You still support the missing roll theory in hopes that there really was an Egyptian document with the Book of Abraham written in the actual language of the Egyptians? Do you?
Well, how about the writing in Facsimile No. 3? How much of that is missing? If the writing is not there than we cannot prove Joseph Smith provided a bogus translation, right? But the writing is there. All of it! Every single word! And guess what, Gee? It proves Joseph Smith's Book of Abraham is a complete fabrication. So take the Explanations of Facsimile No. 3 and shove them down your lying throat.

The misunderstandings and misinformation start with Joseph Smith who fabricated the Book of Abraham and pretended to translate the dead Egyptian language. Lest there be any misunderstanding, please understand, it was Joseph Smith who gave misinformation. Modern Egyptology is the ONLY source by which we get correct information about the writing and images of Facsimile No. 3. Everything Joseph Smith said about that Facsimile was a lie -- misinformation and without genuine understanding of the most basic principles of Egyptology.

What "CONTROVERSY"? The only controversy is among the Mormons themselves. There is no controversy with modern Egyptology and it's ability to decipher Facsimile No. 3. The only controversy is in Mormonism among the Mormons who grapple with what to do about their founding prophet who didn't know jack crap about Egyptology. That's the controversy! It's the Mormons that are controversial and contradicting science and Egyptology. They might as well claim the earth is flat! They might as well claim Jesus has already come back and the second coming is past. That's about how stupid the Explanations of Facsimile No. 3 are.
1. Bishop overseeing the Saturday cleanup at the Luxor South Ward. 2. Aaronic Priesthood teacher 3. Aaronic Priesthood deacon 4. Young Men's President taking orders for a run to the McDonalds on West Nile Blvd.
Explanation - It is a typical cleanup, but the young Aaronic cleaners are careful not to erase any of the Reformed Egyptian writings proving that everything that will be later written in the Book of Abraham is 100% legit as a channeled translation.
I am sure there are apologists that could find a couple of "hits" in you description...
1. King Pharaoh's chief treasurer Sing-sang-pon oversees payments given to patriarch Joseph. 2. Scale master Yo-fo-yon sets the scales to reward Joseph and his family all that the Lord decreed. 3. King Pharaoh's pet puppy guards the treasury. 4. Prince of Pharaoh records all payments made to Joseph and his family.
The writing in the record of Joseph records prophecies and promises made to Joseph's descendants in the last days. A prophecy of the coming of a seer in the last days who will be named Joseph is written in the writing above the scales.
