Thoth was the God of the sacred word.
His job (within the afterlife) was to read the texts by which to judge the purity or guilt of the heart of the deceased.
In order to pass through to the afterlife, Thoth had to announce that the deceased was not wicked at heart by recounting his misdeeds and deeds.
