Why is it that the manuscript Joseph Smith "translated" from "Reformed Egyptian"(a language no egyptologist or linguist says exists), ie-"The Book of Abraham", as the story goes, Joseph Smith claimed was written by Abraham's own hand, roughly in 1500BC, was redicovered and translated by genuine scholars in Egyptian hieroglyphs, it was found to be an ordinary funery document for a mid level Egyptian bureacrat dated around 200 years BC, and contained roughly 90 words, having nothing to do with Abraham?
