New Sphinx proves it's all true

Archaeologists have discovered a stunning sphinx statue at an ancient temple in southern Egypt.

The sandstone statue was discovered during a project to reduce groundwater at Kom Ombo temple in Aswan.

The statue likely dates back to the Ptolemaic period between 305 B.C. and 30 B.C., according to Dr. Mostafa Waziri, general secretary of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities. In a Facebook post, Waziri explained that the statue was found in the south-eastern side of the temple where two sandstone reliefs of King Ptolemy V were discovered two months ago.

The entrance to the Sphinx contains a well-preserved panel showing a beehive which displayed one King and High Priest Bee surrounded by female bees from other hives, as well as many immature female worker bees. The archeologists are busy trying to piece together what this symbolism meant to the ancient builders of this newly discovered Sphinx.

I wonder if the King's name is above his head in hieroglyphics?

Maybe facsimile 3 isn't the smoking gun after all?????

Naw, it's still nonsense.

I heard that. :wink:

Seriously though, the FACT that there is no king's name in the characters above the head is PROOF that Joseph Smith didn't know how to read the most fundamental elements of the Egyptian language. A king's name enclosed in the sacred Cartouche was a declaration and expression of his ability to live on for eternity. Joseph Smith didn't know that and neither did Oliver Cowdery his learned sidekick.

The FACT that Joseph Smith misidentified/mistranslated the concept of an Egyptian king's name is proof that his Egyptian translation under the direct revelation of his Holy Ghost was a shame. To say otherwise is to deny the truth or to deny the light when it's shining right in one's face. that, my friend, is the very concept of being a son of perdition, which all Mormons are to some degree because they constantly lie to themselves to maintain their silly testimonies.

Need I say that the face on this Sphinx is ugly! What an ugly duckling. What a travesty to Egyptian art. Who wants to look at that sorry face? Not me.

This Sphinx's face is a cross between Joseph Smith and his ugly brother, Hyrum. Or perhaps it was the original Joseph who was sold into Egypt by his brothers.

Oh my gawd. The Book of Abraham might really be true.

For Joseph truly testified, saying: A seer shall the Lord my God raise up, who shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my loins.

What might Joseph have looked like if he had lived to be old? If so many men didn't have a bone to pick with him because their wives or daughters picked his? If he hadn't been a martyr for the flaming macuahuitl?

Intriguing find. I should note that Dr. Peterson discovered a very attractive Sp[h]inx near the shore of the Provo River sometime during the 1970s during his watershed apprenticeship with Cruise Lady. (Dr. Peterson helped write, and starred in, several promotional films for Cruise Lady.)
