Egyptology and the Book of Abraham: An Interview with Egyptologist Kerry Muhlestein | FairMormon Blog

Egyptology and the Book of Abraham: An Interview with Egyptologist Kerry Muhlestein | FairMormon Blog: "Muhlestein: Starting at least by 200–150 BC there were many Egyptians who were interested in Abraham. In particular, we know that a group of priests were collecting stories from other religious traditions and using those stories in their own religious spells. We know that some of them had specifically collected stories about Abraham and Moses. At least some of those who were doing this were priests from Thebes. This is most interesting because Joseph Smith Papyrus I, X, and XI were owned by the priest Hor from Thebes from the same time period."
