The LDS Church's own official article on lds.org admits the characters on the papyri do not match the Book of Abraham text

I Think I Have Proof That Mormonism Is Not True 00:22:54 – 00:24:27

The LDS Church's own admission in its official online materials

Mike reads from an official LDS article on lds.org titled something like 'Translation and Historicity of the Book of Abraham.' The article states: 'Mormon and non-Mormon scholars agree that the characters on the fragments do not match the text of the Book of Abraham.' Mike emphasizes this as the LDS Church's own concession. The article goes on to acknowledge that 'these fragments date to between [the 3rd century BC] and the 1st century CE' — long after Abraham lived — and describes them as 'part of standard funerary texts.' Mike notes the article still hedges by saying there is 'not unanimity' on the proper interpretation of the vignettes.
