The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean

Product Information

From the 3rd or 2nd century BC, Greek texts attributed to the mythical character Hermes Trismegistus, holder of all knowledge, began to appear in Hellenistic Egypt. These texts, known as the Hermetica, are a heterogeneous collection of works that encompass alchemical, magical, astrological, and medicinal elements. They culminate in the mystical-philosophical treatises of the Corpus Hermeticum from the 2nd or 3rd century. In one of these works, the Koré Kosmou (the "Pupil of the World"), Hermes engraves and conceals his teachings before ascending to the heavens "so that every generation born after the world should seek them". [3] Wise were we with the wisdom of the Children of Light who dwelt among us. Strong were we with the power drawn from the eternal fire. And of all these, greatest among the children of men was my father, Thotme, keeper of the great temple, link between the Children of Light who dwelt within the temple and the races of men who inhabited the ten islands. Mouthpiece, after the three, of the Dweller of Unal, speaking to the Kings with the voice that must be obeyed. Grew I there from a child into manhood, being taught by my father the elder mysteries, until in time there grew within the fire of wisdom, until it burst into a consuming flame. Naught desired I but the attainment of wisdom. Until on a great day the command came from the Dweller of the Temple that I be brought before him. Few there were among the children of men who had looked upon that mighty face and lived, for not as the sons of men are the Children of Light when they are not incarnate in a physical body. Chosen was I from the sons of men, taught by the Dweller so that his purposes might be fulfilled, purposes yet unborn in the womb of time. The oldest known reproduction is a copy dated 1588-89 of a manuscript that was circulating anonymously at the time and was likely written in the second half of the 16th century by a German Paracelsian. The image was accompanied by a didactic alchemical poem in German titled Du secret des sages, [35] probably by the same author. The poem explains the symbolism in relation to the Great Work and the classical goals of alchemy: wealth, health, and long life. [36] Initially, it was only accompanied by the text of the Emerald Tablet as a secondary element. However, in printed reproductions during the 17th century, the accompanying poem disappeared, and the emblem became known as the Tabula Smaragdina Hermetis, the symbol or graphical representation of the Emerald Tablet, as ancient as the tablet itself.

Thoth-the-Atlantean

The alchemical secrets of control over matter, including its transformation, were known to the Great Initiates. But more important is that They had the higher secret knowledge about the structure of the universe and about the Creator of everything existing. It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” – Aristotle I visit that region quite often: I recreate the body for a short time — for a week, for ten days, for two days.

Doreal claimed that during a 1925 visit to the Great Pyramids of Giza, he discovered a set of ancient emerald tablets belonging to the Egyptian deity Thoth, whom he re-imagined as a king of Atlantis. Doreal then claimed to have translated the text, [1] which he published as the Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean. [2] Occult views [ edit ]

The Egyptians credited him as the author of all works of science, religion, philosophy, and magic. [25] The Greeks further declared him the inventor of astronomy, astrology, the science of numbers, mathematics, geometry, surveying, medicine, botany, theology, civilized government, the alphabet, reading, writing, and oratory. They further claimed he was the true author of every work of every branch of knowledge, human and divine. [21] Mythology [ edit ] Thus, by reproducing in itself the outer the soul, in essence, reproduces in itself the image of the multidimensional universe. The Tabula Chemica by Ibn Umail, in which the table is engraved with symbols, is translated as early as the 12th or 13th century. [26] Starting from 1420, extensive excerpts are included in an illuminated text, the Aurora consurgens, which is one of the earliest cycles of alchemical symbols. One of the illustrations shows the discovery of Hermes' table in a temple surmounted by Sagittarius eagles (representing the volatile elements). This motif is frequently used in Renaissance prints and is the visual expression of the myth of the rediscovery of ancient knowledge—the transmission of this knowledge, in the form of hieroglyphic pictograms, allows it to escape the distortions of human and verbal interpretation.

Plato mentions Thoth (as Theuth) in his dialogue Phaedrus. He uses the myth of Thoth to demonstrate that writing leads to laziness and forgetfulness. In the story, Thoth remarks to King Thamus of Egypt that writing is a wonderful substitute for memory. Thamus remarks that it is a remedy for reminding, not remembering, with the appearance but not the reality of wisdom. Future generations will hear much without being properly taught and will appear wise but not be so. [36]There was also an Egyptian pharaoh of the Sixteenth dynasty named Djehuty (Thoth) after him, and who reigned for three years. It is certainly interesting to see a group identified as Atlanteans associated so closely with the race of Titans. But is this reasonable? In fact, Leonard's hypothesis is, at best, tenuous. The work he assigns to Manetho which discusses the Auriteans initially appears in the work of the Byzantine chronicler George Syncellus, who died in the 9th century AD, and probably originated well after Manetho was writing: Gutschmid placed its creation towards the end of the 2nd century AD, while Meyer ascribes it to Panodorus, writing around AD 400. Gelzer holds the most optimistic opinion as to its antiquity, suggesting that it is derived from the work of Ptolemy of Mendes, but even Gelzer's putative source is no older than the Roman period in Egypt.
