This subject contains information from the Expanded Cthulhu Mythos, and not based on H.P. Lovecraft's works directly. The Zanthu Tablets are a series of occult writings created by the late American author Lin Carter for his short story "The Dweller in the Tomb". Carter describes them as written by Zanthu the hierophant, and relates that they were discovered by the Copeland-Ellington expedition. They were translated by Harold Hadley Copeland into English from Naacal, the original language of Muvians (EXP: "The Dweller in the Tomb" Lin Carter).
