The Book Of Abraham: Egyptian Iconography On Syro-Palestinian Cylinder Seals Of The Middle Bronze Age

[Olavarria]

I found this interesting book in Google Books. It shows Egyptian iconography on Syro-Palestinian cylinder seals from Abraham's day.

I think it's relevant to the Book of Abraham, if Abraham was a Syrian then it would make sense that he would adopt Egyptian iconography to illustrate his book.

Thanks for the book notice.

Abraham didn't have to do so, but the fact that others in that region did so certainly makes it more likely that he could also do it -- if he chose to. His sojourn in Egypt makes that even more likely.
