Thoth was the god of wisdom, knowledge and patron of scholars and libraries. He also decided the fate of people after their death. Anubis placed the heart of a person on the one side of the scale , on the other, Thoth placed the feather of the goddess Maat. And if the heart turned out to be lighter than the feather, then the soul of the mortal went to the Egyptian paradise.
