Which god was represented by an ibis bird?

The story behind the answer

Thoth is the correct answer: he’s the Egyptian god of wisdom, writing, and the moon, commonly depicted with the head of an ibis (and sometimes as a baboon). The ibis’s long, curved beak evoked a writing reed, fitting Thoth’s role as the divine scribe who recorded the judgments of souls. In contrast, Horus is a falcon-headed sky god, Isis wears a throne-shaped crown, and Osiris is a mummified king.

Memory tip: Thoth sounds like “thought,” linking him to wisdom and learning. Picture an ibis dipping its beak like a pen into ink—Thoth writing the world’s knowledge. He’s credited with inventing hieroglyphs and mediating disputes among the gods, reinforcing his identity as Egypt’s ultimate intellectual and recorder.
