"The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean"

Distinct from the (authentic) brief Hermetic text known as the Emerald Tablet, this work is a pseudohistorical volume penned by Maurice Doreal (1898–1963), a cult figure who established the Brotherhood of the White Temple in 1930 (https://brotherhoodofthewhitetemple.com/). Released in the 1940s or early 1950s—likely prior to 1953—this book draws inspiration from ancient Egyptian lore and the eerie, reptilian-themed tales of H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937). It explores themes such as Atlantis, a mysterious race of serpent-faced beings, alchemy, and a broad spectrum of mystical subjects. Its creation coincided with the surge of the Theosophical movement and the growing fascination with Lovecraft’s fictional universe. Doreal falsely asserted that his book was a translation of ancient tablets he had discovered within the Great Pyramid of Giza in 1925, a claim that fuelled its mystique. Deespite the prevailing colonial attitudes, the act of removing them from the site at this time would have been illegal. Influenced by occult Egyptian writings, including the Emerald Tablet and the legendary Book of Thoth, Doreal’s work later became a key reference for David Icke, a notable advocate of the Reptilian conspiracy theory.

Structured into 15 tablet-like chapters, the text unfolds through enigmatic poetry, touching on alchemy, the essence of the cosmos, spiritual insights, the lost city of Atlantis, and philosophical musings.
