Esoteric interpretation

The Tablets of Thoth motif represents wisdom imagined as ancient, hidden and recoverable. In the map, that makes awakening a rediscovery of knowledge rather than a purely modern invention. The title is easy to confuse with the historically older Emerald Tablet of Hermes. They should remain distinguished: a historical Hermetic text does not authenticate every later story presented as a translation of secret ancient tablets.
