What is Seshat?
[[File:Seshat edit2.svg|thumb|Seshat]] '''Seshat''' was the ancient [[Egypt]]ian idea of knowledge, shown as a [[deity|goddess]]. She became the goddess of [[writing]], [[astronomy]]/[[astrology]], [[architecture]], and [[mathematics]]. When [[Thoth]] became the god of wisdom, Seshat was seen as his daughter, or sometimes, as his wife. In [[art]], she was shown as a woman with a stylised papyrus plant above her head. This symbolised writing since the Egyptians wrote on a material that came from [[papyrus]]. ==Other websites== *[http://www.thekeep.org/~kunoichi/kunoichi/themestream/seshat.html thekeep.org] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070614174310/http://www.thekeep.org/~kunoichi/kunoichi/themestream/seshat.html |date=2007-06-14 }} *[http://www.egyptianmyths.net/seshat.htm egyptmyths.net] *[http://ancientegypt.co.uk/gods/explore/main.html ancientegypt.co.uk] {{Ancient Egyptian religion footer}} {{religion-stub}} [[Category:Egyptian gods and goddesses]]
