Thoth has long been my favourite ancient Egyptian anthropomorphism. Pick a deity, any deity. Your credulance is worth less than another's coin. Shall we spill some blood in sacrifice? Oh look, the water's rising, see you next year with your rudimentary approximation of calcuable area. How's Osiris getting on?
Something incredibly alluring about his lore.

Thoth, or Hermes Trismegistus. Something incredibly alluring about his lore.
Since Thoth is a shapeshifter, who knows their true name. Always comes in waves of three though.
Where these gods all concurrent? It would be interesting to see how they fade in and fade out over the 3,000 of ancient Egypt history. The civilization in some for or another existed form longer than the time that has elapsed between now and the founding of Rome.
Some in the list are not even different gods, just different names of the same God, and some are "recent" synchretic gods, when Greek/Roman ones merged with previous ones.
Fascinating stuff!
I often joke (well, mostly to myself) that Horus was actually the First Avenger.
So, your idea seems plausible in some parallel earth-xyz :)
It’s baffling to me that some people actually feel information like this is competing with their personal beliefs and must be shut down.
When the black Nubian pharaohs reunited Egypt in the 8th century BC, they restored his temples in Memphis and claimed to have found an ancient first dynasty scroll that they copied to "the Shabaka Stone".
