Kothar-wa-Khasis vs Ptah

The craftsman god, 'Skilful and Wise', who makes Baal's two clubs, builds his palace of cedar and silver, and brings the fateful bow to the house of Danel.

Kothar-wa-Khasis has a double name, "Skilful and Wise", and is treated as a single god. He is the divine smith and builder, and he also knows incantations: when he names Baal's clubs he speaks words of power over them. His homes are far away, in Kaphtor (Crete) and Ḥkpt (Memphis, the city of the Egyptian craftsman god Ptah), which reflects Ugarit's position in a trading world that reached from the Aegean to Egypt.

Creator god and patron of craftsmen, head of the Memphite Triad. The Memphite Theology credits Ptah with creating the world and the other gods through the thought of his heart and the command of his tongue, rather than through physical acts alone.

Ptah was the chief god of Memphis, credited in the Memphite Theology, inscribed on the Shabaka Stone, with creating the other gods and the ordered world through the thought conceived in his heart and the words spoken by his tongue, rather than through physical acts of craftsmanship alone.

Ptah was the chief god of Memphis, one of ancient Egypt's most important cult centers, and head of the Memphite Triad alongside his consort Sekhmet and their son Nefertem. Depicted as a mummiform man in a tight skull-cap, holding a composite scepter combining the was (power), djed (stability), and ankh (life) signs, Ptah stood apart from Egypt's many animal-headed gods in his fully human, static form.
