Paleo-Hebrew Travis Wayne Goodsell

The origins of the alphabet are shrouded in mystery. Travis Wayne Goodsell has made some discoveries with the ancient alphabets that explain this mystery. The explanations are given in an easy to understand level system for the learner to be taught on a step by step basis. The Paleo-Hebrew letters are more than just a picture. They are an actual text to be translated. It is Joseph Smith's manner of translating the Book of Abraham, facsimiles using 6 different translation types, that got me to reverse engineer Joseph's work to not only reproduce his translations, but give a fuller translation of the facsimiles. This practice then taught me how to apply it to other Egyptian texts and to the Paleo-Alphabets. Egyptologists know Egyptian only because of the Rosetta Stone from 196BCE. This is at least 3000 years after the first known evidence of the Egyptian language and at least 1500 years after the first known evidence of Paleo-Alphabets. There is obviously more to Egyptian and Paleo-Alphabets than the Greeks knew. And after learning Joseph's manner of translation, decipherment just opened wide and I found that I could use his pattern of translation on any Egyptian and Paleo-Alphabet text. In this book I review Joseph Smith's translation types then apply them one at a time to the letters. The combination of all 6 types translates into a fuller text. There are also 2 more translation types, that of 'phonetics' and 'numerology'. Joseph Smith also incorporates these types into his translation of the Book of Abraham facsimiles, such that with the Paleo-Alphabets there are 8 levels or translation types.
