I’m following this righteous instance of ark steadying with great interest. I see that Ms. Seariac recently outlined her philosophy on BYU education: My philosophy on BYU education: 1. Teaching by the Holy Spirit. 2. Promoting the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. 3. Teaching everything, but pointing...

You may be right. My Turkish is a bit rusty, so it’s difficult for me to tell what Engin has written. He does cite Gee and Muhlestein. See page 136 here: https://www.academia.edu/8741188/A_Loca ... llis_Illis.

Dr. Gee's discussion of Olishem in his latest book on the Book of Abraham lists several sources for "further reading," including the following: Engin, Attila. “Oylum Höyük İçin Bir Lokalizasyon Önerisi: Ulisumn / Ullis / İllis.” In Armizzi: Engin Özgen’e Armağan, 129-45.
