@itiswrittenanimationyt: Mormons purchased Egyptian mummies and papyri, which Joseph Smith claimed contained the writings of Abraham. Joseph translated the papyri into what became the Book of Abraham, which remains LDS scripture today as part of the Pearl of Great Price. In 1912, Egyptologists examined material connected to the papyri and concluded it was an ordinary Egyptian funerary text—not a record written by Abraham. The controversy even prompted The New York Times to publish an article titled, “Museum Walls Proclaim Fraud of Mormon Prophet.” #Christiantiktok #JosephSmith #Mormonism #LDS #Christianity
