Now, however there’s a funerary text with both elements of the snsn papyrus AND a clear reference to Abraham.__

Resty, please read my post more carefully. It is smith's 'translation' mentions Abraham, not the translation by the egyptologist. It sound like you are citing a work by Gee where the word 'Abraham' was found in a papyrus NOT owned by Smith or used for the boa. However another mormon egyptologist Edward H. Ashment refutes Gee in "The Use of Egyptian Magical Papyri to Authenticate the Book of Abraham"

Was Joseph just a good guesser? Is this just a grand coincidence?

Since Abraham is not mentioned, smith is a grand liar

I’m not here to try and prove the Book of Abraham. But this is evidence that the case isn’t as much an ‘open and shut’ instance as the LDS critics would feign it to be

For lurkers, an excellent reference on the boa can be found here:
