My Comment:Dear Noel, I have been watching your comments with interest, trying to figure out where you are trying to go with this. For the record, I have not done anything at all with any of your comments, and no one else can, so if something disappeared I don't know how it did. I am very much a novice at using YouTube, so there are any number of things about comments, etc., that could happen in ways that are mysterious to me.
In any case, I am trying to figure out if you are someone who is honestly seeking answers to questions, which I would warmly welcome, or someone who is looking for a platform to air grievances. It appears to be the latter, though I apologize if I am wrong.
I am happy to dialogue with you if it seems like there is a constructive conversation to be had, and if you are honestly seeking answers. I would rather not waste the time of either of us if you are just determined to hold your point of view and want someone to argue with about it. In either case, this is not the platform for either of those discussions. Other viewers have not come to this platform to be assaulted or to be argumentative. There are platforms for such things, but this is not one of them. If you would prefer to have an honest and polite conversation with me, please contact me via email and I will talk with you. Thank you!

@TheScripturesAreReal You seem to indicate that your videos are messages to the faithful and those members who have doubts. You have said elsewhere that you see testimony as trumping any controversal arguments. I have Tamas Mekis' book on the hypocephalus kindly provided by the author all the way from Hungary. Anyway you have stated the purpose of you page. I was just curious how you handled the restoraitions in fac 2 and the treatment of the "slaves" nose in fac 3. Feel free to delete this.
John Gee has reviewed Tamas Mekis's book and Dr. Cooney says he has had his review published in a journal in Europe where readers might not be aware of the LDS defence of the Book of Abraham. In other words Gee has an agenda: Cast doubts on the work of an Egyptologist.@TheScripturesAreReal

@noelhausler2911 Thank you for your message. I really am happy to talk with anyone who is interested in real inquiry. I am familiar with the book. I am happy to respond to your question. Please explain exactly what you mean by handling the restorations in fac 2. There certainly were restorations since it seems like the hypocephalus was damaged, but I am not sure what exactly you are asking, and I don't want to spend a lot of time answering what I think maybe you are asking and then find I was wrong. The same applies to the treatment of fac 3. Would you email me at egyptdig@byu.edu with a bit more specifics about your question? I prefer trying to do more full conversations via email rather than in comments on a channel. Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you.
