Thoth is an ancient Egyptian Myth. There were eight characters in the story and they are, Shu the son of the sun god, Ra the king of Egypt, his daughter Nut, Geb another god , Thoth is the god of the moon, time and measure. Osiris and Isis, were also gods.
Nut fell in love with Geb and Shu was very jealous so he turned Nut into the sky and Geb into the earth. Then he cursed Nut so she couldn’t have children. Thoth, took pity of the couple. So he challenged the gods to a game of dice and he won. For his prize he wanted the gods to give him five days to Nut because the five days didn’t belong to any month. They didn't belong with Shu’s curse. So Thoth was able to make five kids, and a few of the children were Osiris and Isis.
I now know that the ancient egyptians added five days to the calendar and how to pronounce the gods names.
