Toth The God of Wisdom

[Thoth/Toth]

The  Emerald Tablets are
also referred to as the Secret
of Hermes 
or as Smaragdine
Table.
These tablets, are based on a very ancient
legend, and it belong to the Egyptian god Thoth.


The Emerald Tablets are actually a short section of a
bigger manuscript 
(documentation).


(Hermes; is the
Greek parellel to the Egyptian God Thoth).

         When the Greeks conquered Egypt, they did
not destroy, but they did change a lot, 
         much of which, we still use today. But
they did not conquer all the ancient wisdom, 
         which we see in what the Greeks
later created and failed to preserve.

       The History behind the Emerald Tablets?

         In the days of the Greek empire, the ancient
legends of the Egyptian gods and goddess 
         had long been forgotten, and as Socrates
said; for each generation much is lost..

There a two parallel sides to this
story if you ask me, one of which is based on Greek 
ideas, and the other was  the true ancient Egyptian version, the first 
(before the Greeks). But this belongs to another post.


         The first known documentation behind
this text, is known as the Kitab Sirr al-Asrar 
         (Secretum Secretorum), a
document of advice for Arabic rulers. It was said that 
         it was a letter from
Aristotle to Alexander the Great, but this is not proven.



         The Secretum Secretorum (arabic: Kitab
Sirr al-Asrar) was a treatise known 

         as Secret of Secrets, or the book of the
secret of secrets.



         It was an important Latin
translation of an Arabic document dating to the 10.th 

         century (but it is proven to be older around 500 AD), the document
contained 

         sacred knowledge about many different subjects such as Astronomy,
Astrology, 

         Alchemy, Magic, medicine as well as topics on Ethics and much more.

       Does this document really belong to the Great Hermes?

         Personally I would say no. To establish this, one must know more about Hermes 
         as a real person, distinguish fact from fiction. 
         Another point I would draw attention to, would be the fact that Hermes seems to 
         descend from the Egyptian god Thoth. The Greeks took many of the Egyptians god 
         and goddess, but they changed their names and attributes, as you can read 
         a little more about in the post Ancient Egyptian Astronomy

       The Emerald Tablets?

       Is an ancient scientific
statement but told through poetic symbolism.


         I do question if Aristotle wrote it, merely
because of its use of poetic lines as well 
         as codes. I think Aristotle might
have been more blunt, directly to the point in some 
         logical manner?

Document from around 500 AD.
