We are going to require the expertise of artists and wood engravers. I can see this matter is going to get complicated. The tricks of the trade are known by the experts who ultimately can unravel this mystery. LDS apologists will not be able to easily dismiss this. I'm sure they will find it just as curious when they learn about it. It's not good news for the church, at all.

I can imagine this news will get around fast.
It already has. John Gee just called me and said he phoned Ritner and asked him about it, and Ritner has now agreed that, after discussing the proof that this woodcut came from the *fourth* scroll, that is now missing, Gee has a solid refutation. You are simply out to lunch with this and Ritner has now asked Gee to baptize him.

I have always thought it looked weird, but once the parallel with the profile of Anubis with the single ear is seen (combined with the inscription over the figure), the implication is hard to avoid. Congratulations to Shulem for bringing this up.
I found another ear. It appears a single ear is all it takes to prove it's really Anubis in Facsimile No. 3.

So, you get the point. Shulem really zeroed in on something here.
