r/EgyptianMythology

The text translated from polish: "Why Toth, the god of knowledge, was also a joyfull companion?: Thoth, god of wisdom and sciences, was often depicted with a head of an Ibis and with a quill in hand. However sometimes he took a form of a baboon and acted like a clown". The quote is from the polish version of the book: " L'Egypte: Pour répondre aux questions des enfants" (couldn't find an english version)

There isn't anything else written about this topic and it is somewhat vague. I had this book as a kid and liked the idea since I like the trope of a wise goofball.

The thing is I couldn't find anything that even suggested him being really joyfull or that the baboon form represented that. Is there something i'm missing (like anything that can suggest or says about something like that) or is it a misinterpretation from the author?

So the Netjeru are featured quite extensively among the roster along with deities from other pantheons, like Olympians and Aesir gods.

So these came from a mobile fighting game called Gods of Rome, apparently Ra, Anubis, Osirs and Seth are also part of the roster.

So I came across this artist from Hong Kong that drew these adorable arts of Anbuis, Bastet and Unut.

i’m studying Egyptian mythology for the first time and I’m trying to do research with books and the help of the Internet and this is what I got so far. but I’ve also read that Thoth laid Ra as an egg or that Ra made him through speech or his heart?

I know that like some gods are gods of multiple things I wrote magic for Isis I didn’t think I could fit any other word

I also read that Khepri Ra and Atum are all the same God just different times of the day?Morning, noon/midday and then afternoon and evening?

i’m confused, any help would be much appreciated

So the Netjeru that appears in the game are Seth, Anubis, Bastet and Horus.
