: I am not kidding. This is obviously not an apologetics site, but an ex-member testimonial session. I thought I was going to be able to spout around some Hugh Nibley and Kerry Shirts, but I think people'd just get lost in it all. Through trying to prove the Book of Abraham false, DeeJay Nelson proved himself to be the fraud! Just like "Dr." Martin and the rest of the gang.
I could care less in what DeeJay Nelson & "Dr." Martin claimed.
The fact still remains that a) "Joseph Smith's Egyptian Alphabet and Grammar" is from the Book of Breathings, b) the Book of Breathings is next to Facisimile 1 which is where the Book of Abraham begins, c) none of the papyrus was from 2,000 BC, d) the Book of Abraham translation shows evidence that someone was learning Hebrew--not Egyptian--when they translated it, and e) the facimiles we certainly do have were incorrectly restored and translated.
Now where is your evidence that the "Book of Breathings wasn't the origin for the Book of Abraham"?
