Thoth


Thoth is an Ancient Egyptian Myth. Shu, Ra, Newt, Geb, Thoth, Osiris and Isis are the characters played in this story. When Newt fell in love with Geb, Shu was jealous. He tried to keep them far apart so he turned Newt into the sky and turned Geb into earth. He also cursed Newt with barrenness. There were no days of the year for her to give birth. Until Thoth the god of the moon, time and measurement took pity on Newt and Geb. He challenged the reigning gods to a game of dice. He won and he wanted a prize of 5 days so he could give it to the goddess of the sky Newt. The five were not apart of any month of the year the cursed was not under Shu. Thus was able to use them to produce children. My learning of this story is that Thoth is an Ancient Egyptian Myth.
