I challenge Mormon Egyptologists at Brigham Young University to draft an article supporting the idea that Joseph Smith (Editor of Times and Seasons) was justified in stating that a king’s name is written in the writing of Facsimile No. 3. Then, let them present that article to their Egyptological pe...

Just a guess, but I would posit the singing of the award-winning song "I Believe" might be the desired action. Get those troubling thoughts out of your head with cheerful faith affirmations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVJgmp2Tc2s Faithful Mormons from President Nelson down to the lowest man on...

We may safely dismiss the Book of Abraham and the documents that comprise the Grammar & Alphabet of the Egyptian Language as a 19th century con that was ignorantly conceived and produced prior to Champollion’s cracki...

Sorry, just had an espresso. So also did John Gee at the end of his stupid Interpreter article: If we had the entire translation of the Book of Abraham, we might be able to see how Shulem might have fit into the story or know more about him. But we have all the characters in the registers above the...

ETA: the Proprietor has weighed in on the logo: If you examine the new logo design, you might perhaps see something like the rays of the sun. You might also see an open book. And you might even recognize an allusion to the emblem for the [sic] Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that was an...
