Key points, then: (1) In Egyptian documents, it's possible for scenes from other books to be adapted to new book; (2) the scene in Facsimile 3 is not one commonly associated with the Book of the Dead text that preceded it; and (3) it is not a common funerary scene.

West (whose 1837 brochure about his visit to Nauvoo is cited by Peterson, 1995, p. 25) said that the scrolls had enough material to fill a book larger than the Bible, hardly consistent with the tiny set of fragments we now have. Also consider the works of Kerry Shirts at his Website (now archived), "Mormonism Researched." Joseph Smith not only offered the world the Book of Mormon as a divinely translated ancient text, he later produced a volume of scripture known as the Book of Abraham, translated from an ancient Egyptian scroll he obtained.
