The Egyptian creation story hieroglyph is known by Egyptologists for being able to be translated several different ways. Joseph Smith knew this as well. Now Travis Wayne Goodsell is making translations of the vignettes. Ever wonder who the female Pharaoh of Abraham's day was? Ever wonder how the Egyptian Hieroglyphs are symbolic representations for Jesus Christ? It's all right here in the Translating Hieroglyphic Vignettes series. This is volume three.

With the Egyptian creation story vignette being translatable on different levels, Travis Wayne Goodsell has applied these levels to other vignettes. The results are that Joseph Smith was correct with his explanations, but shows that he was incomplete on the facsimiles' translations. Travis has identified nine level translation types and goes over each character of facsimile number one from the Joseph Smith papyri hieroglyphic vignette at each level of translation.

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.
