Depicted as a man either with the head of a baboon or an ibis, Thoth was known as the keeper and recorder of all knowledge, and as the inventor of language. When depicted as a baboon, which was a much more unusual occurrence that as an ibis, Thoth became A’an, god of equilibrium. He was present at the ceremony when the deceased heart is weighed against the feather of Ma’at after death.
