@figaro@lemmy.world Ah ok, so on Mastodon I can only see the post title and the comments. The post title gives me a link to the post. Still very cool.
I am curious now what it was about? Making pie?
I believe it was something about the rules for how to conduct a funeral. It wasn't unique or notable at all apparently.
Yes, funeral papyrus.
The man's name was Hor (Horace). That's not a joke. Joseph Smith was that far off base.
@TempleSquare @figaro@lemmy.world The official excuse is that the papyrus "inspired" the revelation, despite multiple claims that it was a direct translation.
Not that there needs to be a smoking gun, but if anyone was looking for one to prove mormonism is a fraud, this is a big one.
@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?)
Here is the entrance to that particular rabbit hole:

This is what I have most commonly heard. Haha unless you ask my TBM parents. Then we are off into the weeds again, and not the fun kind of weed.
It was the Book of Breathings of Hor, and the Book of the Dead: https://pearlofgreatpricecentral.org/what-egyptian-papyri-did-joseph-smith-possess/
