If you want to go down a fun rabbit hole that is in this vein, look up the Mormon Book of Abraham. It’s basically smoking gun proof that Joseph Smith was a fraud.
(tl;dr Joseph Smith acquired and “translated” some Egyptian scrolls that conveniently turned out to be written by Abraham and justified the Mormon faith, or some such. Fast-forward a few years and Egyptian script is translated for real. We now know that the Book of Abraham scrolls are just common Egyptian burial texts. The mental gymnastics some Mormons go through to try to justify it are hilarious).

Its probably still in the planning phase too
What a fantastic nugget! I never spotted that.
To be fair, they’re both fictional.
