Impressive new evidence for the Book of Abraham

Post by doubtingthomas »

In Facsimile 2, we all know that Fig. 7 represents God sitting upon his throne, which depicts God with an erect penis. Now, a non-Mormon scholar is arguing that "YHWH’s penis plays a predominant role throughout the Old Testament".

Did Joseph Smith know that? Checkmate, anti-Mormons!

In Tamas Mekis book on the hypocephalus page 50 all examples of this register none have the example of Min on the throne displaying a penis. but the "dove" is actually Nehebkau does in this example https://www.britishmuseum.org/collectio ... /Y_EA35875

The original facsimile is missing all we have is a sketch https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f7Y ... 4Sbbg/edit

Did you read the entire article with thoroughness, to completion, and with studious focus?

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

This calls for some response by Shulem. Penises, Joseph Smith, and the Book of Abraham, oh my.

We have had a thread already on the book in question. I think this article makes pretty straightforward criticism of the book.
I am not sure how this relates to Joseph Smith one way or the other. It does present questions about the development of biblical ideas or understandings.
