Thoth was revered for his association with knowledge, writing, and healing. In a funerary context, Thoth was probably linked to his role as the recorder of the final judgment, which determined whether the deceased had lived a life of virtue. A positive report ensured the rebirth of the deceased in the eternal Afterlife. Neith was a prominent deity in ancient Egyptian mythology, revered as a warrior and mother goddess. Her cult gained significant importance during the Ramesside dynasties when she became closely associated with the sun god. Neith was known for her fierce protection and maternal guidance. -
