Dropping at 10 pm Mountain Time.
Some LDS people are embarrassed by Joseph Smith's Book of Abraham, especially the facsimiles that came from papyri the church bought during the Kirtland era. The disconnect between Joseph's handling and interpretation of the papyri and modern Egyptological knowledge causes consternation, but Joseph Smith was engaging in an age old Western practice of finding spiritual inspiration in speculations about ancient Egypt.
Should be pretty fun! Thanks to all of you who have watched these videos thus far. I have enjoyed making them, and I hope in the future to refine the craft of doing so.
