And the Testing one, two three, testing one, two one two three this is radio free Mormon on the air

broadcasting behind enemy lines. Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of

Mormon Stories podcast I'm your host John Galin. It is July 30th, 2020.

I apologize for the hyperbole, but I do believe that we have one of the most important episodes

that will ever have on Mormon Stories Podcast.

This will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Michael Coe interview,

with the Tom Phillips interview,

with the Bart Erman interview interview and with our top interviews.

It'll be an immediate top five I'm guessing. I am here today with Dr. Robert

Rittner who is a world famous Egyptologist. That's what I'll call him. He'll we'll have him tell you his

official title in just a second. We have covered Book of Mormon scripture historicity

a lot in the past on Mormon stories podcast. We've covered Book of

Mormon Book of Abraham. Recently we covered the Joseph Smith

translation. You know we've had Brett Metcalf on to talk about Book of

Abraham. We've had David Boccavoy, we've had Dan Vogel, but what we've never had is a legit

Never Mormon world-class Egyptologist to talk to us about the Book of Abraham.

And just like we had the amazing Dr Michael Koh on,

who was the Yale Mesoamerican anthropologist or archaeologist to give us an outsider's view of a book of

Mormon history. We have brought Dr Robert Rittner on to give us an outsider's view of Book of Abraham historicity or

authenticity and to talk about the apologetics that have surrounded the Book of Abraham from Hugh Nibli to Daniel

Peterson to John Ghee to Kerry Moulstein and the like.

So it is going to be an epic multi-hour Mormon stories podcast interview.
