Someone told me Thoth was a messenger god but I and everyone else are too dumb to understand what his message was.
Thoth was more than a messenger of a single message. Quoting Wikipedia:
He was the god of the Moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art and judgment.
Thoth played many vital and prominent roles in Egyptian mythology, such as maintaining the universe, and being one of the two deities (the other being Ma’at) who stood on either side of Ra’s solar barque. In the later history of ancient Egypt, Thoth became heavily associated with the arbitration of godly disputes,[6] the arts of magic, the system of writing, and the judgment of the dead.
Why is there so much overlap between gods? Anubis is god of death. Seker is god of death. Osiris is god of death, his sister and wife Isis is goddess of death. And these are the only ones I know of. Sure they were not only gods of death, but why have many gods who have “God of death” as a secondary ocupation?
