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.

EXCELLENT work!!!!!!
Beautiful composition. excellent work
Super cool work!
Interesting Image! I'm thinking the Emerald Tablet was written in the 12th or thirteenth century after the first crusades brought back literary knowledge from the middle east. It has a strong literary resemblance to other alchemical texts from the period but is far more obscure. I'd put it more into the category of philosophy than coded chemical formulas (like so many texts were)
This is a very good!
well done :))))))))))))
