If Egyptologists show Smith's intereptations of the facsimiles are wrong then Joseph Smith is a fraud.
Egyptologists have shown Smith's interpretations are wrong (eg Tamas Mekis)
Therfore Joseph Smith is a fraud.
Facsimile 2 was not among the papyri found at the museum.
There was found in the LDS archives a sketch of the facsimile which showed parts were missing.

Here is an example of a hypocephalus
See the figure in the upper right hand corner is a man standing in a boat with an insect.

I did a google search British Museum hypocephalus. All examples showed that same scene.
Where did Smith find his insertion?
Might be here. Check lower right hand corner of a figure in a boat.

In the sketch there is missing what Smith inserted 22 and 23
Smith seems to have inserted a copy of the head of figure 2
Note the examples shows a a figure with multiple heads.
If you look at the sketch figure 7 just shows a head which one might think is he head of a bird. Smith "the signof the Holy Ghost unto Abraham in the form of a dove"
If you look at the example nothing like a dove. Tamas Mekis writes "The next figure is Nehebkau who offers the wedjat eye to the sitting deity before him" Note both the deity Min and Nehebkau display a penis.
See the British Museum collection.

The rim of the hypocephalus in the sketch is missing on the right hand side. In the published version heiratic writing has been inserted.
One notes that Smith attempts to give an answer to the registers with pictures (registers) but makes no attempt to interpret the writing " Figures 12,13, 14,15,16,17,18,19,20, and 21 willbw given in the own due time of the Lord"
