Abraham in an Egyptian funeral text?
I agree, critics shouldn't have said that.
Some have made the mistake of making such a claim. But you will admit that we have important fragments had by Joseph Smith including the original vignette of Facsimile No. 1 and the hieroglyphic writing that flanks it. Yes, we can read the writing to the left of the vignette as well as the writing to the right.
Well, in all of the fragments that exist now there is not a single thing to link any of them to the Book of Abraham. Not a single word. Now, with that said, we are able to read the hieroglyphic writing contained in Facsimile No. 3 that Smith published in the Times and Seasons. We can read every single word. Is the name Abraham found therein? Nope. Neither is the name Shulem or Olimlah! And, there is no king's name either in the register as designated by Smith.
Go figure!
Are you serious? Do you think Gee is going to satisfy the questions to answers that don't exist? What about the king's name? How do you spell Shulem? What about Olimlah being a slave? How about the nose that was chopped off leaving poor Anubis in a mutilated state?
You know what, Daniel? Your ability to debate the Book of Abraham is a lost cause. I'd love to kick your ass and leave you on the ground completely knocked out cold. It would be my pleasure to humble your smart little school teacher ass should you want to debate it! Do you want to step up to the plate and take the MASTER on? Come on, I dare you.
