From later pictures, those trepanning holes on Dr. Peterson's forehead have completely healed.

I remember when he caused the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities to cancel BYU's permission to do archaeological work at a site. See Tale of a Million Mummies Unravels, Newsweek, Dec 20, 2014:

"Figure 7.... is it the sign of the Holy Ghost unto Abraham in the form of a dove" or "the next figure is Nehebkau who offers the wedjat-eye to the sitting deity before him." See pages 274=275. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VgO ... CI9Ko/edit
In the sketch it shows parts were missing or damage in the original facsimile:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ewn ... qSXCI/edit
In the published version there were images inserted for example Figure 3 in the right hand corner. What normally appears in this part is a figure in a boat with an insect:

Smith seems to have taken an image from a totally different piece of Joseph Smith Papyri. Check the image in the bottom right hand corner:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-87 ... Dge0E/edit That is figure 3 in facsimile 2
Figures 22 and 23 are damaged in the sketch. In undamaged examples of the hypocephalus a four-headed figure is there:

Re: My Encounter with Kerry Muhlestein online
An interesting response by an apologist:
iii) In summary, Latter-day Saint scholars freely admit that Joseph Smith’s explanations of the facsimiles don’t match the translations of Egyptologists, but so what? Symbols and icons are fluid and can be recycled and given new meaning; that’s exactly what happened here."
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1axX ... m7PIA/edit w
He seems to warm to the catalyst theory.
