If the papyrus was simply one of the common Egyptian funerary docs, has anyone collected a quantity of them as a counter to the claims of the church?

There is a link at the bottom of the Wiki article that addresses Joseph Smith’s interpretation.

When I got my ghawdorate in Mormon Funerary Studies, this is where I started:

Now I'm not saying that JoJu was lying his ass off when he 'translated' the papyri, but he was totally lying his ass off.

When wife and I were in Europe 2 years ago, we went to a museum featuring a significant Egyptian exhibit. One of items was a funerary papyrus roll which was identical to the portions we have seen in the Book of Abraham. I took some pictures and will post them here. There is no question the papyrus Smith supposedly translated was a common item placed in coffins hundreds years after the alleged time of Abraham. A clear con.

Crazy how someone of JoJu's virginal character would end up worshipping a boner-god.

What is the current status of the PoGP ibn Mormonism today? Are they still used? Do they stick with Smith's claims?

They have for decades de-emphasized the PoGP. They'll occasionally quote from the JS portions of the document but never use the BoA or the Book of Moses.

They know it is fraudulent but can't acknowledge that publicly without undermining the authority of both JS and of the prophets ever since him. So they ignore it as much as they possibly can.
