Ever since ancient Egypt and Greece, when people gathered in temples to worship the gods, people have wondered if the Thoth and Hermes were the same deity.<\/p>\n
The idea that the Egyptian god Thoth and the Greek god Hermes are the same deity first became popular in 500 BC, when the two cultures started mixing. Later the name Hermes Trismegistus was created to refer to both deities as one, and he is considered the creator of the system of philosophy known as Hermeticism.<\/strong><\/p>\n Some believe that Thoth taught the Egyptian priests how to read and write, as well as esoteric knowledge of the universe. He then returned and helped create the ancient Greek civilization by teaching Pythagorus. His origins can be traced back to the lost civilization of Atlantis.<\/p>\n
