjusted for a new era and people.

Thoth is portrayed as transcending his ego, serving from a place of neutrality and higher purpose, and sharing profound wisdom about the universe and the interconnectedness of all things.

It suggests that by embracing these principles, individuals can contribute to a greater, unified goal, akin to the legendary achievements of Atlantis, under Thoth's guidance and teachings.

The narrative describes the efforts of a figure (implied to be Thoth) who stayed behind to lead the reconstruction of a city with great wisdom and knowledge, sharing insights that could potentially relate to pyramid-like structures or concepts, given the historical association between Thoth and ancient Egyptian culture.

Reconstruction of the Second City: The narrative suggests that Thoth, a figure associated with ancient wisdom, played a crucial role in the reconstruction of a city that surpassed even the wildest imaginations of its inhabitants.

Thoth, as a keeper of this ancient wisdom, is said to share these insights with the people of the new city, indicating that the knowledge from Atlantis was advanced, both technologically and spiritually.

Influence and Legacy: The influence of Atlantis is portrayed as extending beyond its own time and space, with its ideas, principles, and wisdom being passed down through figures like Thoth to new civilizations.

The teachings and laws from Atlantis, as shared by Thoth, are meant to elevate humanity and bring about a deeper understanding of the universe and one's place within it.

ThothIn Egypt, he became known as Thoth, the deity of wisdom, writing, and magic.

As Thoth, he continued his work on spiritual and cosmic matters, including the guidance of human consciousness and the encoding of sacred knowledge in symbols and texts, such as the Emerald Tablets.

Influence Across CulturesThe teachings and works of Chicquetet Arlich Vomolites, as Thoth, are suggested to have influenced various secret societies and spiritual traditions across the world, embedding ancient wisdom into different cultures and epochs.

Between 1650 and 1654, Athanasius Kircher (2 May 1602 – 27 November 1680) published four volumes of "translations" of hieroglyphs in the context of his Coptic studies. However, according to Steven Frimmer, "none of them even remotely fitted the original texts". In Oedipus Aegyptiacus, Kircher argued under the impression of the Hieroglyphica that ancient Egyptian was the language spoken by Adam and Eve, that Hermes Trismegistus was Moses
