One of the mysterious books that contained great power and knowledge of distant ancestors is the mysterious emerald tablet.
It looks like an ancient text engraved on stone, which over time has become one of the most influential written relics of alchemy and the basis for a large amount of occult knowledge.
But, unfortunately, this object itself disappeared a long time ago, scientists and historians to this day argue about whether it really existed.
Based on the stories that have survived to this day, the emerald tablet contained magical secrets, the secrets of alchemy, the human mind, and perhaps even the universe itself.
According to legend, its creator was Hermes Mercury Trismegistus. This is a mysterious deity, which in ancient Greece was called Hermes, and in ancient Egypt the god Thoth. In the Christian tradition, he has long been considered a priest and philosopher who actually lived in the 5th century.
It is worth noting that Thoth - Atlas possessed a secret teaching, the legacy of the civilization of the lost Atlantis and was the builder of the Great Pyramid in Giza. In it, he integrated his knowledge of ancient wisdom and hid the chronicles of the ancient Atlanteans. He was the ruler of many Atlantean colonies, including the colonies of South and Central America.
According to Egyptian mythology, Thoth was revered as the God of wisdom, counting and writing, the patron of sciences, scribes, sacred books, the creator of the calendar.
So most are inclined to the version that the Emerald Table is from Atlantis, where it was created by the god Thoth 38 thousand years ago.

Most often, the tablet was described as a rectangular table of green material, presumably an emerald, on which various symbols and inscriptions were etched, including how to transform one matter into another. That is, the recipe for the creation of the so-called Philosopher's Stone, which the scientists of the Middle Ages raved about.
Legend has it that the Emerald Tablet was found in the 4th century BC by Alexander the Great in the tomb of Hermes, who was buried by Egyptian priests in the Great Pyramid of Giza.
There is evidence that in the 12th century the tablet was translated into Latin by the Spaniard Hugo Santalla, who was a famous translator from Arabic in those years.
In 1541 this translation was published in the treatise On Alchemy, signed with the name Chrysogon Polydorus.
