The world knows for a certain fact that at least one of the primary documents of the LDS church i.e. the so-called ‘book of Abraham’, is a transparent fraud and that the actual document which it claims to be derived from is a formula for brewing beer.

Your facts are not facts. The Book of Breathings is not the Book of Abraham. The papyrus fragments from the Metropolitan Museum of Art are different from the long roll of manuscript that contained the Book of Abraham.

Sorry to hear you try to say this. Hor's breathing permit (the papyri from the Met aka Sensen Papyri) is the origin of the boa. For starters, Facsimile #1 which Smith specifically said this was attached to the scroll at its beginning.

It has further been shown that Smith's hand written MS of the BoA had the hieroglyphic characters with what those characters translated out to be. They are found in the same sequence on the papyrus as the MS.

Facsimile #2 is also linked to the Met Papyrus. An early rendering — perhaps the first — of this hypocephalus is included below. Note the clear indication of a swath of missing papyrus extending from the center to the northeast section of the drawing.

Smith fixed this by copying symbols from Hôr's Breathing Permit and putting them into the gaps

It is clear to real Egyptologist that the insertions are spurious - the writing on the original hydrocephalus is in hieroglyphic, while the insertions are in hieratic (as is the text on the sensen papyri). Also from Smith's annotations of facsimile #2, figure 7 is identified as "Represents God sitting upon his throne, revealing through the heavens the grand Key-words of the Priesthood; as also, the sign of the Holy Ghost unto Abraham, in the form of a dove."

Real egyptologists recognize this common feature of hydrocephalus' as representing the ithyphallic egyptian god Min about to have sex with ithyphallic snake which represents Atum (smith misidentified this feature as a dove - perhaps due to damage of the original). That portion is upside-down and immediately adjacent to the text identified as copied from line 4 in the above image.

Finally, facsimile #3, when translated by real egyptologists, is a continuation of the breathing permit of Hor and based upon the abundance of similar papyri (form letter type prayers) it would have been at the left end of the papyri (egypt reads from right to left) nearly all of the papyrus is present. Smith's writing, the facsimiles and the 'restorations' are all from the same papyri. Denial is not a river in egypt Alan.
