The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean is a pseudohistorical book written by cult leader Maurice Doreal (1898–1963) and first published in the 1940s or early 1950s.
[2] The book Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean was authored in the wake of the Theosophical movement and the rising popularity of the fictional tales of H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937).
Written by Maurice Doreal, who in 1930 had founded the cult Brotherhood of the White Temple,[3] it was published in the 1940s or early 1950s, most likely before 1953.
[4] Works that had inspired Doreal in particular were The Dunwich Horror (1928) and Hounds of Tindalos (1929), as well as two fabled occult Egyptian texts, the Emerald Tablet and the Book of Thoth.
[6] Doreal's work was extensively used by David Icke, a promoter of the Reptilian conspiracy theory.
