The Emerald Tablets are claimed to be ancient texts written by the Atlantean priest-king Thoth, containing universal wisdom.

According to the texts themselves and their proponents, the Emerald Tablets are not merely human writings but divine revelations from Thoth, who is depicted as an immortal being from Atlantis. It's said that after Atlantis sank, Thoth brought these sacred writings to ancient Egypt, embedding profound spiritual and cosmological secrets within them. These secrets reportedly include laws of the universe, the nature of consciousness, and instructions for spiritual advancement, all presented as direct teachings from a highly evolved master.
