Thoth was the god of wisdom, and often associated with the art of writing and the judgment of death. He is present at the weighing of the heart ceremony, recording the measurements of the scales. He is most commonly depicted with the head of an Ibis - an Egyptian bird with a long thin beak - and less commonly as a baboon.
