Description

Firstly excuse me if my picture may not be perfect but I've had resize and to compress a lot it because the limits of 512KB on Renderosity. The tradition links this mysterious object (in english known as "Emerald Tablet") to Egyptian culture, especially related to Thoth and his epic. I read a lot on the topic and some documents make me think that its origin should be related to ancient Sumerian culture, rather the Egyptians. So my work is a artistic interpretation of this idea. I hope you enjoy it.

Very interesting image. I just read about the "Emerald Tablet" at wikipedia. It does remind me of the myth styles of the ancient Middle Eastern myths (Babylonian, Sumerian, Egyptian, etc). The ancient Greeks probably learned them during Alexander's conquests of that region.
