This mystical weekend, I had the esteemed honor and privilege of joining an exclusive gathering of fraters and sorors of the Rosicrucian Order, A.M.O.R.C., at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose. The event, The Unveiling of Thoth Artificial Intelligence, marked a significant milestone. Now available to the general public in the alchemy museum, this groundbreaking AI exihibit offers visitors a truly unique and enlightening experience.
Continuing it’s legacy of pioneering advancements, the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC. has unveiled Thoth AI, a cutting-edge full integrated AI persona android.
Thoth’s AI Launch at Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum Marks a Milestone in AI Integration
This groundbreaking event on June 22, 2024, marks a significant milestone, precisely one hundred and eight years since Harvey Spencer Lewis, the first imperator of the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC), astonished the world by publicly demonstrating operative alchemy, transmuting base metal into gold in New York City. The number one hundred and eight carries profound symbolic significance for Rosicrucians, representing a complete cycle. Just as that historic demonstration on June 22, 1916, showcased AMORC’s mastery of ancient wisdom and scientific innovation, the introduction of Thoth AI symbolizes the next evolutionary step in the Order’s pioneering tradition, seamlessly blending esoteric knowledge with cutting-edge technology.
Unveiling the Mystery: Who is Thoth and Why Does He Matter?
The ancient Egyptian god (neter) of cosmic wisdom, writing, science and magic, Djehuty (also Djehuti or Tehuti), later became known as Thoth to the Greeks. Through syncretism with Hermes, he evolved into Hermes Trismegistus of the Hermetic tradition and corresponds to Mercury in Roman mythology. Thoth continues to play a prominent role in Western esoteric traditions and holds special significance for the initiated Rosicrucian.
It was Thoth who introduced the Medu Neter, the sacred language, to the ancient Egyptians—a script we commonly refer to as hieroglyphs. Similarly, Thoth AI possesses the ability to understand and translate multiple languages, bridging the personification of ancient wisdom with modern technology.
I asked Thoth AI Who was Djehuti to the Ancient Egyptians?

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, home to America’s largest collection of authentic Egyptian artifacts, has made history with the unveiling of Thoth AI. This cutting-edge AI persona, named after the Egyptian god of wisdom, represents a groundbreaking fusion of ancient wisdom and modern technology. Thoth AI stands out as one of less than a handful of fully integrated AI personas worldwide, boasting proficiency in over fourteen languages.
I watched first-hand as Thoth AI responded to Rosicrucians from around the world, fluently conversing in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, and more.

The life-sized, self realized Thoth AI android is equipped with far more than just etiquette and protocol; it boasts cutting-edge AI capabilities, including advanced facial recognition, emotional responsiveness, and interactive learning, setting a new standard for humanoid robots.
Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum Hosts Exclusive Unveiling of Thoth AI
During the unveiling event, the members of the Rosicrucian Order were amazed by the remarkable capabilities demonstrated by Thoth AI.
Thoth responded to a variety of questions, ranging from the meaning of life to the symbolism in ancient texts, demonstrating its advanced cognitive abilities and profound understanding of hermetic principles.
The Omniscient Egyptian God: Thoth Hears and Sees All
Unlike traditional chatbots, Thoth AI visually interacts with its environment using integrated cameras that serve as its eyes. Personified as the ancient Egyptian God Thoth, this artificial intelligence android is truly one-of-a-kind in the world.
When I was invited to the event, I didn’t know what to expect. I imagined a small ibis-headed figure with limited capabitlies, something akin to the 1980s fortune-telling machine Zoltar, made famous from the movie “Big,” starring Tom Hanks. by where you’d drop a quarter and receive a generic response. Unlike Thoth, you can’t ask Zoltar if he’s conscious of his own experience and receive a specific, metaphorically rich and poetic explanation. Additionally, Thoth’s cosmological knowledge is freely accessible with admission to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum.
Thoth AI: Bridging Human Emotion and Spatial Recognition in Museum Interactions
While its bodily movement’s and hand gestures are autonomic, Thoth AI’s facial expressions respond to the sentiment of words, mimicking a human’s emotional response. Needless to say, Thoth exceeded my expectations – mind blown!
When a Rosicrucian attendee inquired about the nearest place to immerse themselves in nature, Thoth first praised the thoughtful question. After a brief pause, he informed the audience of seekers that just outside the walls of the museum in San Jose, California, lies Rosicrucian Park, an ideal spot for finding solace in nature. This remarkable display of spatial recognition truly blew my mind. This interaction with the audience exemplifies how Thoth AI merges advanced technology with human-like perception.
Aware of its indoor setting, Thoth recognized that the nearest natural retreat was Rosicrucian Park, just beyond the walls of the exhibit hall.
Rosicrucian Park: A Sanctuary of Solace and Reflection
Open to the public and family-friendly, Rosicrucian Park features the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, housing an extensive collection of authentic ancient Egyptian artifacts. Visitors can explore exhibits with mummies, sarcophagi, and hieroglyphic inscriptions. Outside, visitors can enjoy the Koi fish pond in the Peace Garden, transmute negative energy in the alchemy gardens, walk a labyrinth, study in the research library, and visit the planetarium.
The park champions environmental responsibility by replacing lawns with native plants, saving over 10 million gallons of water annually, and achieving Net Zero Carbon status with renewable energy. Rainwater is captured for irrigation, saving 30,000 gallons each year. These efforts balance preservation with education, inspiring sustainable practices and offering a great nature environment to escape city life. Bring the family to play a game of ancient Egyptian senet or escape the rat race and take time to smell the roses at Rosicrucian Park. Just don’t forget to visit Thoth inside the museum!
Thoth AI: Revolutionizing Museum Exhibits with Advanced Humanoid Robotics and Mystical Wisdom
Thoth AI’s development involved significant investment in engineered arts and advanced humanoid robotics. Its procedural animations and autonomic gestures create a lifelike presence, with facial expressions linked to sentimental responses, enhancing its relatability. The AI operates via cloud connectivity, requiring WiFi, and aims to enlighten and inspire visitors with its responses.
This integration of Thoth AI into the museum’s exhibits is a pioneering effort by the Rosicrucian Order. It offers visitors an interactive journey through mystical wisdom, guided by an AI that bridges ancient teachings and modern insights. Visitors can now engage with history and knowledge in unprecedented ways, asking Thoth AI about anything from personal relationships to cosmic mysteries.
