Why did Emma Smith and her son, Joseph Smith III, sell the Book of Abraham papyri?

They had in their possession (in 1856, after Lucy’s death) some of the most important ancient documents ever discovered: the actual, physical writings of the patriarch of three of the world’s major religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), “written by his own hand upon papyrus.” When it comes to ancient religious documents from the Middle East, this is about as big as it gets (in terms of documents coming to light in relatively recent times).

Just how important? Charles Larson has this to say:

"From the beginning, Joseph revealed to his scribes that the papyrus record was an expanded version of the Genesis account of the life of Abraham as found in the Bible. It showed that Moses, in compiling the Pentateuch, had apparently relied upon the very same account which Joseph Smith 
now possessed. Moses evidently abridged and condensed the record as he wrote, omitting considerable detail. Either that, or the original writings of Moses had suffered the same ravages of time through careless and dishonest scribes thought to have affected the rest of the Bible.

But no matter. If Joseph was correct, the Church now had before it the very work from which Genesis had been derived; nothing less than the original, first-hand journal that had been kept by Father Abraham himself. And this account, now slowly unfolding as the Prophet labored to translate it — first in Kirtland, later in Nauvoo — not only cast new light on the background and experiences of the great biblical patriarch, it also gave scriptural authority to a number of new doctrines and teachings Joseph had recently introduced."

Wow, right? Important is a massive understatement!

So what to do with them? What do you think Emma? Joseph III? Any ideas?

One of them: “Oh, I don’t know, why don’t we just get rid of them. That collector, Alex Combs, is interested and we can make a few bucks off them.”

Really? You sell them to some collector???

The way that Seth speaks about the women’s bodies is no better than Michael Darby’s disgusting behavior and I simply do not understand why this is not being talked about more.

And don’t get me started on Ashley getting the magnitude of hate that she has received for standing behind Michael, while Meredith has nothing but crickets.

I’ll die on this hill.

I’m a little late to the game and am just now catching up on RHOP. I just finished the season 4 finale and am literally disgusted with Michael Darby. He is so clearly a creep to me and the consensus between the cast (minus Ashley) seems to be the same. I was just wondering what the public perception was? I’m frankly surprised he’s still on the show, I would think that Bravo would remove him if he had a history of touching production members without consent.
