Abraham and Idrimi

Back in 2013, the Journal of the Book of Mormon and Other Restoration Scripture published an article by LDS Egyptologist, Dr. John Gee, entitled "Abraham and Idrimi." This is an important article, not the least it is that it greatly supports the verisimilitude of the Book of Abraham. As the Abtract states:

Idrimi of Alalakh lived in Syria about a century after Abraham and left an autobiographical inscription that is the only such item uncovered archaeologically from Middle Bronze Age Syro-Palestine. The inscription of Idrimi and the Book of Abraham share a number of parallel features and motifs. Some of the parallels are a result of similar experiences in their lives and some are a result of coming from a similar culture and time.


Enjoy!
