John Gee, in his 'testimony' on Mormon Scholars (mostly living) Testify:

'What if the Church of Jesus Christ is not true?...then Egyptology is a waste of time.'

He also makes, what appear to be, some disparaging remarks about his Non-LDS colleagues:

Some Egyptologists even imagine that they are engaged in science, even though in theory and substance what we do is not remotely like what science does. We do not think like scientists.

Do we have any Egyptologists who would like to venture an opinion on John Gee's stated belief about the field of Egyptology?

I'd imagine they might suspect Gee of projecting his own methods onto them.

I don't see the connection. Egyptology has nothing to do with the LDS church. To make a connection where none exists is just... well, not what I'd expect from a scholar.
