Good catch, good doctor.
Strangely, the review faults Givens for saying translate doesn't mean translate while at the same time saying Joseph giving the representation of the glyphs above the figures in Fac. 3 is... wait for it... something different than translation.
Egyptologist exhume thyself.

Re: A New Smear Article: Interpreter Targets Givens and Hauglid
It has become incontrovertible that the Book of Abraham is not a translation of an ancient Egyptian document.

Confessions of a CES Director
RFM 203 just went up today.
Former CES director Philip McLemore spills the beans.
I don't know how to put a link in here from my phone.
Little help?

Nice board you have here!
