Main article: Reformed Egyptian
- Wikipedia Main Article: Golden plates– Wikipedia Footnotes: Golden plates–Notes A FAIR Opinion
  • The Golden Plates were said to contain engravings in an ancient language that the Book of Mormon describes as Reformed Egyptian.
  • Smith (1830) .
  • This is incorrect. The Book of Mormon describes the language as "reformed Egyptian," not "Reformed Egyptian."
  • For a detailed response, see: "Reformed" Egyptian
  • Smith described the writing as "Egyptian characters...small, and beautifully engraved," exhibiting "much skill in the art of engraving."
  • Roberts (1906) , p. 307.
  • and Orson Pratt, who did not see the plates himself but who had spoken with witnesses, understood that there were engravings on both sides of the plates, "stained with a black, hard stain, so as to make the letters more legible and easier to be read."
  • Pratt (1859) , pp. 30-31.
