He calls himself Thoth, after the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom, and when he plays his violin at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park, people stop. |
Tawaret has the head of a hippo, Thoth the head of an ibis, and the great sun god Ra is rowed across the heavens in a boat. |

Thoth is represented in the shape of an ibis or as a man with the head of an ibis, or in the shape of a baboon. |
The ancient Egyptians considered hamadryas baboons to be the sacred attendants of Thoth, the scribe to the gods. |
