Yes. The temples at Borobudur remind of Bhagan and Angkor Wat indeed. Only the way they are planted into the landscape is different. Don't be mistaken by the apparent peace: the temple location may be quiet, but elsewhere in the area thousands of motorbikes are like ants nervously crawling all over the streets.
Though some ancient Egypt myths place him as a son of Ra, others say that Thoth created himself through the power of language. He was considered as the patron of knowledge, secrets, writing and scribes, a teacher of man, the messenger of the gods. In Egyptian mythology, Thoth was well-known as a counselor for the gods, who frequently went to seek for Thoth’s Thoughts and advice.
Thoth is considered a lunar deity. His totem animal was the baboon, a nocturnal animal that goes to sleep only after greeting the new day. Hence he was sometimes shown as a baboon, but most often Thoth appeared as a man with the head of an ibis holding a scribe's palette and stylus, or as a full ibis.
