A critical thought...why buy the mummies?

[_Kishkumen]

Mummies are wicked awesome! That's why!

Exactly. What other reasons does one need?

I mean really!

He had to buy the mummies because Chandler did not have Dracula, Frankenstein, or the Wolf Man for sale. So the Church had to settle for a second-tier monster.

Guys, I don't know about that. They are only *sort of* cool in my opinion. Back in the 80's, Ramses II was on display at BYU. I visited it with my family. It was pretty cool but the adornments caught my eye more than mummies. I loved the gold and jewels. I say gold and jewels is more rad than mummies.

It is my understanding that Michael Chandler would not part with the papyrus separately. I think he was hoping to divest himself of the entire remainder of his collection and saw in Smith and his followers a good chance to do just that. He insisted that Smith purchase everything in order to get the papyrus, mummies included.

Why?

Mummies! Lots of mummies
unearthed right out of history.
In the town of Kirkland, that's
where they were meant to be.

Chandler, was a merchant, had
a sense for making money. Was
a crafty fellow - knew a trick or
two of where to be.

Joseph, read Egyptian though
reformed it had to be. Sized up
by this Chandler, he bore the stone
which gave us Abraham allegory.

Why did they name it Smuckers? Because it's from Anaheim.

Reformed it had to be, you say? That's quite an understatement.

He didn't know or even notice the difference between hieratics and hieroglyphics.

He didn't know which way was up with the characters, having inverted them vertically.

But understand them? Not in a way that ascribes consistent meaning to the characters nor is consistent with the Rosetta Stone.

But he got the point of 'reading' hieratics from right to left.

That kind of Egyptian must really be reformed (or mutilated) if that's all it takes to read it.

Hell, it makes pig Latin look down right divine.

Damn! Well, God just told me that you have to help me.

PS You also have to give me money to build a house. God said.

Why is God telling me to say the same thing to you? This is challenging my faith.
