Goodness me! I wonder if anyone ever thought of that?


Actually, If I recall correctly, I may have been the one to bring it to Dale's attention.

Hmmm. What did I say just a few inches ago (depending on the size of one's screen)?

I wrote:However, on page 15 (of this edition), Elder Hinckley provides us with a picture of reformed Egyptians characters (of course it’s the Anthon manuscript). You know; this:

I aksed for a reference not a picture. What is the surrounding text? The caption? etc.

Page 15 has a picture of the Anthon manuscript.

The picture in the book does not show the word "Caractors" or the first line of symbols you see here (the picture in the book starts with the second line of characters that starts with one that looks like a Y or a 4 followed by a bunch of vertical lines with a line under them). The caption says, "Modified Egyptian characters as they appeared on the plates."

Oh. I thought you said "authentic reformed Egyptian". In which case my answer to your question would probably be no. I can see why you want it to be yes though.

Damn, everything was going so good until you spelled the name of the church wrong. Simon is going to get you for that!
