What would Thoth's brain look like, if he was real?

I like thinking of mythologies as other people analyse popculture, scientifically. So I am curious, What would Thoth's (We'll gonna assume he is all-knowing) brain look like, if he was real, as compared to our brains?

P.S. one human brain you have right under

Apparently ancient Egyptians did not reckon the brain was important ...

So a bird-brained God would not be an embarrassment to them ...

His brain would be big.

If by "all-knowing", you're including the answers to every possible mathematically equation, then it would have to be infinitely large.

To know the whereabouts of every atom in Thoth's brain, he would need a bigger brain. This, in turn would need a bigger brain to record all the positions of all the atoms in it... and so on.

I wasn't kidding about "big"

Okay, let's clean it up. As "all-knowing" we could define all the facts, theories, battles and so on. Not necessarily "position of every atom in the universe". And, with that equations, we can conclude he knows all the equations, plus basic results(7*8=56 and so on) Other equations he could rightly compute.

If he doesn't know where every atom in the Universe is, then he doesn't know all the facts.

Trick answer: Thoth's brain would be the universe! (or whatever the universe is a holographic projection of/from)
