==In popular culture== {{unreferenced section|date=August 2024}} The ''Book of Thoth'' is often featured in fiction with Egyptian or supernatural themes. Novels that do so include ''[[Brood of the Witch-Queen]]'' <ref>{{Cite Wikisource |title=Brood of the Witch Queen|last=Rohmer| first=Sax| year=1918}}</ref> (1918) by [[Sax Rohmer]]; ''[[Moses, Man of the Mountain]]'' (1938) by [[Zora Neale Hurston]]; ''[[Mumbo Jumbo (novel)|Mumbo Jumbo]]'' (1972) by [[Ishmael Reed]]; ''The Rosetta Key'' (2008) by [[William Dietrich (novelist)|William Dietrich]]; and ''[[The Serpent's Shadow (Riordan novel)|The Serpent's Shadow]]'' (2012) by [[Rick Riordan]]. The ''Book'' plays a role in [[Henry H. Neff]]'s juvenile fantasy series ''The Tapestry'', Lisa Maxwell's young adult series ''[[The Last Magician]]'', and [[Lynne Ewing]]'s young adult series ''[[Sisters of Isis]]''. The "Book of Thoth" is mentioned in several stories by [[H. P. Lovecraft]], most notably "[[Through the Gates of the Silver Key]]", where it is linked with [[Yog-Sothoth]], an alien entity worshiped by sages and magicians. The ''Book of Thoth'' also appears in video games. For example, it is a side-quest element in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey]]''. In both the multi-player online battle arena ''[[Smite (video game)|Smite]]'' and ''Board Game Online'', the ''Book of Thoth'' is a usable item. In [[Sid Meier]]'s ''[[Civilization VI]]'', it is present as a holy relic that generates faith and tourism. In ''[[The Fool's Errand]]'', it represents the overarching meta-puzzle that must be unlocked and solved to complete the game. In the third arc of the [[manga]] (and [[anime]]) ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', the antagonist Boingo's supernatural ability is named Thoth and takes the form of a fortune-telling comic book whose premonitions appear as illustrations on its initially-blank pages. In the Japanese novel (and anime) ''[[Myriad Colors Phantom World]]'', the protagonist has an ability called "The Book of Thoth". The ''Book of Toth'' and the tomb of ''Nefer-Ka-Ptah'' also are animated in the short film ''The riddle of the Sphinx'', directed by the Ukraïnian director ''Vladimir Pekar'' (1985). The ''Book of Toth'' is mentioned in [[American Gods (season 2)|Season 2]] Episode 3 (Muninn) of ''[[American Gods (TV series)|American Gods]]''.
