Toth is the god of art magic knowledge and writing in Ancient Egypt. In the painting, the Scribe who writes history sits across the God in the form of a Baboon and his presence is everywhere in the garden through his sacred animals, the baboon and the Ibis birds. The garden once belonged to a magnificent villa that existed in the Golden Age of Ancient Egypt. But those times are past now, the Villa has been demolished, and nature and animals have surrounded its garden and pool. A peasant woman is walking through the garden with her basket. A small pyramid tomb is seen in the background. This pyramid tomb does not belong to the Pharaoh, but to one of the artists of the times in the craftsmen's village called Medinet Habu. He had a small, modest pyramid built as a reminder of his immortality.

Sobek is considered the god of the Nile and all waters. He is also a fearsome and destructive god. The crocodile is his sacred animal also his image is the crocodile. The painting is a scene from Aswan Southern Egypt, the lands closer to Africa where Nubian people live. Sobek's presence is everywhere in the painting through crocodiles. In the middle is a large pool that was once the sacred pool of a large temple, now covered with water lilies, but a small temple chapel is visible, big enough for one village. Children are playing with crocodiles. Crocodile care in Aswan is an old tradition in Nubian villages, when they reach a certain size, they release the crocodiles back into the river.
