Om this episode of the Gnostic Deluge we continue to look at the Mormon psuedepigraphical "Pearl of Great Price". Joseph Smith purchased four genuine egyptian mummies and some papyrus with genuine hieroglyphic writing in July of 1835. He soon after said that the papyrus contained the writing of Abraham while he was in Egypt , written by his own hand upon papyrus. In 1842 he published the translation as the Book of Abraham which is now part of the LDS churches Pearl of Great Price and canonized scripture for the church. Somethings we talk about in this episode will sound familiar, while others will be new and esoteric. Enjoy!
