Baboon monkeys represented the god "Hajuti/Thoth" or Tut, the lord of wisdom for the ancient Egyptians, and one of the cosmic lords of Tamon, the Ashmounin in Egypt, in two different forms, either in the form of a bird "Ibis" (ibis), or in the form of a monkey (baboon), both of which were associated with the moon, usually What was depicted in the human form with the head of an ibis, which is the most depicted form of it in ancient Egyptian art, or depicted in the form of a sitting baboon, and a bird (Aibes), which became a symbol of the god “Thoth” appeared on the prayer halls from pre and early dynastic times.
The baboon or the god Thothy was on a degree of importance during the era of the Old Kingdom, and this is indicated by the reference to him in a number of paragraphs of the “Pyramid Texts.” He was also associated with the sun god “Ra”, as he was one of the two gods who accompanied “Ra” on his journey across The sky, and it is mentioned that the Lord of Heaven “Ra” was crossing the waterway or the celestial river on the wing of “Thoth.”
The town of "Ashmunin" was known, the home of the thamun as a main center for its worship, then it became a general god throughout Egypt, and "Thoth" merged into the theology of "Ain Shams" during the old state, and was associated with "Osiris", "Ra" and "Hoor" And he was known as (Ibn Ra), as some legends mentioned that he healed or cured the eye of Horus, which was associated with the moon. He was also frequently represented as a messenger and mediator between the lords, as in the legend of the struggle between "Horus" and "Set".
The Egyptians attributed to the monkey “Thoth” the invention of writing, and therefore he became (the scribe of the ninth who records “holy words”), and he was responsible for all numbers and calculations, because he is (the master of time and time) and (the predeterminer of the years), so he was recording and calculating the years. past, granting longer years to the kings.
The monkey "Thoth" was the lord of all places of knowledge, and the writing of all letters fell under his supervision as (the master of the house of life), and it is not surprising that the monkey "Thoth" was familiar with secrets and magic works unknown even to other lords.
Thoth played an important role in the afterlife. We find him in the scene accompanying chapter 125 of “The Book of Exodus in the Daytime” (the Book of the Dead) standing in front of the scale (in which the heart of the deceased is weighed) to record the result to determine the fate of the deceased. This role was given to me. Thoth" a reputation for justice and uprightness.
The importance of 'Thoth' as ​​the moon's lord remained an important aspect of his personality. It was placed in cosmic symmetry with the sun god, as an embodiment of the night sun.
There are dozens of statues and figures of the god "Thoth" in the form of an ibis or a baboon, belonging to different historical eras, and many of these statues are in the Egyptian Museum, and thousands of mummified mummies of the bird ibis, or the holy baboon monkey, were found in the "Tuna" cemetery. the mountain".
The name "Thothmose" appeared in the names of many kings of the modern state, who bore the name "Thutmose" (Thutmose), meaning: (the son of "Thothmuse"), or: ("Thoth" was born), and this illustrates the royal importance that it had. his worship.
Also, the early evidence for mentioning the festival of the monkey or the deity “Thothi” in the offering forms in the tombs of individuals during the era of the ancient and middle states confirms the importance and status that this deity enjoyed among the common people.
His worship and sanctification has spread across many regions throughout the country, and it is uncertain whether “Khmenu” (Al-Ashmounin) in Middle Egypt was his first center of worship or not, but it is certain that it was his main center of worship during the different historical ages.
Perhaps the Thoth monkey had an early place of worship in the Delta, specifically in the fifteenth region, where the "Ibis" was a symbol of this region.
The Thoths had places of worship in the Delta, the Kharga oasis, and Serabit al-Khadem in Sinai, and a little to the west of Ashmounin, specifically in Tuna al-Jabal. There is a cemetery containing thousands of mummies of an ibis and a mummified monkey, presented as a votive offering for this idol.
Another huge cemetery for an ibis and a monkey was also found in Saqqara. These burials reflect the extent of the spread achieved by the popular religion of the god "Thoth" during the late ages
Many amulets were also found that embody "Thothi" in the form of an ibis or a monkey, as mentioned in many papyri and magical and religious texts.
