The Egyptians have definitely scrubbed their history.

Especially the ones who had an alphabet known as REFORMED Egyptian!

Nary a sample of it exists today, except for...

There was a fairly famous fella of a couple of hundred years ago that actually DID get hold of some RE, incribed on Golden Plates, but these are no longer on the earth.
 
Since the Rosetta Stone had been found, but not yet decoded, even ordinary Egyptian heiroglyphics were a condundrum to language experts.
 
Did this present a problem to understanding RE??  Apparently not, for the translator - Joseph Smith - had stones of his own that allowed him to bring the ancient engraving back to life.
 
The English translation of the the Reformed Egyptian (now called The Book of MORMON) has been re-written into 82 earthly languages.
 
 
 
Later, when some ordinary Egyptian heiroglyphics on papyrus came into Josephs possession, his translation abilities had somewhat waned at this time.

Kolob, signifying the first creation, nearest to the celestial, or the residence of God. First in government, the last pertaining to the measurement of time. The measurement according to celestial time, which celestial time signifies one day to a cubit. One day in Kolob is equal to a thousand years according to the measurement of this earth, which is called by the Egyptians Jah-oh-eh."The spirit of the four elements (according to Champollion), or rather of the four winds, or the four cardinal points; the soul of the terrestrial world. This god is always represented with four rams' heads, and his image has certainly been altered here. — They have also evidently made a very clumsy attempt at copying the double human head of the god figured above, fig. 2, instead of the four rams' heads. The word Jah-oh-eh has nothing Egyptian in it; it resembles the Hebrew word [redacted] badly transcribed." (emphasis in original) The name hieroglyph above the central figure is Chnm-Re, the Egyptian "First Creator" god who organized everything out of the primordial chaos.
