I'm quite satisfied with the thread noted in my signature that destroys any argument that Facsimile No. 1, is a
Sacrifice Scene when in fact, it is not:
Pearl of Great Price Central Facsimile 1 as a Sacrifice Scene
Let's take another look at ANUBIS in Facsimile No. 1, shall we?
Church scholars, more especially Gee & Muhlestein, are paid to argue and defend Smith's restoration of the head in Facsimile No. 1, and allow this alternative representation to serve as a viable and natural conclusion of the body affixed to the so-called priest. But, I've pointed out rather starkly, the person of Anubis on the PAPYRUS is
BLACK in pigment and color.
[X] Black legs and feet
[X] Black arms and shoulders
It's absolutely and abundantly clear that the person on the papyrus is
BLACK. Clearly, it's a manifestation of the jackal god Anubis appearing in animal-man form, being fully manifested in the iconic scene of resurrecting Osiris in mythical times. The problem is the head which was restored under Joseph Smith's direct supervision in order to coincide with his revelation that the person was an ordinary priest performing a human sacrifice. But nothing could be further from the truth. Nobody was taking a life! Life was being restored through resurrection, just the opposite of what Smith revealed! The head that Smith placed atop of the body is that of a white man. Thus we have an
impossible representation of the most unnatural person ever imagined:
[X] White man's head
[X] Black man's body
Smith's restoration of placing a white man's head atop the body of a black man defies all reason and is in reality the most ridiculous interpretation of Anubis ever proposed by someone who claims to understand and restore Egyptian iconography. The white head is truly a disaster and a tell-tale sign that Smith didn't know what he was doing. Isn't that right, John & Kerry?
The black jackal head of Anubis is the only head that naturally fits the body of the person in the vignette of Facsimile No. 1. It must be a jackal head. The
BLACK FUR of the black jackal is indicative of Anubis. There is no other answer in solving the question of the lacuna. That is what was drawn on the original papyrus! There is absolutely no doubt of that. From a professional standpoint of Egyptology, the person in the scene *IS* Anubis, manifested in his jackal-man form. The white man's head is a horrible gaffe -- an absolute monstrosity.
The only Egyptologists in the world today that will defend the white head on Anubis are white supremacists who are employed by BYU and work to undermine Egyptology in defense of Joseph Smith's racist and incorrect interpretations of funerary papyrus which he could not decipher or read. Defending a white man's head atop of Anubis has got to be the worst racial slur I've ever witnessed. It's an utter insult! It's racism to the extreme. It rears the ugly head of Mormonism's past in which the African race was cursed and that those people were less favored of God because Joseph Smith said so. The white head atop of the body of Anubis in Facsimile No. 1, has to go! It's worse than a Confederate flag atop the dome of a state capitol building. It's worse than calling an African American a
"nigger"! It's a total slur and a slam on the black race!
Isn't that right, John & Kerry? Or will you continue to support the racist interpretations that Smith promoted and continue to slam Egyptology and defy the truth?
