The Lost Book of Abraham

The Lost Book of Abraham is an award-winning documentary that investigates the remarkable claim that Mormon founder Joseph Smith translated a lost book of scripture from an Egyptian papyrus scroll he obtained in 1835. Hear the views of Mormon believers and World-class Egyptologists and decide for yourself.

Come on, Mormons- think rationally.  Why do you ignore the evidence? Don't live your lives based on obvious lies.

[Fred Brillante]

Yes and Cortez also destroyed records that prove that I am the rightful King of England!

I'm searching for proof even as we speak.

Graeme, we're still waiting for you to present your evidence. Please proceed.

[Zugzwang u]

See FAIR? This is an apologist pseudo-scientific organization funded by the LDS church. The fact that they have to use these BYU educated pro-mormon researchers is enough proof that the whole thing is a sham. Science doesn't work like this. Real science needs to be peer-reviewed by other scientists around the world. You know this is a fraud! Admit it. The truth will set you free.

Graeme, please list the evidence you speak of (with sources) so we may examine it. The "agenda" in the above video is to expose fraud and reveal truth. So yes, they have an agenda. These people in this video are real experts in their fields. They are/were Mormons with integrity. "See Fair lds"? Are you kidding me? Fair lds' ONLY AGENDA is to defend the lds church and it's many 'myths' at any cost. Even at the expense of truth. Shameful!

I am not an ex mormon and I have a hard time believing any of this story. I began studying this after my son told me he wanted to attend college in Utah. My search began to learn more about Utah culture. Before I knew it I was studying mormonism which I knew nothing about. Can someone give me any acts of kindness committed by either JS or BY towards a stranger? If so promote that and stop trying to defend polygamy, gold plates, MMM,etc. It is maddening and entertaining to an outsider.

[Graeme McPherson]

If this is what you want to believe go right ahead. From a Mormon perpective there is plenty of evidence to the contrary, unlike the above documentary with a clear agenda, those that are qualified in this field can give more light on the book of abraham. See fair lds. For all those ex mormons that fight against the faith, please repent. It really is God's true church for the benefit of all his children.

Praise God, Amanda! May the Lord continue to bless you and your husband in your Christian walk. :)

[Amanda Marie]

we opened our eyes! we have left the LDS church I wish more people would open there eyes and heart and find the truth. but to all Christians don't bash the people that still believe help them find there way and truth :-)

[Thadeka Deka]

But bible does nto say u wil become gods,and jesus christ and satan are not brothers and many other stupid things that mormon belive

[D2modplayer1]

I would agree that this is for the most part what should be learned from this scripture, I indicate in my earlier post saying, we place the Lord above all other things, this implies false idols as well. Part of it is in response to the video that states polytheism which I believe is considered worshiping more than one God, LDS (Mormons) don't do that.

...or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath...

In Exodus it does give evidence of more than one god..

[rickw571]

D2modplayer1, you are misinterpreting these scriptures. The gods referred to in these scriptures are so-called gods, gods that people have in their minds over the one true God. Or, to put it more simply, idols that people may focus on rather than God. Like a new car, truck, career, etc. Anything that people may place ahead of God, and focus on in this life.
