Scriptural Translation of Egyptian Hieroglyphic Vignettes, Volume 1

The Book of Abraham

De: Abraham

Narrado por: Trevor Clinger

From my books from the Translating the Hieroglyphic Vignettes series, I demonstrate how to translate the Egyptian illustrations containing deities. I pointed out that this was how Joseph Smith translated his Book of Abraham text. And I pointed out that Joseph Smith's translation was not complete. I therefore make a more complete textual translation of the facsimiles and other vignettes from the Book of Breathings and maybe even the Book of the Dead papyri. I will not at this time make a translation of the papyri texts, just the hieroglyphic vignettes. I do not follow Joseph Smith's manner of translation, nor do I follow the pattern of the King James version. The translation is after my manner of speech. And at this time I will not separate the text into chapters and verses, nor provide a footnoting system with my reference guide to the scriptures and my doctrinal guide to the scriptures. This will all be done at a later time.

Goodsell among the ancient Egyptians

This is a casual translation of Heiroglyphics in a manner not unlike that done by the founder of the LDS Church. I say casual, because it is done in a more relaxed manner in modern speech and mannerisms. This is not to say that it is inaccurate or incorrect, only that it is modernized for the average reader. You can take away what you will from these translations, I found it kind of fun to hear Goodsell's interpretations. CLinger reads Goodsell's material in a clean and professional manner. You will have no problem understanding him in the slightest and he gets Goodsell's points across wonderfully. Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.
