Maybe they would have known who this represents.

Do you think the church would be interested in buying it?

Side note. Still no evidence of nephites or lamanites

I think BYU professor Dr. Daniel C. Peterson might be fluent in Reformed Egyptian. However, he would need his dowsing rod to help locate any ancient statues and determine which Pharaoh the statue represents.

We need to also remember that another serious Mormon scholar who was not an Egyptologist was High Nibley. No doubt Dr. Nibley was quite fluent in many languages and could recall an astonishing amount of secular and religious history. But his abiding interest in obscure parallels with Egypt preserved my interest in LDS beliefs for a lot longer than I wish it would have.

Hahahaha, so glad someone else remembers that Dr. Peterson admitted he thinks dowsing for water worked (admitted on Mormon Stories and on his blog). I loves me some DCP, I mean, if you made this stuff up about what apologists say, people would think you were the crazy one.

My FIL swears by this, he "witched" my sprinkler system, when I was trying to dig a trench for a drainage system, and didn't want to hit my sprinkler pipes.
