==Question: Has the name Abraham ever been associated with an Egyptian "lion couch" scene?==
===Another lion couch scene has been found with Abraham's name associated with it===

Another lion couch scene has been discovered which actually includes Abraham's name. Note that it does ''not'' claim that Abraham is the figure on the lion couch, and notes that "[t]he figure on the lion couch in this papyrus is a woman." That is very clear from looking at the papyrus. However, the wording under the figure states "Abraham upon..." and then it becomes unintelligible so scholars are at a stand-still as to knowing if the circling of the name of Abraham in that phrase (written in Greek) is the identification of the figure as Abraham. <ref>See John Gee, [https://www.lds.org/ensign/1992/07/research-and-perspectives-abraham-in-ancient-egyptian-texts?lang=eng Research and Perspectives: Abraham in Ancient Egyptian Texts] on lds.org (July 1992)</ref>
