Mormon Facts: The papyrus Joseph Smith "translated" into the Book of Abraham was afterwards translated by scientists using the Rosetta Stone. It turns out, it has nothing to do with the Book of Abraham.

@figaro John Dehlin and Radio Free Mormon did a ridiculously in-depth interview with an archaeologist named Dr. Robert Ritner on this very subject. It's long, but worth a watch. I'll link it when I have a moment to find it.

Edit: Sorry, he was an Egyptologist, not an archaeologist. (Does Lemmy support post editing?)

@figaro Be sure you've got a good block of time available. It's a very deep rabbit hole.
