I Think I Have Proof That Mormonism Is Not True 00:20:14 – 00:21:18

Expert scholarly critique of the Book of Abraham facsimiles

Mike quotes Dr. James Henry Breasted, a professor at the University of Chicago and associated with the Haskell Oriental Museum, who stated that the figures in the Pearl of Great Price facsimiles are 'well-known Egyptian subjects' from 'many centuries later than' Abraham's time. He concluded that Smith's interpretations show he was 'very clearly unacquainted with the significance of' the images and lacked knowledge of even 'the simplest facts of Egyptian' religion.
