A unique nugget of Latter-day Saint scripture is Facsimile 2 in the Book of Abraham.
It is a picture-scripture called a hypocephalus and it is overflowing with symbolic meaning.
Joseph Smith gave partial explanations of the figures and their meaning and then wrote: The above translation is given as far as we have any right to give at the present time.
Joseph knew there was more to discover He left it for later generations to uncover.
The original owners knew the original meaning and could.
