For those of us who have not had time to listen to it yet can someone summarize Gee's confession?
Thanks

You see, Joseph Smith really did know how to translate Egyptian, because Kerry says so. Time to go back to church. You too, RFM. And Shirts.Muhlestein wrote:Abraham names a spot nearby as the plains of Olishem (see Abraham 1:10). This is a name that no one had heard of during Joseph Smith’s day; but since the Book of Abraham uses a number of terms that no one has encountered elsewhere, Olishem did not stand out in any way at first. However, discoveries of ancient texts since Joseph’s day revealed two texts—one from before Abraham’s time and one roughly contemporary—name a location near Haran called Olishem. The chances that Joseph Smith would make up a fictional, outlandish place that turned out to be accurate in name, time, and location are too astronomical even to be considered. I do not know how that fact could be interpreted as anything other than evidence that Joseph Smith was really translating an ancient document.
At the same time, a number of words from the Book of Abraham have found very real and viable counterparts that support Joseph’s translations. These words, coupled with the name Olishem lead us to the conclusion that good research has turned the book’s wording—once a subject of criticism—into a strength.
Engin discusses why he thinks his excavation site is "connected with the Book of Abraham's Olishem"? I'm looking forward to reading this article.Engin, Attila. “Oylum Höyük İçin Bir Lokalizasyon Önerisi: Ulisumn / Ullis / İllis.” In Armizzi: Engin Özgen’e Armağan, 129-45. Ankara: Asitan Kitap, 2014. The author of this article, who directs the excavations at the site of Oylum Höyük, discusses why he thinks that his excavation site is ancient Ulisum and why he thinks that it is connected with the Book of Abraham’s Olishem.
Do come back and report, Tom.
We already KNOW this is simply NOT the case. It's why Gee did NOT quote, but merely summarized what is said. Had an actual non-Mormon archaeologist/historian literally said something akin to Gee's "Mormonizing" summary, he would have quoted it IN CAPITAL LETTERS........ Gee fools no one anymore. RFM has shown us how he cheaply operates. I ain't buyin anything Gee says anymore than what MG says.Tom
Dr. Gee's discussion of Olishem in his latest book on the Book of Abraham lists several sources for "further reading," including the following:

Right. And the latter end of Part III of the Mormon Stories podcast really puts things in perspective with how Gee has been going about deceiving Mormons with his fake brand of Egyptology. That 5 1/2 podcast really slams Gee!Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 11:43 pmWe already KNOW this is simply NOT the case. It's why Gee did NOT quote, but merely summarized what is said.
