So how does Joseph Smith come up with two absolutely correct Egyptian theophoric suffixes for his ladies?

Ze-PTAH and Katu-MIN?

Were both Ptah and Min known as Egyptian deities by the 1840s?

Asking for a friend.

But now he is actually admitting it! Lol!

Mic drop!

BOOM!!!

In his only oblique reference to Dr. Ritner, Dr. Muhlestein states that "the Book of Abraham doesn't rise or fall on my opinion or reputation, or on another scholar's opinion or reputation." 13.03

Strangely, Dr. Muhlestein states that "the Book of Abraham is not based on Egyptology in any way." 11.20

An interesting exercise is to count how many times he says, "I don't know" when talking about what he can conclude academically about the Book of Abraham. I am pretty sure the only time he says, "I know" is when talking about a spiritual witness. Unofficial Tally--Dr. Muhlestein says "I don't know" ...

"You have to say that Joseph Smith was hundreds of times luckier than any other person that has ever lived on Earth to have gotten all of these things so right."15.35 Hundreds? Sounds like an exaggeration. The same kind of "millions of mummies" exaggeration that got Dr. Muhlestein's permit to dig in...

It appears the Dr. Ritner interviews have caused quite a stir. In addition to the essay Dr. Muhlestein put out in the virtual pages of The Interpreter: a Journal of Latter-day Saint Thought , last week, he has only bare hours ago put up an 18-minute video at Pearl of Great Price Central. https://www...

You have been busy being brilliant, my good friend!

Among other salient points, why indeed does Joseph Smith locate facsimile 1 in Egypt when the text places him in Olishem?

Brilliant!!!
