Joseph Smith As An Egyptologist

[Kumenonhi]

I for one see many things of sacred nature and strong elements of the temple and eternity with the BoA. Like the Book of Mormon the more I study and learn the more I am impressed with its astounding content. The more I go to the temple the more mysteries are unveiled to me, such is the Book of Abraham.

There is, if you search a fascinating dualism within the facsimiles. "Anoint thy eyes and wash them and thou shalt see" (Moses 6:35) and when we do so things we did not see before appears to us.

"The purpose of such books is not to prove Mormonism to the world, but to proclaim and elucidate the universal vastness and scope of its teachings." ~Hugh Nibley

I like you am amaszed about the BoA and the temple. Since it is confirmed that the facimilies are real (Of course not the interpretation, completely anyway) I am amzed what they teach us.

I guess one masn garbage is anothers treasure.

For someone coming very late to the discussion and not having any background in this particular issue. . . I had understood that the materials in question were from the Egyptian book of the dead, specifically the book of breathing and they have nothing to do with Abraham. I guess you folks are saying you believe otherwise?

I watched the first video, good grief man! ramble, ramble, slow, sidetrack, tangent . . . . there is about 1 minute of actual content in a 10 min. video! Are they all like this?

No all of them are not like the first one. I was in a beautiful area, and enjoy nature, and I am, after all, referred to as the Backyard Professor, and that is my backyard, so I shared a bit. The actual series has an enormous amount of materials I cover. I shall have to put my paper up on my blog.
