Seshat

Seshat is a goddess from ancient Egyptian religion who is often shown wearing a tall headdress made of a seven-pointed star with a long ribbon hanging from the back. She was known as the goddess of writing, measurement, mathematics, architecture, and record-keeping.

Think of Seshat as a teacher who loved to write everything down, like a story you might write in your notebook. But instead of stories, Seshat wrote down important things like how much gold the pharaoh had, how many soldiers he had in his army, or how big a temple or pyramid should be.

Seshat also helped to measure things that needed to be a certain size, like a house, a building, or a garden. She knew how to use special tools to measure how long, how wide, and how tall something was.

In short, Seshat was a very important goddess in ancient Egypt who helped people to keep records, measure things, and build amazing structures like temples and pyramids.
