The Emerald Tablet and the Secrets of Alchemy #shorts #short #egypt #thoth

The Emerald Tablet is a compact and cryptic lost artifact believed by history’s greatest alchemists to harbor the secret of the Philosopher’s Stone, a substance which supposedly transmutes base metals such as lead into gold. The 14 stanzas of the Emerald Tablet are undoubtedly the very foundation of European alchemy, though the original artifact has been lost for at least 1200 years. The only hint to its origin is its author, a figure as ancient and mysterious as the text itself: Hermes Trismegistus.
