From Hermopolis to Hermes Trismegistus

8 Frog Serpent Gods 
Hermopolis an Egyptian city with an ancient god cult of eight frog and serpent deities 
Eight-ness representing primordial forces; Christening sinks are octagonal for that reason
ancient deities transmuted into Thoth and since praised in Hermapolis
some sources mention him emerge out of Indian monkey god Hanuman
Thoth is responsible for everything requiring mental or intellectual performance
creator of math, calendar, hieroglyphs 
his temple is famous for a huge library hidden in endless catacombs (pop reference: Asimovs Foundation & Empire :The Salvor Hardin Museum of Origins on Terminus!) of mysterious papyrus scrolls written by Thoth himself; holding all knowledge & wisdom of the world
During Hellenism Thoth was transmuted into Hermes Trismegistus - the threefold wise (more myth than god)
Trismegistus and the Hermetic Tradition
when Hermapolis was conquered it is said the conqueror found the grave of Hermes and him inside, resting with the emerald tableau in hand; 
on the tableau were drawn certain fundamental laws (sacred wisdoms & teachings)
Everything derived from these teachings is known under the term hermetic tradition
