zerinus' understanding of Egyptology is pretty much on a grade school level. He's a brainwashed troll -- ignorant of the facts. I wouldn't waste my time on him/her.
Besides, he can't even read Egyptian! Why bother with him.

This is a better rendition of Anubis in Facsimile No. 3. The workmanship by the Mormon artist for the Facsimile wood cut was poor and mutations are obvious just as they are in Facsimile No. 2.
This offers a more genuine rendition of Abubis:

Say what you like. The figure which Joseph Smith identifies as the “slave” is not an image of Anubis, nor is it functioning as Anubis in the image that is displayed.

Facts say otherwise.

It's Anubis, ushering in faithful Egyptian Hor into the presence of Osiris, lord of the afterlife.
There is nothing zerinus can say to change that or convince anyone on this board otherwise. He/she is a novice and doesn't know jack about Egyptology -- credibility is totally shot.
To note, the person on the throne is not Abraham and neither is the goddess behind the throne a king of Egypt. This is pure fantasy made up in the mind of Joseph Smith in an attempt to dupe his followers. Egyptology has already proven Joseph Smith false on every single point regarding this Facsimile -- in writing and using Egyptian iconography.
Mormons are liars. All of them. They lie. They are addicted to lying.

I believe the writing in the Facsimile that testifies of the iconography in which Anubis guides the dead -- ushering him before Osiris. It's black and white and an open and shut case. Score 1 for Egyptology and 0 for Joseph Smith.
The lies of Joseph Smith and the denials of zerinus won't go far on this board.

Egyptologists disagree with you.
You're coming across as the "fake news" of apologetics. Just say stupid crap without a care about what's actually true, huh?

I'm assuming the tingling in your tummy tells you that, because Egyptology (as has been amply pointed out to you) shows different. You continue to demonstrate your intellectual dishonesty.
"Intellectual dishonesty is a failure to apply standards of rational evaluation that one is aware of, usually in a self-serving fashion. If one judges others more critically than oneself, that is intellectually dishonest. If one deflects criticism of a friend or ally simply because they are a friend or ally, that is intellectually dishonest. etc."
Zerinus suffers from...
