Claim
Egyptologists claim that the priest in Facsimile 1 should have the head of Anubis rather than a "strangely un-Egyptian" human head.
Response
- It should be noted that the head of the priest in Facsimile 1 appears to be a direct copy of the head of the reclining figure, which appears in the original papryus. This would, at the very least, disqualify the head as being "un-Egyptian."
- There is evidence in the original papyrus that the head of of the priest was indeed the jackal head of Anubis.
