RAMSES II VIDEO

A 15-minute video produced by Brigham Young University to introduce visitors to the Ramses II exhibit was narrated by director Wilfred Griggs. F.A.R.M.S. has a limited number of these videos, which are available for $18.00 (VHS only). If you missed the Ramses II exhibit, or if you are in interested in having this excellent production in your library, this video offers a great opportunity to view selected artifacts from this acclaimed exhibit. The few videos remaining will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Please use the enclosed order form.

Also, an LDS-oriented commentary on the Ramses II artifacts was prepared by Robert F. Smith and Bruce Warren. This reports gives commentary particularly on the religious aspects of many Egyptian artifacts. The details are correlated with materials in the Book of Mormon, Bible, and Pearl of Great Price. For example, the four canopic golds relate to materials in the Book of Abraham, and the name of the god Horus is very likely an element in the Nephite name Pahoran. Since the motifs covered are standard, this report will interest ayone studying Egyptian or visiting Egyptian museums anywhere—including the Ramses exhibit touring the United States and Canada for the next few years.
