Why don’t Joseph’s explanations match?
Original meanings as Egyptian funerary documents.
Attached to Book of Abraham and given new meanings.
By an ancient Jewish-Egyptian scribe?
By Joseph Smith?

Steven “Bukake” Smoot has a new book out which explains everything. I wonder if anyone has picked it up yet.

I'm sure Robert Boylan will soon have a new GoFundMe page to raise funds so he can purchase a copy.

Re: "Not translations in the usual sense" Book of Abraham Defence.
Here's my main issue: no matter how the book was produced, its cosmology is complete nonsense. So either (1) Abraham misheard Elohim, or (2) Elohim must have been on mushrooms when he talked to Abraham. That's assuming the book is an accurate record of what Abraham thought God said. The third option, of course, is that MAYBE JOSEPH SMITH MADE THE WHOLE DAMN THING UP!!! Or something. Or am I mistaken? Thank you.
