The book of Thoth is what caught my attention the most for this reading. Again with this unit the reference to a box or chest, this one has the mystical tablets of Thoth under magical spells in the river. In the Two Brothers stories a virgin of the pharaoh drops her emerald stone from her hair into the river, and his scribe ( Thoth? He is a scribe) divides the waters to retrieve the lost stone for her. Parting waters reminds me of Moses story of parting waters on the exodus of Egypt. What kind of magic or technology did these ancients have? Since this story predates the exodus, did the story get retold? Also, the tablets seem to be like the philosophers stone, making a person very powerful. I can see why it should be hidden. Reminds me too of the Nicolas Flamel books, about the alchemical book of Abraham.
