himself and his works to critical examination. An evidence of the Truth

of the Prophet Joseph Smith’s Account of The origin of The Book of

Mormon by Ariel L. Crowley, LLB The Transcript, genuineness of the

transcript, The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,

The Auditorium, Independence, Missouri. The transcript and its

reproductions, Identification of The Characters

Fig 1 – The Anthon Transcript Reproduction of original copy made by

Joseph Smith from the plates from which The Book of Mormon was

translated.

Fig 2 – The identification of the characters as Egyptian hieroglyphics,

Hierotic and demotic forns all used at time of Lehi’s leaving Jerusalem 600

BC, still possible to demonstrate charactors are Egyptian in fact.

Comparison of “Caractors” to Egyptian (demotic) shows they are

genuine, keeping most of the forms of the demotic script (489-506)

Figure 2. Early circular showing 3 lines of characters copied from The Gold Plates Figures 2.1 – 7  Comparing Egyptian demotic and hieratic with Anthon Transcript

The identification of the characters as Egyptian.

Characters – Chaldean Assyriac, Arabian and Egyptian are all occurring in

reformed, that is to say hieratic and demotic Egyptian. In Graeco-Roman period, hieroglyphics, hieratic and demotic Egyptian were all in use

1904 Sarabit inscription very similar to Anthon transcript. It is possible to

demonstrate that the “Charactors” are Egyptian in fact

Figures 8-201 Reformed Egyptian and Egyptian are almost the same, showing that what Joseph Smith the Prophet copied was not mere scribbling but actually a form of Egyptian, with some changes made over time but not so much as to lose the meaning thereof.
