My suggestion would be to stick with Facsimile No. 3, and do NOT drift away from talking about Smith's claims and Explanation of the king's name and how he falsely identified Isis as a king of Egypt. The apologist will try and change the subject and move it elsewhere. DON'T! Stick to the king's name and how the Explanation is wrong. Use evidence and proof to keep hammering away at this single point and keep all guns pointed in that direction. Mention other elements of the Facsimile No. 3 to support the case and any quotes from Joseph Smith and eyewitnesses. Bring to the table quotes and information from conventional Egyptology to prove it's really only Isis and there is no justification to make her a king.
Don't allow the apologists to wiggle away and try and change the subject. After wearing him down and making the point several times then it's time to shift gears heavily into another part of Facsimile No. 3.
Trust me. This is how it's done!
Indeed. Facsimile No. 3 really is the key into breaking their argument and opening the door to let the light in. I agree, should such a discussion take place with this apologist on this board it should remain cordial and friendly. I don't think this apologist knows how bad he would be beaten in debating these matters here in a free speech zone.

Instead of ridicule and mockery however, we ought to just simply decimate their ideas with reality, as you are saying about fac 3. We tend to get pretty excited instead of academic when these things pop up. And actually, any of the facsimiles are the weakness, without doubt. Fac 3 is the best because it is so straight forward, as you note. There is no wiggle room.
