Yes, Sir Isaac Newton thought the Emerald Tablets of [atum/osiris/]Hermes concerned some unknown alchemical process. This has long been the belief and ironically enough it is only correct in a left handed sort of way. It does actually concern the production of the "philosopher's stone" in a natural process of deposition of calcium carbonate, siderite, "slaked lime", and a few other compounds and elements from highly carbonated water as it degasses. Alchemy itself is a confusion of ancient science that is attempting to recreate an effect rather than the cause.

7) If cast to (turned towards- versa fuerit) earth,
7a) it will separate earth from fire, the subtile from the gross.

When the water comes down (cast to earth) it separates the solar element that caused it to go up (the CO2 that the Egyptians called "i3.t-wt.t" also known as osiris' corpse drippings) from the dissolved solids.

Another translation;

Quote

7a) Separate the earth from the fire, so you will attain the subtle as more inherent than the gross, with care and sagacity.

Earth is separated from CO2.

Or if you're the scientific type and want it stated more eloquently;

Quote

7a) and earth will separate from fire. The impalbable separated from the palpable.

"Fire" is the solar element CO2 and, except as dry ice, is quite impalpable.

The Emerald Tablets is almost a perfect statement of the cause and effects of pyramids and building.

1) True, without falsehood, certain, most certain.

2) What is above is like what is below, and what is below is like that which is above. To make the miracle of
the one thing.

3) And as all things were made from contemplation of one, so all things were born from one adaptation.

4) Its father is the Sun, its mother is the Moon.

5) The wind carried it in its womb, the earth breast fed it.

6) It is the father of all 'works of wonder' (Telesmi) in the world.

6a) Its power is complete (integra).

7) If cast to (turned towards- versa fuerit) earth,

7a) it will separate earth from fire, the subtile from the gross.

8) With great capacity it ascends from earth to heaven. Again it descends to earth, and takes back the power
of the above and the below. 9) Thus you will receive the glory of the distinctiveness of the world. All obscurity will flee from you. 10) This is the whole most strong strength of all strength, for it overcomes all subtle things, and penetrates all solid things. 11a) Thus was the world created. 12) From this comes marvelous adaptions of which this is the proceedure. 13) Therefore I am called Hermes, because I have three parts of the wisdom of the whole world. 14) And complete is what I had to say about the work of the Sun, from the book of Galieni Alfachimi.

It ascends from earth to heaven and takes back the power of the above and below. It is this exact same power generated by the falling henu boat that lifts the stones to build the pyramid.

It might also be mentioned that it can't seem to be traced back further than Al Mamuum who just happened to have been the first person in the Great Pyramid. I seriously doubt this is a coincidence.

This really is the problem. Ancient people said what they meant but we can't understand it. Just as the authors of the Emerald Tablets couldn't understand it so they put it in their own words which confuse the original intent. When we don't understand something we should be very leery of assigning meanings to words but instead this is where modern people rush into judgement and we've been doing it (wrong) for 4,000 years. Despite the impossibility of understanding what the other guy means we assume we know exactly what he means and this is exactly why we think our ancestors were stinky footed bumpkins.

I can't understand the Emerald Tablets but can make many guesses about the nature of the original source which would have been completely understandable due to the nature of ancient language. It will take half a century of study and scholarship to fully understand it but there will be little room for confusion in a language that is tied directly to reality, or more accurately, to scientific theory. :)
