The discussions of the various publications of this hypocephalus by G. E. Freeman, The Osins-Shoshenq Hypocephalus, SSEA Newsletter, 5/2 (1974), pp. 4-9, plates 1-6 and J. R. Clark, The Story of the Pearl of Great Price, Salt Lake City 1955, pp. 213-18, have been largely ignored and thus the more inaccurate versions are generally reproduced, e.g. J. A. Larson, Joseph Smith and Egyptology: An Early Episode in the History of American Speculation about Ancient Egypt, 1835-1844, in: D. P. Silverman (ed.), For His Ka: Essays Offered in Memoiy of Klaus Baer, Chicago 1994, p. 175. Neither Freeman nor Clark is accurate on their historical information.
