I wouldn't go so far as to say that. Just something with a little more pizzazz.

The Great Pyramids
QUESTION FOR PROFESSOR JOHN GEE
In light of our understanding from the Book of Abraham and Josephus, do you think that it's plausible that Joseph Smith believed the great pyramids were built AFTER Abraham visited Egypt and delivered the said sciences of astronomy and mathematics to the Egyptians?
Please write your next paper on that subject.
I'll be happy to critique your work before you publish it and share it with your cronies.

You know he wouldn't do that, he wouldn't be able to publish it in the Interpreter, it would be too truthful...Shulem wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 5:43 pmQUESTION FOR PROFESSOR JOHN GEE

Right. Joseph Smith minimized the ancient Egyptians as copycats in mimicking the sacred priesthood order in trying to be like Adam and Noah. I can't imagine Joseph Smith thinking that the Egyptians had the ability to build the great pyramids without receiving assistance from their Babylonian counterparts from the east. It took Abraham going over to Egypt and explaining how mathematics (geometry too) can enable builders to produce structures that align with the stars above.
Isn't that right, Mr. McGee?

The thing is, Shulem—I recognize my own limitations. Why should I get in the way of an expert like yourself? By all means, carry on, my friend!

Oh, okay. That makes perfect sense. Now I get it.
Thank you very much for clarifying that for me! I'm both honored and humbled to be recognized in such high esteem. Indeed, I am the greatest Book of Abraham critic to have ever lived. That is so true. I set the ultimate bar for the apologists.
Thank you.

OK, they have the ultimate bar, however, their mums have indicated that they must be in by 11:00 p.m., so this is why there seldom is a lot of wholesome and verifying activity concerning the Book of Abraham authenticity from their quarter, they are not allowed to stay up late and enjoy festivities with the rest of us... And cab fare has skyrocketed, what with the price of fuel going through the roof and all, many apologists have taken to coming to the bar on their bicycles, some have even purchased e-bikes with the sacred funds they have received from producing films such as "The Witnesses."Shulem wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:25 amDoctor Scratch wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:14 amThe thing is, Shulem—I recognize my own limitations.

I've not seen the movie other than trailers. Is there any chance they might do a kind of sequel using the papyrus for the Book of Abraham as the main fare? Can you imagine? They could do a piece on Josiah Quincy visiting Smith's Egyptian exhibit.

I wonder if Lou Midgley would audition for playing the part of Quincy... I think Gemli would make a fine Joseph Smith. Those two together could cause the film to become an intergalactic best seller.
