Response to claim: "Collected below are the views from experts in the fields of Egyptology regarding the general claims of the Book of Abraham"
The author(s) of "For my Wife and Children" ("Letter to my Wife") make(s) the following claim:
Collected below are the views from experts in the fields of Egyptology regarding the general claims of the Book of Abraham. (The author then quotes a number of experts in Egyptian, who universally agree that Joseph Smith did not translate the text of the Book of Abraham from the papyi fragments that have been recovered.)
FAIR's Response
Fact checking results: This claim is based upon correct information - The author is providing knowledge concerning some particular fact, subject, or event
It is no surprise that both Mormon and non-Mormon Egyptologists agree that the Joseph Smith papyri fragments do not contain the text of the Book of Abraham. Even the Church acknowledged this back in 1968..
