I am curious what people think about the supposed Atlantean named Thoth, who then fled to Egypt after the destruction of Atlantis.

He has an alternate name of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus and is the supposed author of the Emerald tablet(s).

I hear really good, and really bad things about him. I'm wondering if the bad reputation is because of Aleister Crowley and his book about Thoth, and Hermeticism.

Apparently he was self created, which is kinda strange. He is also the inventor or founder of Magic(k).

There are lots of stories about him, and even mosaics of him in churches


Here is a picture of a mosaic of Hermes "Thrice Greatest" (Trismegistus) from the Siena Cathedral which was originally a Roman Catholic church consecrated in 1215

Let me know what you think, or if you have even heard of him. Hoping someone has more to offer on the subject



Thanks
