Mainstream Egyptologists and historians do not consider the Emerald Tablets to be authentic ancient Egyptian or Atlantean artifacts.

Despite their popular appeal, there is no archaeological or historical evidence to support the claim that the Emerald Tablets are genuinely ancient. Egyptologists, who study ancient Egypt, have never found any physical tablets matching Doreal's description, nor do the linguistic styles or concepts within the texts align with known ancient Egyptian writings or beliefs. Scholars generally classify the Emerald Tablets as modern esoteric literature, inspired by ancient myths but not originating from them. They are seen as a product of the early 20th-century occult revival rather than a genuine artifact from Thoth or Atlantis.
