Sorry, Joseph Smith, but you are dead wrong and you are making it all up. The person you refer to in Explanation 2, is a goddess and there is no king's name above her head. Stop lying Joseph Smith! This translation/explanation is false! Mormon scripture is corrupt.
Has the LDS church no shame? President Monson, you are a coward for not addressing this matter before your people. I have no respect for you, Monson. You cover the lies of your founding prophet in your own sins while your people pay you, feed you, clothe you, and take care of you like a king in a foreign country. You, President Monson are in the height of priestcraft as is the pope.

A Translation of some ancient Records that have fallen into our hands from the catacombs of Egypt. The writings of Abraham while he was in Egypt, called the Book of Abraham, written by his own hand, upon papyrus.
Whoops.
Either that, or the man was a published liar.
Of course McConkie's book was doctrine.

"Mormon Doctrine" isn't Mormon doctrine? Gee, that would have been news to everyone in my ward back in 1989. A year later when the ward threw a farewell party for my before my mission, they pitched in to purchase me two books to use on my mission. The Missionary Pal and McConkie's "Mormon Doctrine." They all signed the latter.
On my mission McConkie's work was used by missionaries when questions of doctrine arose. There was never the slightest hint that it wasn't really doctrine. Nor was there such a thing as "official" or unofficial" doctrine. Over the next few decades this gradually became a popular apologetic tool used by people who were trying to dismiss conflicting or embarrassing doctrines of the Church.
I remember going to the LDS bookstores with some faithful members who refused to buy apologetic books like the Day of Defense or the Gainsayers, because they were not written by General Authorities. They'd say things like "who the heck is this guy"? But GAs write books all the time, not only to increase their purse, but to provide the membership with a constant source of doctrinal instruction.
