The "Egyptian Alphabet & Grammar" Hypocephalus Drawing by Joseph Smith (left). The missing parts (right) are divinely inspired. Amazon.com:  "By His Own Hand Upon Papyrus"	Translated  document	Original document	...The missing parts,  divinely inspired and rendered by Smith's hand. Smith used hieratic characters, which are from a later period as the rest of the document.  He drew the added characters upside down, that is, he drew them in the opposite direction of the surrounding border characters.   This signifies, in Smith's divinely inspired view, that Black people are antipodal  to white people.
	Smith's translation of the newly added missing parts (at approx. 1 - 2 o'clock, 4 o'clock   and 9 o'clock)  have to do with the idea that Black People cannot hold the Mormon priesthood because they are descendents of Cain.
	At right is a HYPOCEPHALUS (literally 'that which is below the head') from the [off-site] British Museum.  Hypocepahli are common inclusions with Egyptian mummies, placed over the head.  Compare with the Mormon original (top right) and with Smith's enhancement (top left).   [off-site link: Hypocaphalus Critically Examined]	The hypocephalus, literally 'that which is below the head', was placed between the head of the mummy and the funerary headrest. The earliest examples appeared in the Late Period, around 664 BC. They were simply inscribed pieces of papyrus. By the Ptolemaic period (332-30 BC), they were made of linen stiffened with plaster, decorated with vignettes. An inscription is inscribed at the circumference.               Courtesy  [off-site] British Museum.
