There is an Isaac Newton translation of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth. It is a few lines in length. Additionally, there is a translation by Franco Fulcanelli, who was contemporary with Doreal.

What you are referring to is the Doreal 1921 Translation, which is a made-up story. Doreal said he found some heiroglyphs and translated them to English; these heiroglyphs were never produced or shown to anyone. Additionally, the story talks about Thoth building the pyramids; There is no Egypian source that ever talks about Thoth building the pyramids.

I could go on disproving these, but you get the idea. Basically, Doreal studied hermeticism, and read Newton, and studied some egyptology and created a fictional story.
