So you completely discount the quote that I posted relative to the correct translation?

The Mormons have been grasping at straws since 1968 to try to prove that anything that Joseph Smith allegedly translated into the Book of Abraham can be found on those scrolls that Joseph Smith bought. The fact is that all they can do is point to things that might have some similarities and say, "See this proves the Book of Abraham was translated from these scrolls."

But the fact remains that Egyptologists are unanimous in their opinion that it is impossible to translate those scrolls into anything even closely resembling anything in the Book of Abraham.

The Book of Abraham is a fraud. Nobody who has ever objectively looked at the evidence has ever concluded otherwise. And nobody ever will.

About the only thing that Joseph Smith got right was that, yes, those scrolls were from Egypt.

Unanimity? Surely you jest. You might find some discord w/ that idea as you go to the following link:

Again, some very compelling arguments against the anti’s propositions & those of the so called “experts”.
