Is there any evidence that JS would have been exposed to the concept of "reformed egyptian"?

He might have known about "demotic" Egyptian. The Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799, and the demotic section cracked around 1814. At any rate, Anton's Caracters, if indeed they come from gold BoM plates, would probably be somewhat stylistically different from Rosetta stone demotic, since the Rosetta Stone was inscribed in the late 2nd century BCE.

These websites slay me - not because they are accurate or inaccurate, but mostly how they cherry-pick antiquities to "prove" something. I could come up with a lot of cultural correlations too, if I had two entire continents to sift through, taking what I like and ignoring the rest.
