Here is another short video on understanding Anubis and the role this canine God played in the Egyptian religion:

Anubis: The Egyptian Jackal-Headed God of Mummification and the Afterlife

What have Mormon Egyptologists ever done to honor the memory of this important god? What have Mormon scholars ever done to properly represent Anubis in whom Smith mutated and defamed?

Anubis in dog form or human form is SOLID black being attributed to his black fur and black skin. He is ALWAYS black, no exceptions! But we see in Facsimile No. 1 where Smith has wrongly placed a Caucasian head upon the body of BLACK Anubis. The head should be that of a black jackal. We also see how Smith mutilated the face of Anubis in Facsimile No. 3 and had the audacity to label him a slave. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I absolutely affirm that the black person in both Facsimiles is none other than Anubis.

Shulem please go easy on him. It is a huge step for him.

Do you get the impression that he is making a huge shift and breaking away from current scholarship much like Hauglid did?

Is he tired of the apologetic games, do you think?
Oh fundamentally so! Everyone is tired of the apologists and their causing confusion. It's just everyone else is going the wrong direction in trying to save Joseph Smith, when, from a literalist perspective this is impossible.

The Church wished to turn Anubis into a slave due to their racial policies. His black skin or fur, even now, continues to enslave him in their canonized Book of Mormon. Chiseling off his snout to mold this Egyptian god into something else seems to completely negate Anubis' religious freedom.

The Church is focused on its own image and how it's perceived by the world around it and doesn't care about ancient history. The Church has refused to take responsibility to correct its mistakes and set the record right. The Church thinks it's above it all and does not have to answer for its wrongs. The Church thinks it walks on water. The Church thinks its leaders are infallible and that the perverted readings of Facsimile No. 3 are acceptable.

We will continue to ram this down the Church's throat and inform the world of Mormon hypocrisy and deception.
