The "Star-Apes" of Facsimile 2: Egyptian Correlations-Kerry Shirts
"That Joseph Smith was interpreting such figures on an ancient Egyptian hypocephalus correctly is incredible, considering that Egyptian was not yet known in the 1830's when Joseph Smith received the Egyptian mummies and papyri from the antiquities dealer. How on earth would anyone guess haphazardly that apes could represent stars, and other heavenly bodies, and dealt with astronomy, measurement of time, etc.? I believe this is strong evidence for the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith."
