Russell McGregor's fascination with cross-dressing

Joe identified Osiris as Abraham, Isis as "King Pharaoh," Maat as "Prince of Pharaoh," Horus (the man for whom the scroll was made) as "Shulem, one of the king’s principal waiters" and Anubis as "Olimlah, a slave belonging to the prince."

In an attempt to defend Smith's absurd identifications of the figures in facsimile 3, McGregor (and Shirts) wrote the following:

What White has dismally failed to understand, because he shows no awareness at all of Egyptological literature nor of ancient Egyptian ideas, is precisely this aspect that he raves against. The ancient Egyptians dressed in costume during their rituals, coronations, and funerals and took on the roles of the deities whose robes they wore, whether male or female. It is that simple. And there is rather an abundant amount of evidence to demonstrate this these days.
Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei
